It's interesting to see just how many different things those old mechanical sirens have inside them in order to operate. Have to wonder what's inside the box of modern electronic sirens by comparison. And that rotator is a lot louder than I'd imagine they'd be. Same for the solenoids. Guess they didn't care to make it quieter because you can't hear it over the actual siren.
An interesting video, but I have no idea what it's for, why it's there, nor what the electrical stuff in the boxes do. A bit of commentary or explanation would be good. Us Brits seldom have sirens in our back gardens. I bet your neighbours just love you! :-)
This is a siren collector who has an air raid/bomb/tornado siren purchased and set up in their backyard. Proper clearance is needed with local authorities and fire dept. to sound it. They can be heard for several miles.
The boxes are the solenoids only the 1003 variant has them, the signals the 1003 can do is alert, attack, fire, alternate wail (alt wail), and undulating hi lo the solenoids let the Thunderbolt do everything that is past attack the klaxon CS8 which is a British siren also has solenoids that make a damper open and close which is a fire signal or escape signal which is used when someone escaped a mental hospital
Also the solenoids work with something called an RCM3 which is this at 1:38 every time one of those things go in and out that one of the solenoids opening and closing which makes the hi lo sound I hope you find this helpful
@@vertoisful and actually instead of me buying the RCM could you tell me how to if I do buy the thing that makes your Thunderbolt do high low if I buy that could you help me wire it
This is so cool. Eventually I’d love to build a setup like this. Now I don’t remember fully, but since you have a gas powered blower, would that mean you technically have a Federal Thunderbolt 2003A?
@@SouthCarolinaSirens I do not have 240 to it yet. Might be moving to my own place in the next year so it’ll have a totally different set up. I don’t plan on using that radio
Just take that clip where that generator on the siren goes OOOOO EEEEEEE and the siren on and high pitch it AND THATS THE TUTORIAL HOW TO MAKE SIREN HEA-

So Cool To See This Siren Up Close!
I've seen one not that long ago I say like 2 days ago near where I live
I Don't See Thunderbolt 1003s Very Often, But I Do See A Lot Of Thunderbolt 1000Ts.
That skin on the Allertor looks really cool
Such A Cool Video!
That's one interesting looking Wisconsin engine you got there
Nice! Can't remember if you were there for SirenCon this year, but I hope to see you there next year.
i hope to go. for sure going to bring the allertor
Nice hex key jammed into the fuse slot....
Really awesome!
Thanks!

Not gonna lie it sounds better without the blower, cool
thats cool ive always wanted to see how a siren sounds like and looks like
quick question dose your thunderbolt have rhe asbestos clutch in it
Every veteran within 3 miles:
👁️👄👁️
Imagine you hiking in the forest and hear this.
I love it
The solenoids are cool
Siren......ASMR? That's what this video is.
IS THAT AN ALLERTOR?
yes and it looks cool
Nice
When did you get your thunderbolt?
What speed setting is the chopper on? Or is it just hooked up directly to 120V?
120v and i switched out the bearings with heavy grease and after I did that it’s a bit slower now. Might change it this year tho

One question have you ever used this in a tornado warning or a siren test?
Yes both
Where did u get this from

Damn this guy build a siren for a video
It's not "for a video".
I've never seen a 1003 with a gas powered blower. I assume this was one of the original blowers.
The aca allertor: bye
Modulator Tone 1 or tone 2 From the Thunderbolt 1003A 😮😮😮
The Thuderbolt can be in very useful from 1003A?
1003a means 3 phase which the blower is only 3phase
The Thunderball actually sounds like siren head when it’s on the clicky left and right thing
Thunderbolt I meant

I have a question do you have any other RCM threes laying around if so could I buy it cuz I need one for my 1003
I do

Dear god that RCM1 is a rats nest. But good walk around of your 1003!
Thanks man. Yeah it definitely could be better
@@vertoisful I assume you got 240 ran out there since youre using the rcm1 and rcm3. Also are you gonna wire the solenoids to the rcm3?
Also do you plan to use that siratrol radio? Im looking for cables and a counter.

You can change the solenoid speed? Can you do a video on the fastest speed for the solenoids?
yes you can change the speed. the one going off for tornado warning if fastest
@@vertoisful you think you could do a video of it on chopper level 1 doing Alternate Wail on 8 RPM?

why's the wind up so long? also sweet allertor paint job
