Here is the man himself. Frank Zamboni.
His machine scrapes the ice, augers it into the tank, washes it, storing the dirty rinse-water, and then melts it and spreads it evenly behind with a "towel", where it quickly re-freezes evenly.
In 2006, an Australian man tried to sell New Zealand on eBay. The bid had reached $3000 AUD before it was taken down. (medium.com)
