Leaf Blowers

 

Leaf blowers are also known as blowers that were designed to blow leaves, previously cut grass and debris in a desired direction. The blower machine requires that it be either mounted on the back of the user, handheld or pushed to operate. The larger blower machines are known as "walk-behind" blowers that are manually pushed by the operator to cover larger surface areas. Blowers are powered electrically using a power cord, rechargeable battery or gasoline. An electric blower can either be with or without a cord. The motor of corded electric blowers are powered with 6-12 Amps, whereas cordless electric blowers can power a motor between 20-80 Volts of power. The airflow range of an electric blower is between 150-180 cubic feet per minute that travels at a speed of 60-250 mph. The motor of a gas-powered blowers are either 2-stroke or 4-stroke engines; a 2-stroke engine needs both oil and gas, whereas 4-stroke engines only need gas. Although gas-powered blowers are still being produced electrically powered bloweres are preferred as they reduce atmospheric pollution.
