I think i will still try and market my redesigned product idea.

The more you blow, the more greenhouse gas you create, the warmer the world gets, the less snow you have to blow. It's self limiting. Screw that, get a snow blower.

You can't change the angle the blade meets the pavement. You can't angle the blade like jeff says. You can't throw snow like with a snow pusher. This is a big one, what it you already have 2 feet of snow on the side of your driveway? Where's it going to go? Maybe this might work for an inch or so for short swaths, but I'll keep my trusty pusher for light snows. Looks like I'll be getting it out again today in fact.

Smok'n hot, actually. I can clear almost as much snow as my neighbor does with his blower while not pumping greenhouse gasses into the Michigan atmosphere.

It needs to have an angled blade to clear larger areas... or you would have to be built like an ox with great traction to push large areas. Then you would be bending (leaning) forward anyway to get an effective push. This product belongs in the Bush Leagues of snow shovels. Not.

But you'd just be pushing and piling up snow ahead of you if you are clearing a long driveway or sidewalk. It looks like it could work for clearing very small areas.
