Our system includes a Wye-channel, extended with rigid transport tubing, which is then attached to flexible tubing, so that we have the ability to manipulate the deposition path via the nozzle which is found at the base of the entire system.

Using a large air compressor, the lab-made ice chips and snow are transported via the tubing and finally out of the deposition nozzle. Thus far, the results have been extremely positive and may open up several possibilities for the development of this system and future concepts for the project.
