Vermont inventor creates backyard Zamboni
East Montpelier, Vt. (AP) June 28, 2006 - Damian Renzello has created the ultimate outdoor backyard dream machine for ice lovers — the backyard Zamboni.
He has mounted a snow blower on the front of a four-wheel all-terrain vehicle, added an ice scraper blade underneath and mounted a water tank connected to pipes and hoses that lays down a film of water to create a glass-like finish to outdoor ice.
Called the Bambini Revolution, the machine will sell for about $30,000 to outdoor ice skating enthusiasts.
And he notes the Bambini is an all-purpose machine. It can serve as a snowblower to clear a driveway, it can mow a lawn in summer and it can spread liquid fertilizer from its tank.
As long as it doesn't explode and set your place on fire, then I guess you're all set.
