so the Solenoids have to be open for it to do alert and attack

[vanamonde2]

Yes. The solenoids only close when power is applied to them.

what is the blower for anywaYS, BTW, ID DIE FOR MY TOWNS T-BOLT, I MIGHT ASK THE EMA, OR BORROW TO KEEP IT ON HOLD FOR ME :)

[vanamonde2]

the BLOwer maKES the thing LOud by pumping a LARGE VOLume of AIr TROUgh the chopPER

[turbocountry]

@vanamonde2 Now I have to ask. Is there some protection when the wind is blowing? Like it blows air out to make the sound but what if the wind blows into the horn. Is there protection against that or would there be side effects?

[vanamonde2]

@turbocountry No there isn't any protection needed. Wind blowing into the horn doesn't do anything to the siren. There is a slip band in the rotator to allow the horn to slip in it's rotation if the wind is strong enough.

Where do you live? You really should choose a snazzy name for your siren restoration business like "Dallas County Choppers" or wherever you live! :) Put the two-wheeled variety of "choppers" to shame.

where'd you ger the thunderbolt?



[Cobras7111]

Cool vid. I did not know that the bar across the horn was either shaped like that or controlled the hi-lo signal.

how did you obtain a thunderbolt? i would like to get my hands on one for my own personal reasons, like an alarm clock that would actually get me out of bed, or something. *cough* neighborhood prank *cough cough*

[DrummerCoCa]

Thanks! I knew about how solenoids worked before but I'd never seen exposed solenoids in action. Nice demo!

1:01 it sounds like a car alarm

[hootergirlsrhot]

it would sound awesome if you are able to do the hi lo cycle while its winding down
