where did you get your thunderbolt1000

[AKSoapy29]

How does the chopper work? Is it 2 rubber disks? A fan? Can you go in depth about how it works please?

[vanamonde2]

@AKSoapy29 See my --- Garage Test Of My Other Federal Model 5 Siren -- to see what a chopper is. The chopper is the rotor of the siren that spins. The stator is the outside ring with the slots that doesn't move.

why do I think it sounds like a 2001? O.o

[rhett443]

Do you know of any cities in texas replacing sirens soon? also, if you live in texas where do you live?

[Rageman1112]

I WILL BUY IT!!

[russelD9]

where did you get that chopper from ?

[vanamonde2]

It's made up of leftover parts from Valley View Tx or maybe it came from the stuff I got from Gainesville Tx. I can't remember.

[juterman]

that sounds cool! I wish I hade my own siren!

[cheetawolf]

i want a tbolt, even a tiny little piece, like a solenoid or a chopper, even a piece of wire from one of its armatures... but the piece i REALLY want is the horn...id put a speaker inside it or something and give it a nice little home in my room... :(

[LNERMallard]

What I'D really like is a 1003 in one piece (without the blower, of course, so I can run it indoors.)

[crazywarriorman]

Its not that hard to get a hold of one, IF you have the money.

[soccerdude7330]

This sounds louder than a 4/5 5/6 dual tone chopper. Maybe because it's a whole port, not all cut in half.

[soccerdude7330]

Ah, that's what i figured.

[markzins]

it sounds like a Q2B

[youngestpilotinGa]

ok makes sence cool

[youngestpilotinGa]

what dose the blower do?

[vanamonde2]

It pumps a large volume of air through the Thunderbolt chopper/siren motor to make it really loud.

[train2589]

@vanamonde2 louder than hell.

[codyUSA101]

sound like a fire truck siren

[vanamonde2]

That's pretty much what it is removed from the rest of the Thunderbolt siren.

[EvanToTheFutureDude]

Cool!

[1050HzSineWaveTone]

how many ports does this chopper motor have?

how many inches is it?

[vanamonde2]

5 ports. Same as a Federal Model 2.

I guess it's about 7 inches in dia.

[Siren1000T1]

Wow! Nice demenstration!

[1050HzSineWaveTone]

what is this thunderbolt 1000 chopper made out of?

[vanamonde2]

All the Thunderbolt choppers I have seen have been made out of magnesium.

[1050HzSineWaveTone]

is this one on the video made out of magnesium?

[vanamonde2]

Yes

[FBSCommunications]

Where did you get this 1000?

[vanamonde2]

It's a conglomeration of different parts of leftover sirens from Gainesville and Valley View Texas.
