Hey, time traveler! This article is published at 25/1/2010 (3429 days ago) Therefore, the information in it may no longer be up to date. GIMLI — There\'s a lot of stuff that won\'t cut ice with people fishing, but local inventor Mike olyanick isn\'t one of them. Ojanick invented ice. boring and ice- The cutting equipment made him a toast to Lake Winnipeg net fishermen and winter road builders. Now he is looking at the Red River flood. fighting. The invention is a huge Texas chainsaw. About eight lengths. Two sleds. Olympus Nick wants it to cut off the next Red River ice plug like a Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Ice, of course. Breaking Ice is a weak link in the province\'s flood defense. Steve topop, executive director of Manitoba Water Management, said that without last year\'s ice-breaking efforts, Selkirk\'s river water level would be 4 feet higher, flooding the city. But there are too many glitches with the new \"prototype\" icecutters — At one point, two ice There are knives in the shop under repair The province does not want to use explosives like the United States. In Jinli, the money was spent on ojanick. The 73-year-old ojanick started building machines at the age of 15 when he built two snow planes. The predecessor of the snowmobile, driven by a large propeller, was boarded like water. His specialty is to customize machines for ice fishermen. His best-selling book is \"ice drill\" Fishing holes can be seen on the back of many bombing people around here. It can also be used to freeze winter roads. The screw drill holes in the ice and lifts water up along the edge of the screw. Winter roads need to add to the ice where the water at the bottom of the ice is licked. \"Not many people don\'t know Mike,\" said Gimli ,\" Commercial by Fisher Dave Olsen. \"He\'s well- Known around Lake Winnipeg and northern Manitoba. \"Olympus Nick built accessories for the top rack and the bombers before the snow plows, and made scissors Lift for lifting fish pond on white fish boat. He made a helicopter platform, a plane. movers ( Special trailer), log- Splitters, pilesBrush-remote controlcutters, paint- Almost complete the bike rack of the local Sobeys. Perhaps his best invention so far is the hydraulic system that runs fishing nets under the ice. a \"net letter- If you want. Operate with a pedal of 1 feet so that the fishermen\'s hands are free. Olsen called the device \"clever \". \"Customers say that Olympus Nick is the friendliest in the pain of inventing things, but it gets a little cranky between projects. Wife Delores said that the idea would hit her husband, and when he was sitting on the kitchen table, he would start painting the ideas on the white edge of the Winnipeg Freedom press that day, while she was preparing dinner \"I pay more attention to my ice -- Olympus Nick says he and son Dale run machines and services on the edge of the park in Kingley. Ice- Cutting is a big problem in flood control. Municipal leaders say communities north of Winnipeg have Red River flooding only when there is ice. In the Red River flood water in 1997, the province hired commercial fishermen to drill holes in the glacier with their winches. a Swiss-cheese effect — Exit from North Drain to Lake Manitoba to help break up. The province used two pieces of ice last year. John Szukiewicz\'s new tool in Selkirk Machine Works. There is a fault, but the prototype can be expected, says Topping. Pritchard engineering works with Selkirk machine models and the province is looking to get some major improvements. Of course, better mousetraps are welcome, says Topping. Olympus Nick believes his saw will cut deeper and faster than the existing ice. cutters. It cuts half a metre deep at a speed of 30 metres per minute or one kilometerand-a-half an hour. But he said it could be cut to a metre deep. He will test it vigorously on February and 3. In terms of flood control, ice is cut into five pieces The rice mesh, but not all the way through, otherwise the water will rise through the cracks and freeze again. The cut is to weaken the ice so that it can be broken by two Amphibex icebreakers in the province. The ice- The cutter is designed to be connected to Caterpillar- Amphibious Wolverine car. An Amphibex follows behind and rises and falls on the ice to break the ice. bill. Redekop @ freepress. mb.
