How To Make A Fog Horn - Easy PVC Design

[@TheKingofRandom]

The effect with the 10ft tube is rad! I'd like to see you try it with an air compressor and a 4" piece of tube

[@Nighthawkinlight]

No doubt! That might be a summer project

[@Jizzrazz]

NightHawkInLight Did you try put a funnel at the end of the 10ft pole ?

[@Nighthawkinlight]

Zelif I did. It didn't make much of a difference.

[@a_boys307]

I subscribe to you

[@Approx_99]

To explain the noise from the 10ft pipe edition; I bet you anything the noise is caused by air going from sonic to supersonic flow. The diaphragm is likely causing compression waves to overlap, compressing the air and causing it to go supersonic.

[@chrisnotap]

I wonder if the long fog horn sound would be the same if you added elbows but ended up with the same length of pipe?

[@HouseholdHacker]

That last one sounded amazing. It would strike fear into mm late at night.

[@Nighthawkinlight]

Then my plan is coming together nicely....

[@r-trooper942]

hehehehhehe :P sory for this extra notification :(

[@kleetus92]

Sounds like a Jake brake for a truck!

[@dysonspreybar4903]

Moth man?

[@joshualawson7604]

Sounds like Sasquatch tooting in his pants.

[@DaveHax]

That's awesome - love it. Now I've just got to remember where I parked my ship!

[@Nighthawkinlight]

They're sneaky buggers.

[@SafetyLucas]

NightHawkInLight 0 to British in three words...

[@ElGraveto]

i prefer the britsh guy talking, but cool video!

[@gravelydon7072]

All I have to do is find where I parked my train.;-)

[@alltime10s]

How do you come up with these ideas.. :D

[@theLuigiFan0007Productions]

HOW DID YOU GET HERE? XD I'm seeing many well known people!

[@ETxSalsa]

I just wanted to say that I really appreciate all the hard work and awesome production quality that goes into your videos. So many DIY's on youtube are almost painful to watch but yours are always informative and easy to understand. Thank you for the top quality content!

[@Nighthawkinlight]

Thanks!

[@GreekGadgetGuru]

That's pretty awesome! Simple to build!

[@FireNLightnin]

hey why are you here? get back to making awesome videos!

[@WartimeLa]

Can u make a review about laser that can burn that people all ready buy please and then make it better in some awesome was

[@res1492]

Thanks dude, my son is now driving me crazy!!!

[@RobGavagan]

I need to find a way to fit the last one into my car. I need it.

[@Nighthawkinlight]

I haven't experimented yet to see if the pipe can be coiled up with a bunch of elbow fittings for the same result, but I bet it would work!

[@reallyryan_]

That would sound epic people would be like WTF was that aha

[@TheTruthHurts732]

I was thinking about shoving one in my ass for when I fart.

[@TheSenileOldMan]

i bet you could add it to the end of your exhaust XD

[@ronaldshepke3747]

Might be able to replace the horn with the funnel and pop it out of the hood, would look badass enough.

[@MiguelAbd]

Amazing design!!! I've always wanted to make one but never actually searched how to make. Thanks for making this video!!!

[@williampollard4759]

Thank you for simplifying it for us, I’ve looked at other videos and they were making it far too sophisticated to understand the actual workings of the foghorn

[@pigsfree]

Thanks for the awesome project! For less then $5 we had a blast tonight! Keep up the great work very much appreciated!!

[@johnnyq90]

The last one sounds like Jake Brake!

[@shawn9643]

I said the same thing.

[@recordman555]

Using a 16-inch diameter pipe, 29 feet long, will produce the brown note.

[@dalegibson9172]

The brown note has been debunked, however, a horn that size would likely make you crap your pants due to the sheer volume :P

[@ratrodramblin]

@@dalegibson9172 should be called the brown pants note.

[@brettkuntze8997]

[@electronicsNmore]

Great sounding fog horn!

[@sharpshooterjd]

The martian was a great book! I read it a while ago. Cool project!

[@Nighthawkinlight]

It was really good. Destin at SmarterEveryDay told me about it. The narration in the audio book is the best I've ever heard also.

[@veiledzorba]

It was a great read - with emphasis on "read". I don't care to have others read to me - I don't see the point of "Audible"...

[@TerminvsEst]

2:33 You should sell that sound sample to a dubstep artist! Or make more of those horns with different lengths of pipes, get a few people to play those horns, and you'll have an acoustic dubstep band!

[@MeepChangeling]

+TerminvsEst Check out Blue Man Group. They are basically that exact thing.

[@miki333sp]

+TerminvsEst he sould connect it as a blow off whistle :P

[@feircefeir]

if someone made a 10 hr version of that noise i'd be happy :)

[@GREENPOWERSCIENCE]

Noce work Ben!

[@OnlyDigs]

I subscribed to you a LONG time ago when you used to make fireworks. I am happy in the direction your channel is taking though. I have learned a bunch of cool things and I am always excited to see when you post a new video.

[@Nighthawkinlight]

Thanks for keeping with me!

[@RimstarOrg]

Awesome! I wonder how you'll sneak the 10ft one into a stadium for use during a game. :)

[@gravelydon7072]

Two foot sections and a bum leg. ;-)

[@CFBeacham]

A Bose style sound box in a backpack?

[@TheTaleOfMC]

That 10 foot pvc pipe sound was epic! A couple of those on your truck would really tell people when to get going and that you mean business! Cool video man!

[@abcstardust]

Thank you for showing us how the air horn is made! And how the sound is modified!

[@SpecificLove7]

This is an awesome PVC project. What gave you the inspiration for this project?

[@Nighthawkinlight]

I saw some videos of cruise ship horns and thought it would be cool to have one.

[@thatretrocattt]

NightHawkInLight this can be for my science fair

[@jamesryan6224]

The BEST air horn video on youtube. I will make this bad boy!

[@bobvb]

I"m coming across many neat ideas for PVC. This is another I will add to my list. Thanks. Bob

[@sQWERTYFALIEN2011]

I currently use a Bicycle pump connected to and Air Horn that came with an aerosol can . The Horn they use at swim races , I just tossed out the Air Canister and Bungee Corded the Tire Pump and Horn to my handlebars and give it random Toots when I ride around my Neighborhood . But THIS is the kind of thing that would get me into ridiculous amounts of trouble ! Gonna have to build one !

[@dannyfelix7676]

I wunder why people don't like your videos your videos are like the coolest videos I ever seen. I also shared them to a lot of people.

[@DylansDIYWorkshop]

what kind of psi would that mattress pump be running at. Say if you were to use an air compressor with a regulator

[@Nighthawkinlight]

Less than 5psi

[@bradleyrodgers9725]

Hello just wanted to say i love your channel. I love science alot, when i searched "cool science" on youtube you were the first to pop up and ive watched you since 😃

[@DMHavok]

Curious, would the sound quality of the horn improve if a rubber sheet was used instead of thin plastic? For example, taking a chunk of balloon latex and using that as the diaphragm.

[@armanjalalipour9044]

Wow, so many famous you tubers commenting. Nice video! I thought it would be harder and more expensive.

[@Spinachh3]

I read The Martian a few weeks ago. It was a pretty good book.

[@AlexSh154]

I made you today and used my air compressor blow nozzle for the air supply. Thank you for making this video.

[@nomiwhittingstall287]

That was realy cool thanks for making my geekish day better

[@FelixUmbra]

Multiple air compressors all feeding into one GIANT version of this would epic.

[@keithfromny1898]

I love the sound at 2:20! Would it have the same low frequency if it is a coiled line? That way it will fit under the truck or car.

[@peteypablo1196]

@KeithFromNY - wondering if you found an answer to this question. I am wondering the same thing.

[@keithfromny1898]

Will definitely be adding this to my car. Wish I had an old 70's Land barge to put it on.

[@maxximumb]

Great video as always, and a note to your viewers, the Martian is an awesome book. Well worth buying. I originally bought the kindle version, but it's good as an audio book too. I'm looking forward to the movie they are making about it now.

[@gregorym2121]

👍🏻👍🏻 I’m going to mount a 20’ length of 4” pvc on my pipe rack and try this when I have some time. Thanks!

Yet another great one man, I'd love to see something like that on a truck.

[@DummyWhisper245]

I made a version of the large horn myself, it works. The world shall tremble before my mighty roar. No man, woman, or child will escape the sound. Also note that even the large horn does not need a pump, you can blow straight into it just fine and it'll still work.

[@jghanson25]

Incredible and simple and awesome and I love this stuff and thank you so much for being in the world

fun bicycle horn! The perfect sound tone with a couple 2 litter soda bottles for air.

[@shazizz]

That is a cool idea!

[@normandaurelle814]

Hey ! Remember my comment about science that makes what you do actually work ? Well this is the perfect example of a video that (to my humble opinion) woud require a tiny scientific explanation. I'm really interested in what's going on scientifically that makes the air blowing turn into sound waves production. Plus : your "audible" sponsor seems nice ! I'll try listening to one of the audio books, Thanks for sharing.

[@marks47]

Any recommendations for high frequencies? Like 15-20 khz? (I'm getting older, and the dog next door is barking at nothing a LOT)

[@wudchk]

That was pretty cool! Thanks for making a video.

[@meatoffender12121]

What sort of sound can you get out of this? Would it be somewhat similar to the other diy train horns? I'm not sure that the camera quite does it justice.

[@philipuren3857]

A great exercise in the acoustics of an air horn. So, extending the length of the exit pipe deepens the sound or do we need to enlarge the size of the T-Piece (horn body)? The long tube had a very warbled (deep sound) effect, would a funnel at the end smooth out the sound? How long does the diaphragm last? This looks like it doesn't need so much pressure to operate like the truck horns on the market that require a bulky (and expensive) reservoir tank. This being the 21st century where everything works at the press of a button, can I use the standard air pump from an old set of musical air horns? Might be a good project for my high school engineering class to explore

[@KDLASTER3]

i am liking this video for 2 reasons reason 1: mass effect reapers were mentioned 2: because it is actually cool

[@quadsman11]

Love this simple project ! I wonder if you couldn't create something similar to be quickly assembled for a survival situation in a backpack scaled version. Would be way more effective than the small CO² air horns !

[@CryingNeutrons]

As always great video!

[@CROIXMOIX]

It sounds like the spaceship from Close Encounters of the Third Kind! I want one of those now!

[@theginginator1488]

Can the tone be adjusted by changing the length of the barrel?

[@abrahamhieronymi]

ya man

[@debd7803]

How would a 90 degree turn effect the sound? Like if not enough room for long horn could an elbow and another section be added?

[@hans_____]

The 10ft pipe is like an unwound trombone or bass trombone. It sounds a lot like it too with the lowest note being the fundamental frequency of the pipe.

[@Overwatcher397]

awesome I want to make one for my truck in the future any suggestions on how to mount it?:-) thanks

[@TheMrByrom]

I have an old army signal horn that works just like this. It has a brass plate for the diaphragm. If too much dust gets in it, I need to clean it to make it work again. I will make a short video to show the inside of it if you want.

[@coledobner7059]

That's pretty amazing, thinking about making one to put in my boat.

[@MrMog2002]

[@yogcasthoneydew]

Two questions for you NightHawkInLight Do you use an adapter to make it ten feet and would it be louder and bassier if you used a wider tube

Just how much more pressure is needed for very deep tones? I mostly want a deep tone, not necessarily with much bass (easily boosted in DAWs). Also, how would one go about tuning it? Fine adjustments in length?
