This is my home-made Thunderbolt 1000t in alert. NO BAD COMENTS! I will delete them. You can give me a sugestion that im bad but nothing insulting or hurtfull.
Yea, you should set the rotation down, but other than the it having a little bit of a sad sound to it, it's got the looks and feel of a 1000T down. Not bad.
Actually, for a chopper that small, you wouldn't need a very strong motor. All it would be driving is a centrfugal fan with caps on the ends of the blades (the parts that temporarily block the holes in the stators). It doesn't take much strength to drive a fan that small. What takes a lot of "juice" is when the chopper is 2 feet wide as in the FS STH-10.
The thing is, I only have machinery for basic wood cutting. vandamonde2 has machinery for precisely cutting metal. I know that my thunderbolt doesn't come too close to the original design but its, honestly, the best I can do with what I have. I have seen the video though.
@briefroboboy Recording. At the time, i couldn't figure out how I could make a real chopper or install one in the siren so I just used the tape recorder. I have taken it apart so I can figure out how i'm going to install a chopper inside.
@crazywarriorman The only problem with that is that the cone and the housing has a weight capacity thanks the the dinky little motor thats in it. But I might put a chopper in if I can experiment with it a little.
Holy shit that's the fastest thunderbolt I've ever seen. lol. Nice job though man. I'd stick that sucker on my roof and blast it at 2 in the morning. XD
Take a look at some home-made siren videos. Its not actually that difficult but it takes at least a week. Not to burst your bubble or anything but i siren motor has to go fast enough to make the sound perfectly loud. And it takes about 2 seconds for the motor in the tape recorder to do a full spin so it wont work. But great suggestions!
You're wrong about the tape recorder motors. You thought I was talking about the reel winder in play or record mode, huh? But they go faster in FF/rew. mode. I wasn't talking about that, though. That's geared down of course! The motor alone, though, is fast.
its not bad! but here ill give you a tip *dont make it sound like a race car* anyway make a chopper out of pvc pipes one small and one fit in the smaller, make holes then rotate it some how anyway, i like it. but the rotater is too fast.
@rnbsteenstar Im kiding lol. I cant bend the wood to give it the curve shape. I know that the real one has one its just that I cant bend wood to give it the curve.
Well, good luck... Choppers and stators are difficult for the "average Joe" adult to make--even more so for a kid. But yeah, try anyway and tell us how it went. Maybe you can use the motor from that small tape recorder (if that's what that player is--but I can't tell from the shot).
I see what choper you talking about later. And its also very complicated why so yeah. System test one and two and three I had just filmed an hour ago and as soon as this videos info. is done loading, Im gonna upload all three system tests so yeah. Actually four system tests I meant to say.
It looks a lot like an ACA Hurricane 130.
Yea, you should set the rotation down, but other than the it having a little bit of a sad sound to it, it's got the looks and feel of a 1000T down. Not bad.
No offense but the motor is a bit too fast.

That thing is epic! Really wanna build one myself now....Cool video

@TheDieselGene For the rotator, i used a 120VAC motor that is geared down to be slower.Idk how many amps it is.
I really can't hear nothing coming out
I want to know how you made that awesome looking siren!
The motor that spins it is the slowest I had and its already geared down so yeah. Thats why its nickname is the worlds fastest thunderbolt!
Darn good job for being home made! :-)
Use a motor sped controller to slow down the spin. It is too fast but great job!
I had an error on my computer so today I will upload it.
@briefroboboy The chopper I will use for it isn't installed yet. i'm still trying to figure out a couple kinks in the design
@briefroboboy Recording. At the time, i couldn't figure out how I could make a real chopper or install one in the siren so I just used the tape recorder. I have taken it apart so I can figure out how i'm going to install a chopper inside.
good job it can make noise too
Another comment, how did you make that?
That's neat
@crazywarriorman The only problem with that is that the cone and the housing has a weight capacity thanks the the dinky little motor thats in it. But I might put a chopper in if I can experiment with it a little.
Use a 15rpm gearbox motor to slow down the fast spin
Neat Job Man!...it spins abit Fast though.
Spins to fast
well all I can say ....thats just neat ,great job !!!
Holy shit that's the fastest thunderbolt I've ever seen. lol. Nice job though man. I'd stick that sucker on my roof and blast it at 2 in the morning. XD
Haha, so it has a little sound player inside it. How oddly interesting!
Dude you have to set the rotation down a bit but other then that cool siren
Take a look at some home-made siren videos. Its not actually that difficult but it takes at least a week. Not to burst your bubble or anything but i siren motor has to go fast enough to make the sound perfectly loud. And it takes about 2 seconds for the motor in the tape recorder to do a full spin so it wont work. But great suggestions!
WOW, how did you make that? All by yourself or with help?
pretty cool man
Nice
How did you make the sound
Nice work.
You're wrong about the tape recorder motors. You thought I was talking about the reel winder in play or record mode, huh? But they go faster in FF/rew. mode. I wasn't talking about that, though. That's geared down of course! The motor alone, though, is fast.
vanamonde2 made a 1/8 scale or "mini" thunderbolt 1000. I am not saying your thunderbolt is cheap, i just want you to look at his vids for help. : )
can you make it rotate slower? everything else is perfect
Awesome yall. How does it work?
You have the same band saw as me!!!
its not bad! but here ill give you a tip *dont make it sound like a race car* anyway make a chopper out of pvc pipes one small and one fit in the smaller, make holes then rotate it some how anyway, i like it. but the rotater is too fast.
nice
Y'all are freaking rude, except for those giving constructive criticism.
Anyway, slow down the rotator a bit and maybe work on the blower/ chopper.
WOW! You should buy a 200 watt police speaker and put that in there, it will be louder ill tell you that. Great job.
Not bad but the shae of the horn flutes out in a more curved shape.
thats not bad..nice job
can you make an eclipse-8
OK. good luck
@FireAlarmMan458 Oh.Are you gonna make a video on the newly installed chopper?
@rnbsteenstar Im kiding lol. I cant bend the wood to give it the curve shape. I know that the real one has one its just that I cant bend wood to give it the curve.
Well, good luck... Choppers and stators are difficult for the "average Joe" adult to make--even more so for a kid. But yeah, try anyway and tell us how it went. Maybe you can use the motor from that small tape recorder (if that's what that player is--but I can't tell from the shot).
do you want an real Thunderbolt check on craiglist or an siren Graveyard
I've heard better sound but good job on the design!
i think it is fast but how did you make it turn it is cool i made one but it dosent turn
Around 15 RPM lol. Definatly beats the record of the worlds fastest thunderbolt lol.
@rnbsteenstar Im still working on that.
is that a recording of a siren, or an actual blower/chopper?
U r so cute :)
Im gonna make a choper for it soon.
@rnbsteenstar Does it look like I'm some kind of magic man?
Watch my other Thunderbolt videos to find out.
Scary
Small rotator motor melded onto the cone unit.
I woul suggest "if u can" make the rotator slower but anyways I couldn't do any better
It spins around 3 whole times every 6 seconds.
not bad.
I see what choper you talking about later. And its also very complicated why so yeah. System test one and two and three I had just filmed an hour ago and as soon as this videos info. is done loading, Im gonna upload all three system tests so yeah. Actually four system tests I meant to say.
Nah dont wry about it. It just takes a little practice thats all. At least that and 3 weeks of hard work.
It actually looks real!
@FireAlarmMan458 Oh, nonononono, I didn't say that you were. I was only trying to help you out.
I dont have a slower motor and I wont because its fastness is its trademark :)
That thing is big
I made it but i had a little help with my dad.
@Thunderbolt1000Tfan p.s. That's 1 spin every 2 seconds.
@FireAlarmMan458 Ah, I c. But you could do it with copper.
@usernameABCDXYZ ...and you watched it.
Did you use a root blower from a car engine?
This is what you call a Nightcore version of the thunderbolt awesome job!!
Do you mean a real thunderbolt schematic or my/this peticular thunderbolt?
Yeah it's a BIG siren
you need to slow it down just a bit
ITS GOING WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
22 rpm lol [i counted]
yeah but not strong enough
what that
Dude don't say that lucky u can actually make that I can't even make a stick
Wood.
It spins to fast
I am Ethan King of Minecraft too*
