for all interested. don't worry did me due diligence :D informed the immediate neighbours id be running it a handful of times. however i did underestimate how loud it would be through 2 brick walls haha! but hey ho! fine for a blip but definitely wasn't gunna get away with practicing somewhere over the rainbow on the theremin for 5-10 minutes, contrary to the vids, i aire on the side of caution with that sorta crap ha. so on the hunt for somewhere to do that! will likely block one side off and see how it fairs with one tone, as you know the are dual tone and might not work well with the scale, but tbh without both tones it would sound like a siren trying to play somewhere over the rainbow haha.

I can't decide whether Sam is the best possible person to own an air raid siren, or the worst possible person to own an air raid siren, or both...

[@ToyKeeper]

You know you've reached peak punk (or maybe peak metal?) when one of the instruments you play is an air raid siren.

[@MindlessTurtle]

Turns out an air raid siren is a bit loud. Who knew?

[@Janderius]

Sam not owning any ear plugs is simultaneously the most surprising and most unsurprising thing

[@mikeselectricstuff]

I wonder if you could add some servo-movable vanes to get different pitches. Oh, yes and some mesh over those finger slicers of course!

[@MB-nk5lr]

You could put it in a transparent vacuum box. if you pull enough mbar it should reduce the loudness of the siren and people can still see it spinning. just an idea.

[@yuGtahT]

Sam had the local elderly hitting the floor for this one 😂

[@steampunkscientist]

After a museum volunteer accidentally jammed the power button on, we have renamed this channel to "Look Mum No Neighbours!"

[@Gersberms]

When you turn of the inverter, that motor stops almost instantly. All that momentum has to go somewhere, so I imagine it causes a huge strain on the electronics of that VFD. Go gentle on the speed changes and it should last you much longer.

[@DasGanon]

Appropriately, Air Raid sirens like this are used for Tornado warnings in the US

[@AmericanLocomotive1]

On an air-raid siren like this, you can directly control the volume by controlling the amount of air that passes through the rotors. You could do this by strapping a wide brand around the perimeter of each rotor housing. Simply sliding the band to cover more or less of the port area would change the volume. As a bonus, the less air you let pass through the rotors, the less load the motor is under (and therefore less power).

[@joeldix923]

I saw that siren for sale yesterday but couldn't get wife's permission lol

[@Simon-qn5wm]

I love Sam's boundless enthusiasm for anything he collects. You know its going to be a good video

[@damnson666]

I would love to hear the phone calls when Sam calls around studios to ask if its ok to rehearse with air raid siren :D

[@krazed0451]

A soundproof and most importantly finger proof box seems like a great idea :-)

[@Hairyfoot_Studio]

Absolutely fantastic. What made it for me were the tissue paper ear defenders being blown backwards 😂

[@Colin_Ames]

I have to say, this was not something I expected to see at the museum, but I’m glad you got it. Good luck with building a box for it.

[@altronixvideo]

There used to be a public air raid siren at the end of my garden. It was always such a thrill as a kid if I was at home when it was tested once a year.
