Russian Dad Builds Daughter Leaf Blower Powered Sled

Posted on by

A guy recently built his daughter a sweet winter sled, powered by two leaf blowers. It was made by a very cool dad from Belgorod, Russia, and he is clearly winning at the parenting game.

The video below is only about 18 seconds long, but that’s long enough to show off this crazy creation as it propels the kid through the snow chasing an adult. It looks like this sled gets up to a decent speed too, but not fast enough for me. I would add at least three more industrial-strength leaf blowers. And put a plow on the front too. There’s no reason that kid can’t be plowing the driveway while she’s having all of that fun. And give those blowers some sway so she can make turns. But otherwise, it’s pretty damn cool.

I saw someone in the comments section saying “It blows!” Whatever man. Why don’t you make like a tree and leaf!

Man, these kids today have way cooler dads than we had when I was a kid. Back then our dads were all like “Do your homework” and stuff. Now fathers all over the world are building cool stuff for their kids. I want a dad like this guy.

DIY Cheese Ball Machine Gun: I’ll Give You a Snack You Won’t Believe

Posted on by

One of YouTube’s star makers NightHawkInLight made a gun that fires cheese balls using an electric leaf blower, several PVC pipes and a large cheese ball container.

It’s a fairly simple toy, but building it isn’t as straightforward as you might think. You have to insert a small wedge or ramp inside the pipe, right after the leaf blower’s mouth and just before the T-section that connects the cheese ball container to the rest of the pipe. The ramp will prevent the powerful blast of air from going up to the container and make it easier to suck the cheese balls out.

I love how YouTuber Christopher Perry dropped by the video’s comments to say they’ve been searching for years for a guide on making this exact same toy. Some people just have their goals sorted out.

If you have a young child, a power wheels car and a leaf blower, you can clear your yard of leaves with no work at all. Well, no work on your part. Just let your kid do all of the work.

Jarrad Provost works smart, not hard. He attached a leaf blower to his son’s Power Wheels truck to help clear the fall leaves from his yard. Dad gets to lay back and enjoy himself, while the kid gets to have fun and cultivate a healthy work ethic at the same time. This is a simple and brilliant solution to yard work.

Dads like this should be given an award. He inspires us all. In fact, at this very moment, dads everywhere are attaching leaf blowers to any and all child-driven vehicle they can find.

Guy Sweeps His Patio Using a Drone

Posted on by

We are always complaining that we should have robots that will do our chores by now. Well, the truth is that we do, we just have to think outside of the box. Why not let your drone do some cleaning for you. No need to strain yourself sweeping your patio, as demonstrated in this video.

Mike Schreurs shows us how to put our drones to work, so we can make life easier. Watch as his drone quickly sweeps the leaves from his patio, using its powerful blades as an impromptu leaf blower. Mike is using a DJI Phantom 3 drone, because brooms suck and this is less work.

The drone really makes quick work of clearing leaves and it even moves the broken broom handle off of the patio in just seconds.

That’s Not a Leaf Blower. THIS Is a Leaf Blower

Posted on by

It’s that time of year again. Summer is over and soon the leaves will soon start falling. It’s a beautiful thing to look at. Until you have to do all of that yard work. Then it just sucks.

You might as well get the help of a powerful ally to help you in the task. The TB2MB JET Gas Leaf Blower by Troy-Bilt will help to make it easy. This mega leaf blower pushes 650 cfm (cubic feet per minute), at speeds reaching 130mph.

Even those heavy wet leaves won’t stand a chance. Another great feature is that it is “JumpStart™ Capable”. That means it can interface with an optional device that gives it automatic ignition, so you don’t have to pull the cord to start it. It will cost you $149, but it sounds like it will pay for itself by making yard work super easy. That’s what I like to hear.
