I was watching a movie, and then I saw that thumbnail and I knew I had to click. Worth it.

Minnesota siren documentation!!! You're a king man!

What an awesome little antique siren! Glad it's still in service after 100 years!!

[@emrilbennett8704]

100 years? Wow. They must either be taking care of that thing really well, or that siren is a trooper. It’s probably both.

[@emrilbennett8704]

Never heard of this one it’s really cool! The sound of this little siren kind of reminds me of a 2001 by my house, but the thing is still really cool!

These are 10HP? I thought these were 5. Nice video though!

[@toddster2656]

Why does a siren motor need to be 10HP? My garage door opener is less than 1 horsepower.

[@supermaximax10]

@toddster2656 good question. Might be because the rotors are so large and so heavy

[@BeaverStateOWS]

​@@toddster2656 because sirens are MUCH larger than a garage door opener lol.
