Radiative and indictive snow removal through sublimation or melting
I've brainstormed ideas on how to melt snow that piles up on roads instead of moving it, especially on city streets where too much of it has to be removed in dump trucks. Melting it with trucks that are powered by electricity, which cooks off the snow into vapor that flies off into the atmosphere, could be one way of doing it. Where the water can be poured out behind the truck, after the snow is melted and made into warm water inside it (nuclear fusion reactor on the truck would be good for this). The snow removal would thus use the hot water from the melted snow: 1. to rinse remaining snow and flow it off into the gutters, wells and off the road 2. heat the road somewhat so fresh snowfall would melt 3. the streets would be washed and cleaned with warm water First, I thought about an electric truck using radiative heating, then to heat the snow as the truck picks up off the ground while it moves. This would be a good solution to melt off the snow, however I ran into a problem
