Built Only 11 Times in History: The Genius Snowplow Too Dangerous For Canada's Rails

Описание: In 1884, Orange Jull built a revolutionary snowplow that was supposed to change winter forever. Instead, only 11 were ever made. This is the true story of the genius machine that was too dangerous, too complex, or too ahead of its time for Canada's railroads.
🔍 THE STORY:
After improving the original rotary snowplow design with a cutting blade system, Orange Jull seemed destined for success. But when he sold his patent to the Leslie Brothers, everything changed. Bitter about royalties and watching others profit from his work, Jull invented something entirely new: the Jull Centrifugal Snow Excavator.
This wasn't just another snowplow. It featured a revolutionary corkscrew-like apparatus that broke up snow and expelled it through an overhead chute. The design was brilliant on paper. Railways tested it. Some were impressed. But between 1890 and 1892, only 11 units were ever built before production stopped forever.
What went wrong? Was it technical problems? Clogging issues? Or was Jull's invention simply too far ahead of its time? This documentary uncovers the forgotten story of a Canadian inventor whose genius machine became a historical footnote while his rivals built empires.
Discover the untold history of the Jull Excavator snowplow, the patent dispute that created it, and why sometimes being too innovative can be more dangerous than not innovating at all.
