Homemade Air Raid Siren - Test - Nicolas Salenc PBP

[@TrainsAndSirens1]

One of the best homemade sirens I’ve ever heard. Perfect siren pitch (RPMs)! Amazing job!

Hi Thunderbolt siren

[@BrightestBrain]

Great for telling children it’s time for dinner…

[@integza]

Very simple and yet so cool! I had no idea that mechanical sirens were a thing. Great video idea :D

[@Z32spdstr]

Do you rember the little party favor whistles that you blow and makes that quick funny whistle sound it's the same sound effect that's used when a cartoon character slips and falls down the whistle looks like a small little plastic cylinder with a small little disc inside with impellers and then the just like this siren there are ports for air to exit while the disc inside spins as you blow air into the whistle air spins the disc air travels through the impellers while air exits the whistle through the ports the air you blow gets chopped up whenever the each impeller lands on an open port compressing the passage of air just like when you whistle the smaller the opening and harder you whistle the louder it gets in this case the faster the chopper spins the more air the louder the siren gets.

[@LengthyProcess]

Nice siren. Sounds better than most I've heard.

[@EASsirenVids01]

Glad to see you have some knowledge about sirens! But there's one thing... Not all thunderbolts are dual tone. The Thunderbolt 1000 Is single tone and the Thunderbolt 1000T Is dual tone, and the Thunderbolt 1003 is dual tone, and has solenoids, allowing it to do Hi-Lo. There is also a blower at the bottom that supercharges the siren's rotor, allowing it to have that really demanding "TAKE COVER NOW!!" sound. But these blowers also have different variants, which are the 3M, 4M, 5M, 6M (A1), and 7M (I think don't quote me).

[@kennethsteininger8386]

YOU DID A FANTASTIC JOB ON MAKING THAT SIREN!!!! I AM LOOKING FOR ONE MYSELF. DONT HAVE A 3D PRINTER TO DO IT, BUT ANYWAY KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK ON MAKING THEM!!!

Well that's one way to get to know your neighbours! LOL

10/12 port

[@sw6188]

This is the first home-made Carter type siren I have seen that sounds realistic. We use this type of siren here in NZ at our volunteer fire stations as part of the turnout alert for the crew.

[@Savage2413Official]

This is so good. Definitely one of the best home made sirens

Awesome work - that is very cool!! I wanted to build one of these out of a bench grinder years ago, before 3D printers existed in the consumer market! (Thanks for the link/credit for my video btw!!)

Almost 2 years ago I bought a 3D printer just to make this. Now, I own 8 sirens (two being full-size real Cold War Civil Defence sirens), one of which is this 3D printed model. By the way, for those wondering... this siren has an outdoor audible range of over 500m, including several large building obstructions.

[@djmario2381]

Dj Mario it’s because it’s 10/12 ports like a carter

[@tomchidwick]

Now how to control it, tie it in to the NWS alerts system somehow. And yes, the sound on this is awesome. Really love the dual pitch.

[@jezcolborne6329]

Amazing sweet sounding siren there my friend well done

[@jeremyknop5378]

Yeah this is way better sound than any of the ones you can just go out and buy online or on Amazon unless your lucky enough to your hands on an actual honest to goodness retired ar siren. Question though. If you were wanting to put one of these outside and wanted to build the turbine out of a more weather resistant part what metal composition would you recommend to print this with?

[@ryguy2006]

I consider the Tbolt a dual tone AND single tone, because it creates an overtone with the dual-tone chopper interacting with the blower.

[@theeyum]

Spot on with a Carter siren from WW2! Motor speed is 2850 rpm at max.

[@charliejohn02]

You should make more 3D printed sirens, I like them 😁👍

[@Midwest_Sirens]

The Thunderbolt 1000T and the 1003 are dual toned.

[@elstiffmeister]

I did not expect a Carter siren, but if you put the motors on the side to make it cool,

0:23 wait a minute, isnt that the EXACT SAME bench grinder motor that i have in the corner of my house ??????????????????? YUP IT IS. i literally have the EXACT same bench grinder motor in the corner of my house, WHAT A COINCIDENCE.

[@TheOfficialDorianelevator]

and, sadly, mine has a bit of a problem so i cant use it to make said siren for now, tho, i just wonder where you got yours, i got mine from leboncoin (french ebay knockoff).

[@MadsonCCarvalho]

Nice project man!

[@realtimestorms]

Hi nice homemade siren Could you do a distance Siren test?

[@dailyrider2975]

excellent. Now a bowl to direct the sound. Only the outside edge of the spinning rotor needs to be close to make it louder right? So if you tapered the ends you could cut it with an exacto knife to minimize opening?

[@jonuthinslawncareandconstr7772]

Some Thunderbolts are single tone and ACA p50s are dual tone Sirens too

[@blueballs5150]

I’d like to see you test a siren with like 10 or 20 chambers with different tones or just way bigger chambers

[@matthewknibbs2835]

I've tried to pay for this twice now, and on PayPal it just says payment pending, and I haven't received any plans! Is there a problem with the site?

Very well made siren! What is the port ratio? Sounds like 10/12 on 50hz.

[@al66class59]

yep, 10-12 at around 3000rpm is roughly what our sirens have.

[@imaginox9]

Yes indeed, 10/12 ports and he's French so 50 Hz power ! He also recently uploaded a video of a homemade French KM Europ 8 port siren which also sounds spot on. He tested it outside and to avoid any annoyance he did it during an actual siren test

[@abecoulter8550]

The first diy siren that sounds like a real siren

[@HSETM]

Chopper and stator assembly. Also don't forget the XT22!

[@HSETM]

Also add a horn to it. It will project the sound that way

[@JJP_SirenProductions06]

That's actually kind of cool, I think that should be called a GP6T siren or something, since it's a single chopper and stator with 2 tones.

[@pLzza4150]

yeah there should be a solenoid version of the siren so it can do hi-lo edit: what should the solenoid version be called and also it should be a rotating omnidirectional siren

[@JJP_SirenProductions06]

@@pLzza4150 ​ Are you building a siren too? To answer your question, hopefully. Usually if the siren has solenoids, it either has "CS" Coded Shutter/Solenoid, or "Coded". The Thunderbolt 1003 for example. The "3" represents it's a coded Thunderbolt 1000. Something like that.

[@pLzza4150]

Uh, that reply was when I was new to siren enthusiasm. So if you add a solenoid, it'll do pulse.

[@AdamsCarWashVids]

Have you thought about making a siren with eight and 12 ports? As it would probably be a really unique sounding siren

[@bobf3598]

Just make sure you have a compatible grinder to attach it to. I have 3 different grinders and none would fit the rotor. The stator fit without a hitch on all of them. Just wished the 3d model files were included (.STEP etc) to customize a fit. All you get are STL's, a PDF file and a text document.

[@terrimeakin-rosario2508]

great pitch, but how do you decide when it should be running>?/

[@anjasmorohadiwibowo1609]

Hello 2:51 how you make that rotor keep spinning even power off ?

[@patsprankcalls]

It's momentum from the weight of the two grinding wheels on the other side.

[@Acoustic_Theory]

Using the other grindstones as a flywheel is a perfectly valid way of forcing the siren to modulate its pitch. I am surprised this method is nor more commonly used; it also balances the load on the motor bearings. I think the flywheel side should have a protective shroud with drain holes, to prevent your hand from contacting them while the siren is running. The fan side of the siren is already enough of a finger-chopping hazard.

[@zombiedogs]

Can I buy a set from you?

[@kennethsteininger8386]

what would you charge for the stators to make for the bench grinder you had on you tube i like the double ones for the sound i would need a set of 2. thanks

you should make the other side but the grind stones behind the rotors so itll sound like a real siren its just an option
