I was probably not clear on this point. I HAVE made a version that just
trows the snow forward. Se this picture at Brickshelf:

There are actually small snowblowers that works like this, and this
construction was easy to build so I started there. But the problem with this
design is that it is only good for a small amount of snow, and for a small
yard. When you only trow the snow forward as you go forward with this type
of construction, it will at the end be too much snow for this to work.
What I was after is two screws that brings the snow to the center where
another fan is located, this fan is the one that trows the snow into the
air. This is how the larger snowblower is working. Its those two screws that
I have a hard time making, partly because it has to be usable and partly
because of odd angels.

Thanx, I'll give it a try...
