Abstract
The invention is a debris blower horizontally mounted on a cart that can be fabricated to be towed or self-powered by a rider. The blower is mounted on the cart horizontally, with an air discharge chute on either side. The blower can also have a front and/or back discharge chute. The air travels from the blower in a circular pattern around the blower channel and escapes unimpeded through the discharge chutes. The air traveling in a circular pattern will also escape from the front and/or back discharge chute unimpeded. Deflectors control the amount of air that flows through the discharge chutes. The deflectors are operated by actuators that the user controls through controls on the unit or by remote control. The controls can be wireless.

- a first opening in the blower housing;
- a first discharge chute attached to the first opening that discharges air from the blower;
- a second opening located on the opposite side of the blower housing from the first opening;
- a second discharge chute attached to the second opening that discharges air from the blower;
- a third opening between the first and second openings;
- a third discharge chute attached to the third opening that discharges air from the blower;
