Homemade 2001 and Rotator and Battery Run

ive got alot done from the last update, the siren head is 99.9% done all i need to do on the siren head is to add the FS logo to the motor cover

collector rings
made of 2 wheels with copper wire from a trash picked appliance, cut the cord off, stripped the copper from cord and rolled the wire from the +and - wound up on a knex tire and wheel the brushes will be several steel wires gently gliding along the collector rings

gear reducers
3 sets of gears slowing the rpm down from 25-30 rpm to 1-2 rpm, very slow, all homemade and i built that design to be extremely small and compact. next update will be the brushes and collector rings fully assembled and the siren head fully complete

Battery run, i wasn't planning on running it, but i found a AA battery lying by my computer, but my computer is louder than that run

Well you could keep then the same and have the wavery sound, our tin foil for a clearer sound :) Your siren, your choice. ;)

@AKSoapy29 yea :) but ive never thought of usin tin foil when i was makin this video, im actually gonna do what you said, add tin foil to the outside, i need a smooth surface

[cheetawolf]

with those collector rings, the pitch will waver, just like a real 2001!

nice realism!

@cheetawolf lol unless i do what AKSoapy29 said, "put tin foil on it "

[jamesoncalebbrandon]

[hootergirlsrhot]

@jamesoncalebbrandon lol yeah i can't wait til its all on one working piece :) im thinking of doing something to the battery pack so i can run this all from a computer power supply

Nice siren. For the collector rings, you could hot glue strips of tin foil onto it. I think you would get a better connection ;)
