CLM Carter Air Raid Siren

[@murrfarms]

Something tells me these big boys are probably really damned loud running at their full speed. I bet they sound absolutely amazing too with those huge rotors, especially running the attack signal!

[@murrfarms]

***** Oh yes, definitely. I would love to hear one of them in person since rarely does a camera's recording do justice for how loud some sirens truly are. Even though these big fellas only spin at half the speed that most other sirens with induction motors typically do (around 1750 RPM here vs around 3450 RPM), they still move some serious air for sure.

[@murrfarms]

***** That would have been pretty cool to see too. I guess unlike the US, the Canadian officials wanted to stick with the typical minor 3rd interval dual tone for their sirens, mainly since it is musically less-harmonious than some of the other variations that US manufacturers experimented with. I too would love to see (or rather, hear) the largest 10/12 dual-rotor CLM siren model run with one of these big 20/24 ones; I feel fairly sure that these would pack a bigger punch than the 10/12 siren. Hard to say on the STH size comparison since I don't think I have yet seen a diameter measurement on these CLM sirens. They do look pretty similar in size though, and I would imagine they are at least about 20 inches across (for comparison, the STH-10 rotor is 22 inches in diameter).

[@randomthings9286]

It’s probably 3 phase

[@SirensandThunderbolts1003]

@@randomthings9286 That is correct they are 3 phase but wouldn't stop (ColdWarCanada) from renting a 3 phase generator as these things don't pull a whole lot of amps.

[@doggo3354]

You’d probably be right as it has a bigger intake to suck in more air

[@MidwestSirenProductions]

Man those bearings are smooth!

[@TheSleepyMechanic0524]

Probably not. The heavy rotors will do that. Look how huge they are

[@constant3273]

Los The Ghost 3 year old comment but they still gotta be smooth not just heavy

[@badischerheuler5997]

I want to hear how they sound on full power

[@Thunderbolt_1000_Siren]

It would sound very similar to the 2T22

[@SkyGameZZZZ]

Badischer Heuler yo would need a whole bunch of shit to power it They are just using a drill

[@Vyclops]

look up clm siren

[@willthetrill4849]

You need 480 volts

That Mobil Directo back there is freaking huge.

[@average_Gamer321]

[@asherhayden4061]

The Clm in the back. Is like the middle child

[@SchucoCanAmGuy]

I freaking love those wind downs from 20/24 port sirens... i really like how they sound.

[@jaym-bu3cr]

Scary noises to say the least, image hearing them noises every night

[@edilsonbarbosa3535]

Me: hey what you got that Mobil Directo Siren? Mobil Directo Siren: LEAVE ME ALONE

[@TheBobcat418]

That thing sounds amazing! I would love to hear one of those things at full power. With bearings like that and such large rotors, I think that this siren could rival the STH-10 in terms of wind down time.

[@Leatherface123.]

You’ve gotta get those running

[@Capsorio.Armiya]

Getting one of these is a great opportunity to add more sirens in Baguio city

[@hmsirensandfirealarms]

at 0:16 it sounds like the siren only about 30 minutes away from me in Ravenstruther

[@thatonethattalksalot7656]

They look so heavy to spin!

[@brysonp.473]

Aren't those sirens like mythical creatures of the siren world? I thought that they weren't even real until I saw this video.

[@childishtombino1275]

CLM Test 1 and CLM Test 2

[@anewstarttoabrokenlife8662]

that test wasn't at full power though, 3 stage 550V it was run on 220V I think .

[@E60foamer]

They have one installed on a fire station in Alvinston Ontario.

[@marisahorton6747]

Sounds like an Hi-Lo Siren Carter Sirens are so huge

[@michaelmurray8683]

So I know this was 6 years ago, but what has happened to these Two sirens? I would love to restore one of these!

[@Leatherface123.]

He got one running

[@friedmanirit]

It's been a few years.. Are there any updates on these?

[@Leatherface123.]

He got one running

[@budgie508]

My guess is: I don't think 20/24 port sirens will ever be made again.

[@supersignal2334]

What are those other two hiding in the background?

[@imaginox9]

I can see either a Mobil Directo or an Allertor, but given the CLM sirens I'd say it is a Mobil Directo

[@ColdWarCanada]

One is a rotating CLM (has been donated) and the other a Mobil Directo

[@rainyrec]

[@nolibtard6023]

wiifire8 And the other one

[@HDFoxra]

I'm surprised no one has thought to use these things as generators. I mean, they spin for freaking EVER after power is cut from them..... so priming them up to a decent speed, and using something to give 'natural' outside power to keep the wheels turning, then hooking up some batteries/a charger to the electric motor would produce plenty of power o-o just gotta either live with the constant siren noise, or seal off the holes so it doesn't make noise XD

[@skibikeride2000]

Hikari Well you wouldn't use them as a generator because regardless of how long they spin after power is cut off you'll never get as much energy as was put into them. Flywheels are used pretty frequently to mechanically provide a more stable power out put but there would be no reason to use these as a flywheel

[@bonniebays]

How much of them do you have I see 3 in the video

[@anticipationwaves2952]

Not gonna lie, it sounds good

Too many ports, creating pitches too high. Lower pitches travel further and penetrate buildings and vehicles better.

[@Sipex6484]

Higher pitches actually Penetrate better.

[@robertgift]

@@Sipex6484 Incorrect. Such is also why the ridiculous Federal Signal "Rumbler" was developed. Sounds twoctves lower than thelectronic siren to which it is connected. My Federal Signal 2t22A is 10 and 12 port sirens. Would be.tter if 5 and 6 ports. Creates a perfect "pure" minor third musical interval.
