Patent ID: 8376662

Claim:
A dynamic blower system for applying shredded aluminum foil or other blowable radiant media on top of existing building insulation to form a non-flammable, fully-breathable radiant reflective barrier which reflects heat away from the insulation in summer, reflects heat back to the insulation in winter preventing heat from escaping, allows moisture to pass therethrough, and does not cause any condensation problem, comprising: a tank into which the blowable radiant media may be loaded; said tank having a shape of a surface of revolution; said tank having a central axis of rotation of said surface of revolution; an air input port interconnected with said tank for directing a stream of air to generate an air vortex in said tank, which air vortex causes said blowable radiant media to enter and spin with said vortex; an output hose operably interconnected with an outlet port of said tank; an internal output louver operably interconnected with said tank and positioned relative to said vortex to direct the spinning material into and through said outlet port and said output hose to enable a user to apply said blowable radiant media where desired; multiple means for minimizing damage to said blowable radiant media in said tank, for minimizing contact of said blowable radiant media with anything, and for minimizing the time said blowable radiant media spends in said tank from said air input port to said outlet port of said tank; a loading chute connected to and communicating with the interior said tank for loading said blowable radiant media into said tank; said loading chute having a shape of a surface of revolution; said loading chute having a central axis of rotation of its associated surface of revolution; said loading chute being connected to said tank in a predetermined configuration whereby said central axis of rotation of said loading chute intersects said axis of rotation of said tank obliquely; said loading chute being provided with a hinged lid and a latch; said hinged lid having a viewing port therein enabling a user to determine if re-filling of said blowable radiant media into said tank is required; said loading chute being connected to said tank at said surface of revolution of said tank near a first end of said tank; a kickstand for supporting said tank; and said kickstand being connected to said tank at said surface of revolution of said tank near said first end of said tank.
