System for freeing snow bound vehicle - uses hot gases to melt snow surrounding wheels from exhaust or engine cooling

摘要

In the method of freeing and running vehicles held by ice or snow, the snow or ice is melted by projecting jets of hot gas or air in front of or, preferably, around each wheel. The hot gas is provided by the engine through bellows and can come from the cooling system or exhaust. The hot gas source can be from a generator independent of the engine and the driver does not have to leave the cab. a network of gas pipes is permanently installed, ending in jets, suitably angled.
