Stand for something, or you'll fall for anything.
FWIW, those small snowblowers make removing x-mas lights easy peasy.....

Yikes, I gave up hard math out in the open when I saw this. There are crazy people out there!

But I think you're safe anyway. Obvious jibberish math is full of numerical constants instead of symbols. And jar, beard, wise+acre, pores, hill, pi/z-axis?

I'm laughing - some very funny posts here. I'm guessing - a long shot - but it is still in our present time/space continuum, aka, Minkowski space.

What I'd like to know is what exactly is a snowblower? I understand the theory and have been told they exist but I've never seen one. Some data on this might help with the estimate.
Growing up in PA our family had a snow shovel so I dutifully bought one when I moved south in the '70s. I'm still waiting to use it.
I knew a guy who moved to TN from Wisconsin and brought his snowmobile along. When I last saw it the coating of dust was about 1/2" thick from sitting for decades.

Well now.
Have you done a aero clearance mod to your second stage impeller? That probably would have given you an extra 10 feet if the arc chute angle was good.

I won't hazard (pun intended) as to how far the phone might have gone. But if it doesn't work after this incident this schematic might provide a clue.

In as much as he lives in TN, your "swamp" cooler probably wouldn't cool the swamp near where he lives. Explain why one needs a "swamp" cooler in AZ?
(PS... I do know what a swamp cooler is.)

So much to learn, so little time.....
I'm guessing the phone got chucked 15 feet. If it were my 8hp 2 stage 24" thrower doing the deed, it would have gone 30 feet.

About 8 years ago I conducted a similar experiment.
Launcher: Toro S-620 (rubber paddle type)
Projectile: My car keys
Distance: about 10 feet. But they didn't go as far as they could as a hedge was in the way. One key bent. I found them with a metal detector about a week later. Guess I could have waited until spring. 'Course I was taking care of the snow at Mom's house, no good deed goes unpunished.
As far as the phone is concerned, is this just an intellectual exercise or is there a betting pool? Inquiring wags want to know!

Those Toro single stage blowers can move some snow and other stuff like roof shingles if you happen to have a corner where snow accumulates on your roof. Guess how I know? My estimate of phone distance is well over 20 feet with a scatter field of about 40 degrees.

You break the shear pin on the snow thrower/blower. Still.... How far phone goes all depends on how you have your chute set.
