Dans le turbo-forage seule la turbine tourne. Son inertie est relativement élevée et sa vitesse grande. Ceci compense l'immobilité du train de tiges. Mais, dans certains cas, il peut être avantageux de réunir le trépan à la turbine par quelques mètres de masse-tige. Enfin on peut ajouter un ou deux stabilisateurs au-dessus de la turbine [...] La technique du turbo-forage est maintenant au point et l'on sait diriger la turbine comme on l'entend. 5, record 1, French, - turbo%2Dforage

For the purpose of manufacturing snow, we use low-pressure mobile snowmakers commonly called “snow cannons. ” These snow cannons are essentially equipped with an air compressor and a powerful turbine fan. The integrated fan blows the surrounding air through a large tube. At the end of the tube, water is vaporised under pressure through fine nozzles into the flow of air and carried a distance of 20 to 45 meters in altitude, during which the water freezes into crystals and snow flakes, and falls to the ground. 7, record 6, English, - snow%20cannon

À des fins de fabrication ou de production, nous utilisons des enneigeurs mobiles à basse pression appelés communément «canons à neige». Ces enneigeurs sont équipés essentiellement d'un compresseur à air et d'un puissant ventilateur installé sous forme de turbine. Le ventilateur intégré souffle de l'air environnant dans un grand tube. À la fin du tube, de l'eau est vaporisée sous pression au travers de fins gicleurs dans le flux d'air et transportée ainsi sur une distance de 20 à 45 m en altitude, avant que l'eau gelée se cristallise en flocons de neige et tombe sur le sol. 4, record 6, French, - canon%20%C3%A0%20neige
