The Snow Shovel On A Wheel
Wovel - The Snow Shovel on a Wheel
This snow removal tool was selected as Time Magazine’s Award Winner for Best Inventions 2006. At first glance, the Wovel might appear to the layperson to be a novel-looking device counterintuitive to effective snow removal. In fact, the Wovel is an elegant and efficient design based on two of the oldest and most commonplace scientific principles ever put into use: the wheel and the lever. It’s wheel size, handle height, overall length, and the double-width blade are all perfectly proportioned to maximize the lever action and to capture the greatest amount of snow in one pass.
The Wovel (rhymes with shovel) is the safe alternative to shoveling. Now, with virtually no effort, you can throw snow without twisting or lifting.
