Millhousen, IN Federal 3T22 Siren Test 3-21-17

Millhousen, IN: Sirens across the state of Indiana wailed Tuesday to mark Severe Weather Awareness Week. Two mock tornado drills were held, one in the morning and one in the evening, to better prepare citizens for treacherous weather. This siren is located at the fire department in the small village of Millhousen in Decatur County. Mounted low to the ground, this 3T22 is a three-phase siren running off a phase converter. We were meet at the station by the fire chief who happily activated the siren for us, as a firefighter would have to do in a real weather emergency as this siren is not remotely activated. The chief also informed us that the siren is tested at fire department meetings during the warm months. Footage in the video was taken both from a tripod mounted camera, as well as a Phantom 3 Drone. Enjoy!

3:30 for siren

[@TheTechnologymachinery]

the wind up reminds me of a Broadmoor siren running up in ALL CLEAR mode

[@alexandergrube6437]

the Klaxons are essentially horizontal 3T22s

[@hallodanke-]

Oh the old sirens got removed *only some*

[@nws_of_cushing_ok7188]

True

[@huntergibson2304]

Sounds really nice, when it started up it kinda reminded me of the THX beginning

WHY IS IT MOUNTED SO LOW!!!!???

AllertorBoy cuz it can be.

@Mr. Thunderbolt xD

[@WarningSirensOfUpstateNY]

You think that's low mounted? Check out how low this STH-10 was mounted! kzbin.info/www/bejne/apWsdpWCp7qYpdU

[@brendangranger3684]

@lol lol yeah I've seen that. Completely ridiculous they couldn't put it on a pole or something. It's hilarious at the same time lol

[@hallodanke-]

@lol lol also it looks like there was a intercepting pole on top of it

[@facingthewind]

Love the drone! That was fun

[@Sipex6484]

Man. What a tall mount pole.

[@willthetrill4849]

That siren sounds healthy. May need a better phase converter for more punch and faster wind up

[@rotaryrevor4756]

Will Butter slower wind up is better

[@doggo3354]

@@rotaryrevor4756 it doesn’t get that loud, reducing range, and hurting the siren’s purpose altogether

[@TheMatsushitaMan]

3:30 Motor brake?

[@SirenArchives]

I don't know either. Sounds like a capacitor charged off of the motor a little too late.

[@pennsy77]

its 3 phase, so i dont think that’s how it works. i think the motor restarting ended up stopping the chopper so the axle could catch.

[@Joethaboss66]

It was the phase converter most likely doing DC braking.

[@TheMatsushitaMan]

@@Joethaboss66 I see

[@Devo57]

Really nice sounding siren. Sounds a lot like the famous Carters from WWII.

My God, that wind up is great.

Did You Do This With 4j25?

[@derekwall200]

well up too 100 feet they output 113 decibels, but i do not know how loud they are up close

[@J19_vlogger74]

From my meter, standing directly under the pole while the siren is at full speed will make about 127 dBA, so this may be in the high 130's to the low to mid 140's. But I have no idea.

[@New-England-sirens-productions]

When it winds down then activates again it stops spinning to start up again

[@SeeK_]

What was the voice it's an air raid

[@TheJakeman789]

That thing can't be very useful and heard very far being that low to the ground.

[@marylandsirensfirebuff9664]

I have a question. How come you always make negative comments on peoples videos?

[@gian3248]

Because he's a nasty little twit who only focuses on the bad. Pity.

[@ryancrooks123]

It Winds up really Slow Like CLM Sirens

[@thattechdude]

Very slow windup, interesting color, needs a better phase converter for a better wind up. but it still sounds good with the slow wind up though. Grea video!

[@northwesternohiorailfan5622]

i love the sound can you return to mt vernon ohio for a retake of the fs thunderbolt ?

[@james_fisch]

Is that still standing and in operation? I might make a trip out there myself if it is. I don't live far from it.

[@northwesternohiorailfan5622]

Joe F Thank You

[@james_fisch]

I'll only go out if it's still operational though, and I probably wouldn't get around to recording it for a while. I rarely have the time lol

[@northwesternohiorailfan5622]

Ok

[@northdakotasirens1520]

Must be on low volts for wind up like that

It wouldn’t get to the full sound

Is it a test or is it a tornado warning

[@pennsy77]

“SWA”

[@Devo57]

It’s both basically. A test of the tornado warning procedures with EAS and siren systems

[@vortexgirl7317]

Sounds like chorus but guess what this is a new siren name Carter Carter is a quite wind up siren but he takes too long but takes 30 minutes but she tags along with the people that who runs and everything ain't that right Carter🥰💟
