Abstract
An artificial snow making apparatus including a mechanism for changing artificial snow generated therein to wet snow which includes an apparatus for making artificial snow and a test chamber located therebelow for receiving the generated snow. An air channel is located within the test chamber and connected to the artificial snow generating mechanism. A blower sends air through the air channel for mixing with and carrying the generated snow along a flow path. A mechanism for supplying heated and humidified air to the air channel is disposed at a portion of the flow path which is downstream from where the generated snow is supplied to the air channel. A sample fitting frame is disposed in the air channel at a position downstream of the position along the air channel at which the heated and humidified air is supplied thereto. The sample fitting frame allows a sample, such as a cable, to receive wet snow thereon and the velocity at which the wet snow strikes the sample and the wetness of the generated snow can be adjusted.
