Snow removal: a better way for getting rid of snow
CYSF · 2025
Overview
Researching and finding the most efficient solution to remove snow and if this solution is safe to use.
Problem
My problem is to find and explore new options for snow removal that can be applied to any different scenario, whether that is getting the best results for overall snow removal, or a cost effective solution that still gets the job done.
Method
My method for finding a solution is to take some of the top snow removal solutions and some minor ones and attempt to research how a fusion between these different solutions to attempt to either cover their weaknesses or to instead improve upon the existing solution. I have picked certain solutions that I have mixed, however if the fusion of sultions is toxic then I have chosen to nto pursue that avenue, however if the solution showes promising results than I measure it's pros and cons, and then proceed to classify it for what category and situation it will be in, it's toxicity, efficiency, and preventative properties along with cost are all measured to classify it.
