Thunderbolt 1000X update video 2

The progress on the mini thunderbolt has been slow going but it’s 90% done! With the blower finalized, I pretty much just have to sort out the various controls and delays to get the siren functioning in the exact manner I want it too. Some engineering sacrifices had to be made, as they usually have to when modeling the more complex sirens; but I don’t believe that has resulted in any negative effects to the sirens overall performance.
SPECIAL THANKS TO: snowcube - for the interesting port ratio idea which definitely resulted in one of the most interesting sounding thunderbolt I think thus far! Check out his channel for more siren content!

this is literally revolutionary... i've never seen any level of detail or sound quality in a mini siren

That second "chopper" for the blower is a really neat and ingenious concept.

WOW! this is honestly one of the best sounding mini sirens I've ever heard! great job!

[@mhz-yn9gh]

I would *love* to hire you to build me a Thunderbolt, Connor. Can’t wait for when you’re ready to produce them!!

[@wigwagstudios2474]

3/5, neat! Hoping for a 4/6 sometime :D

[@VirtualSimulations-Sirens1954B]

That second sound sounded like a 4/5 Port Thunderbolt if Federal was making prototypes before releasing the 4/5 Port Variants

[@SirensAndAlarmsOfNorthernIL]

The 6M pulse is absolutely amazing, and it even sounded like a real 6M Thunderbolt when it was running

[@kansasclocksandsirens]

I have another port idea. 5/8

[@rileyduarte6752]

The quality of your newer models is crazy. The thunderbolt and Chrysler are looking great

[@connorcruz6249]

Lol I can definitely say my skill has improved quite a bit from where I started at boyo

[@stormandrailfan96]

I love the progress you’ve made with the X! Looking and sounding amazing!

[@Siren-experiments]

Jolly good show!, for a mini Thunderbolt it packs a punch. The 3/5 rotor is half the ports of the 6/10 Decot prototype siren. If you were to make 2/3, 3/4 rotors would sound good to being the lowest number of port combos which make the 8/12 perfect 5th & 9/12 perfect 4th sounds & a 6/7 rotor for a mechanical ACA AL4000 sound. 4/8 would make an octave like in Sentry sirens. 5/8 would make a minor 6th interval like heard in the 10/16 Decot Red Arrows.

[@superSD38]

Glad to see progress on it! Hope to buy one in the future

[@lukep4339]

this looks great! I reccomend a long horn tho, but other than that, perfect!

[@theray2009]

Awesome work , I liked it better 4/5 because those are the only thunderbolts I care for but still great work

[@BRISTOLFORCE2009]

Can you do 4/6

[@WarningSirensOfUpstateNY]

Please let me know the moment you release it! Also, are you thinking about making attack timers and controllers for these?

[@SirenArchives]

It'd be real interesting to hear what a 4/6 port chopper would sound like.

[@VirtualSimulations-Sirens1954B]

Basically the same as a P-50 but with fewer ports. Instead of 8/12 Port it’s cut in half to 4/6 Port.

[@tornadof25]

I got the mssg abt this while recording my city’s Medic Responding to a medical emergency call but the 1000X is looking quite nice so far too

[@iatif1995]

You should sell these masterpieces

[@novawarningsirens]

DUDE this is fricking sick!

[@grovecitysirens_GCS]

7/12 rotor and a 8/10 port

[@Engineer_Anton]

Ever Though about selling the thunderbolts but now as products? Just asking? Probably I know it would be hard! With blower and that type of stuff! But I hope one day you can!

[@tinygaragepowersports0122]

I want one....can't wait to see how you do.

[@radiosnmore1225]

when will you be listing more sirens on your etsy page?

[@9_12Port3T2I]

This is pretty damn impressive, love the work on it! I do have one tip though, I think you should try and make the horn just a little bit longer. Other than that I think it's amazing and I love the way it functions and sounds!

[@raventool8786]

that is so cool btw when are you going to restock the sirens

[@julenerichhart2427]

Hey Connor, I was just wondering if you could make me a ACA hurricane siren with solenoids

[@cathyvolpe2987]

I ❤ Aca hurricanes

[@I_also_like_sirens_hehe]

That will be awesome

[@northdakotasirens1520]

I love it! By the way I have to ask how often do you restock on average (not being rude or anything just a general question) because I’ve been interested on your creations recently.

[@t2cm2a7]

Make a 10/12 port chopper for it! I kinda wonder what it would sound like.

[@VirtualSimulations-Sirens1954B]

10/12 Port would ironically be the same sound as the 5/6 Port just more chopper ports. Look at the 2T22 for example.

[@montanasirentrainproductio9912]

Jesus dude these models you make are amazing! I do however notice the horn seems a tad too small compared to the rest of the siren. Great work man, I'll definitely have to invest in ur models one day lol!

[@TheChachLINY]

Are solenoids in the future a possibility?

[@therealmitch-a-palooza7262]

Very cool. Have you thought about scaling things up a bit to get more sound pressure out of it?

[@connorcruz6249]

Eventually when I get a larger printer I'll be working on making my models MUCH bigger than I currently do. But for right now my models are made for those who don't have the space or neighbors for anything bigger

[@gulliverarchives9529]

And just think Connor, this awesome model is just the beginning! (I think ya know what I'm talking about) ;) also, is it just me or at the 9:18 mark I hear a... dare I say...echo?!

[@spanishFriedEggsOnYoutube]

Are you going to be selling this model of siren?

[@christinelamkin7892]

I would like a 4/5 choper

[@SportyTrainGuy]

This is pretty awesome! I wish I had the equipment and knowledge of building a thunderbolt. I'm looking forward to more videos like these! If you do have a chance to build multiple, do you think you can do an ambience video?

[@gabrielstudios1265]

Are you going to add in a time delay relay?

[@Sirens-of-gp]

Challenge: make a coded p 15 siren

[@jamesmoore5572]

You should make an p-15 or p-50 or 10v2t

[@NS-Sirens]

i wish i could print this or buy it

[@ILLINOISSIRENFAN]

Hey I’m silent65gaming don’t know if you will remember me I see that you use speed controller and was wondering what speed controllers you use?

Nice I'm trying to make a full sized thunderbolt 1000t siren

Good luck with that.
