ACA P-50, Siren Con 2024, Rhinelander, WI

The now most over recorded siren on the internet, the 2024 Siren Con P-50. This is my shot up on the side hill right at horn level. Hope you guys enjoy!
So, there are a lot of theories going around about how this happened. Josh did announce that the siren had died from eating another piece of fiberglass however that was before they all took a closer look at the siren. There were no new holes or cracks where fiberglass was missing. This led us to believe that there was damage done previously by the fiberglass while it was still in service. This led to microscopic cracks in the rotor that could not be seen and when bumping the motor so many times the centrifugal force tore the rotor apart slamming into the stator welding them together in less than a 1/2 a second. That is mind blowing. Never knew P-50's had E-brakes on them.
More Siren Con videos on the way, I need sleep lol it will be a few days.

It felt like this was underpowered then somehow exploded

It was nice meeting you at Sirencon and I hope we can meet each other at a siren in Wausau

I don't know what I find worse: the goofy windups or the self-destruction.

[@vincefundyfoxadventures1861]

second week of spotting Börk xd

[@ACAFan101]

Unfortunately the windups had to happen due to the generator being kinda too small for the siren.

​@@ACAFan101 they had to do that same with the Cyclone from 2023. Those bad Bois draw insane amount of power

[@albertotognoni4819]

​@@ACAFan101 An ACA P-50 how much Power draws? And an ACA cyclone how much draws? Max Power rating of the generator used in question?

@@ACAFan101 I know. It happened with the Cyclone last year too.

Damn that horn is like 6 ft in diameter ? it's immense

One of my favorite sirens showed up but only for a bit before it blew up. Long live the chopper motor.

Welcome

[@TheSirenManiacYT]

Fiberglass flew inside the rotor and stator, making it blow up. But nice catch!

[@ACAFan101]

Read the description a little closer . You are partially correct as that is what causes the micro cracks when it was in service.

[@TheSirenManiacYT]

[@Fishtank1990]

That’s sad i hope it can be fixed our restored

[@SoutheastWarrenEAS]

Not without a new stator...

[@Funkybulb]

The stator can be rewound at a electric motor rewinding shops It also sounded bearings were not in great shape either

[@ACAFan101]

@@Funkybulb The stator is welded to the rotor and cracked in 5 places. Very unlikely to be repaired and is most likely scrap.

[@blockstacker5614]

@@ACAFan101 I think I read that this siren reuses the rotor/stator of another design, is that correct?

[@ACAFan101]

@@blockstacker5614 Yes, in particular the ACA Cyclone 120.

haha big fiberglass bucket go boom boom

@RealToothless why no funny?

[@djkarcher1896]

Sooo the rotor is made out of fiberglass ? That's new to me, as we only have metal ones in Europe. Seems like they have to get another P-50 for parts, as fibreglass is notoriously hard to fix.

[@ACAFan101]

No. The horn and body is made of fiberglass. The rotor and stator are aluminum casted. The reason they need a new rotor and stator is because they have friction welded together.

[@djkarcher1896]

@@ACAFan101 Ahh got it. I hope there are enough scrap P50s to pull the necessary parts from.

What happened? Was it the chopper/rotor that got caught against the stator that caused it to go Boom? Or was it the motor bearings that caused it to go Boom?
