Another Cyclone on the other side of town. Located on Plum Creek Dr. in NW Amarillo, TX. KDK wanted me to video another Cyclone as they are his favorites. This 50 hp monster really packs a punch. I was a bit to close. My ears were ringing for a long time afterwards. If you like really long wind downs, then this one's for you. It goes on and on. Enjoy. *** As of November 2021 this siren is no longer there.

I remember a few years back when i actually had the chance to go to the ASC Factory in Milwaukee, honestly to see a cyclone up close is crazy! That actually let me spin one up in the test chamber, they really do have the best tours there and the guy who toured my dad and i through was very nice about it and i still have the lunch bag that he gave us with alot of other different trinkets and informationals in it, definitely was an amazing tour!

@Ijustlovetornadosirens 3 месяца назад

Is this aca cyclone 125 or 120?

@kdksiren 3 месяца назад

125 dB. These have the 50 HP motor. Quite the attention getter. Sad they are no longer made or the City of Amarillo has anymore. They have all been replaced.

@Texas_siren_fan125 Месяц назад

@kdksiren the way you can tell the difference in 125 and 120 is in the wattage? And also look at the design difference the Cyclone 120 has a flatter hat then the cyclone 125 the 125 has a much more pointier hat then the cyclone 120 Also KDKsiren nice cyclone video it's a shame! That they took out all there old sirens!

@Bonemeal2 14 лет назад

@kdksiren I did NOT know that! Knowledge is POWER! Interesting. They took the rotating chopper from the Tempest/Penetrator, and made it into an omni! Quite resourceful. Now, I see the connection when you mentioned the 50hp motor. I had been thinking, "gee, that's the same horsepower of a Tempest-135/Penetrator-50

@MarcusToroian 15 лет назад

You know that the P50/T-135 is this siren mounted horizontally inside a massive projector, right?

@kdksiren 16 лет назад

These are KDK's favorite too! There are several of them here. The ASC website still shows they make them. The sound really travels along way. Thanks!

@kdksiren 16 лет назад

From what I understand, they use the same motor and rotor. Just an omni-directional version that isn't as loud. The T-135 has a vertical mount and projector with rotator and the Cyclone is horizontal that doesn't rotate. I looked at the ASC website and they still make them.

@Busdude97 14 лет назад

Nice ! That thing takes a long time for the choper to slow down. Near the end of the vid when the choper is slowing down it sounds like a detroit diesel 8v92 reving really high! Nice siren yall!

@LNERMallard 15 лет назад

Do p-50s utilize the same chopper as this?

@kdksiren 13 лет назад

@birdluver184858 Do you know what type sirens they are? How often do they test? Thanks!

@UmbreWolf 12 лет назад

I know they use the same motor but I wasnt sure about the stator. So you could therorectily replace the chopper on a p-50 using the one from a cyclone? I ask this because thats what sparked the question. A friend in TN wants to know if he could salvage the chopper for a p-50 from cyclone that has a blown phase on it. would save him a lot of money by what he told me.

@Bonemeal2 14 лет назад

Incredible wind-down time. What's really interesting is how much it sounds like the Tempest-135. @kdksiren BTW, with all the sirens you mentioned having around there, any chance you might have a Sparton?

@luigikoopa8771 2 года назад

The chopper is the same in the T-135/P-50

@carexpertandy 16 лет назад

No, these are not louder than thunderbolts. These are 125 dBc, while thunderbolts are 125-128 dBc.

@PlatinumEagleStudios 11 лет назад

Oh. Wanna know what I hate?? The "new" design of the ASC T-135. I hate it so much it isn't even as loud as the previous model. It looks exectly like the T-128 siren. Is this thing still there?? Or did it get replaced??

@hunterneitzel3012 4 года назад

@framptone25 12 лет назад

I live here in Amarillo and sometimes I can hear them and sometimes I can't. Man, I love way they sound!!!

@kdksiren 11 лет назад

They both use the same motor/ Chopper/ Stator assembly. The Cyclone is mounted verticle and is omni-directional. The P-50 is mounted verticle and rotates. It uses the horn assembly to project the sound and is thus somewhat louder.

@Tigers9596 11 лет назад

How loud is the sentry? If its under 130db. Then the fs 2001 is louder!

@PGMEagle 16 лет назад

These sirens do pack a punch. I live within 10 miles of the Three Mile Island EPZ. And one the fire companys uses it for fire calls. It sounds 4 times about 35 sec cycles. And I live about 8 miles from it but can still here it loud and clear at 1:30 am.

@FBHSswimmer2006 16 лет назад

very nice vid. i was wondering, is the cyclones a dual tone siren? it looks like it is but i could be wrong.

@MarcusDiazWX 14 лет назад

Im from Hereford, just down the highway. The entire city has these sirens. Man, hearing these things all over town makes your heart skip. BTW, I'm a tornado chaser from Amarillo. They tested them today, and made me wish April was here to chase again!

@jo3k1ck455 5 месяцев назад

Hey! Very late reply here but I'm from Hereford too! Kinda nostalgic to listen to these sirens. We lived about 5 miles out of town and when I was growing up there was a tornado warning and I remember being able to hear the sirens among the sounds of thunder that night.

@kdksiren 16 лет назад

The EMS director says that there is not a P-50/ T135 on the system. We have seen the photo on the siren archive site too. The director says it is mis-labled on the location. I wish there was one as we have have never seen one in person. They test them here on the last friday of the month at 11:30 AM for 90 seconds. KDK (my 10 year old son) got to turn them all on last year. There are 88 of them according to the EMS director.

@michelinman8592 13 лет назад

@JJP_SirenProductions06 3 года назад

This siren sounds exactly like a P-50.

@johndeerefan725 2 года назад

Because it has the same chopper as the P-50, the P-50 is basically the rotating version of the Cyclone.

@MrEd30 16 лет назад

Nice KD! Great job! Do they test these in "attack" mode? If so, can you record it? Keep adding more of these non the less!

@kdksiren 16 лет назад

Thanks. KDK wants another SD-10. There is also a Modulator we may shoot too.

@kdksiren 14 лет назад

@Bonemeal2 The T135 (P-50) is really the same as a Cyclone. You probably know this but the chopper is set horizontal on the Cyclone and is vertical on the P-50. The P-50 is louder due to the horn or can that projects the sound. They sound awesome!! As for a Sparton, no we don't have one around here. Thanks!!!

@kdksiren 11 лет назад

This type has a 50 hp motor and its heavy duty. Probably would run for a long time with no damage. One stuck on in Hereford when we lived there years ago. It was on for over an hour and didn't seem to hurt it. Generally they don't run them for more that 5 minutes at a time and then allowed to cool off before re-activation.

@weasel2htm 15 лет назад

My elementary school had a 2T22 across the street from the playground, when I say across the street, I mean a small side street. They always tested that thing during recess. LOUD!!!!! They have replaced all the vintage sirens with 2001s I don't know if that siren location was reused or not, I hope not.

@kdksiren 16 лет назад

According to the ASC website they still make them, or at least sell them. I think most places are opting for sirens like the T-135 and the FS 2001's as they have a battery backup. To bad batteries can't power these. They last forever. There is no beating the distinctive sound that Cyclone's and the old P-50's/ T-135 produce. Thanks for the comments!

There are some Federal Modulators here too, so for something different, will probably do that one next time even though they are kinda boring. Thanks! KDK

@UmbreWolf 12 лет назад

You may be right but I can't confirm about the chopper. But the cyclone does infact use the same 50hp motor as the Penetrator 50. It would not surprise me if they did such as it was manufactured by the same corperation ACA (Now ASC)

sirenfan97 yes yes yes long with the cyclone! It's Jack to see if he's really really really awesome sirens getting replaced. In New Jersey we still have about three 125s close to me. I can hear them for a test at my house. We do not have tornado sirens, they are just hurricane sirens and civil defense sirens. If you look at the original video from the 80s when these first came out they were advertising them on the video and mentioned that New Jersey and 3 mile Island in Pennsylvania bought some. However, pretty much all of the cyclones Band cheese and P 50s on three-mile Island were replaced with T1 21's and T128's. that was only because they could not get the sirens to have battery back up. That's a stupid reason to get rid of such great sirens. There are still a few around on three-mile Island, but most are replaced. If you are confused I do not live in three-mile Island I live in New Jersey like I said before were thereare about three cyclone 125's by my house.

@camommyofthree We had relatives from AZ come to stay with us a few years ago. The city did the monthly test and scared them to death with that. We were all gone and they were at our house alone. They thought a tornado was coming. Sunny day, no wind, just a test, but did we ever hear about that. Yes, at night with lightning, thunder, hail and then the sirens, well that is attention getter. Happens all to much in this part of the country as well. Thanks for the note!

the 2001 is louder then the thunderbolt. but that doesn't matter because the thunderbolts tone carries further and you can actually hear the low end on the attack signal. on a 2001 you can't. truthfully the only real benefit a 2001 has over the thunderbolt is the battery back up and they don't have a bad tone. (like a modulator or electronic siren...)

But the ones left should be around for a very long time.
