ACA P-50 Siren Test Gone Wrong - Rhinelander, WI 06/01/24

[@TrainsAndSirensOfSouthCarolina]

RIP ACA P-50 😵😭

[@BenAnimationsOfficial]

The P-50 invented a new signal

[@mattmakesmachines]

Yelp has existed since the gen 1 allertor

[@Doge_dude]

Fr

[@ACI_clips.]

The self destruct tone

[@emrilbennett8704]

That’s also called yelp because of the sound and also it’s association with very sick sirens, although I think this P50 helped others come up with a new better name for it, that being the explosion signal.

Bro did Yelp signal

[@ThatSceneKittyCatFemboy]

I heard the chopper friction welded itself to the stator.

[@Rcdude2007]

Dang man that chopper motor is fried for good

[@kansasclocksandsirens]

Surprisingly, the motor was fine lol.

[@bigdikboiCJ]

@@kansasclocksandsirens bs it literaly blew up in the video

[@kansasclocksandsirens]

@@bigdikboiCJ That was the smoke from the rotor welding itself to the stator

[@bigdikboiCJ]

@@kansasclocksandsirens no the motor went boom and that caused it to stop suddenly

[@kansasclocksandsirens]

@@bigdikboiCJ the rotor cracked. The motor was fine

[@TheBoringFamily]

3:39 sounds like the chopper deleted itself

[@adinramicc]

You looked like you were dressed for a wedding on other peoples videos, but after the P50 exploded what did you guys eat?

[@TrainsAndSirensOfSouthCarolina]

I'm sorry Guys I couldn't be Able to come to SirensCon 2024 but in 7 Years Time I might come Then and see you all Ok I'll Try to come 😊 bye

[@AlmostBlind]

What's going on with the voltage? why many different steps?

[@tris4_4]

The motor was probably bad from the beginning

[@aubaubs_]

The generator they used for the siren was too small

[@ForYouPlays]

in my opinion the broken signal sounds creepier

[@ilovephilipines]

3:54 why did you add an image here

[@RockyTheDog1717]

That’s what the chopper looked like after the explosion

[@DaAmericanSpeakingMalaysian]

Why not buy an asc t-135 ac? The t-135 ac has immortal choppers. This p-50's chopper was made of aluminium, and the t-135 ac's choppers are made of thick stainless steel

[@sirendude9903]

😂 I think the motor burned out.

[@FS_3T22A]

Fiberglass got caught in the rotor and welded itself onto the stator and seized up and that's why the chopper stopped instantly

[@ilovelmg]

That sucked, also what caused it?

[@merp_dino]

maybe an old blower that was getting rusty or cracked blower

[@MichanaAlerting]

There were micro-cracks in the chopper that went unnoticed during inspections. They got there when the siren swallowed some of its fiberglass while in service, and it was removed and scrapped. Under the centrifugal force of running the siren again those micro-cracks grew until the chopper expanded and friction-welded itself to the stator, causing it to stop dead. The chopper is now unfixable and as good as a coffee table, and will probably have to be replaced completely if the siren will ever run again.

[@ilovelmg]

@@merp_dino There was no blower on that siren.

[@ilovelmg]

@@MichanaAlerting Thanks.

[@MichanaAlerting]

@@ilovelmg No problem!
