Woo hoo, another siren enthusiast. I love the idea of using sirens to start off the new year. I hope to get a siren too. Preferably a thunderbolt or allertor.
i was actually surprised to learn that people actually collect tornado/air raid sirens as a hobby. an as a fellow siren enthusiest i have now turned green with envy
Nicest kid to warn veterans in the area about it Could you imagine the potential ptsd episode that siren mixed with fireworks couldve caused? Haha great kid❤🎉
Great! Me and my son did something on a much smaller scale, seeking out and finding the Broadmoor Sirens here in the UK. I managed to examine one that was being removed (see my videos) but never managed to get hold of one like Magna did.
Hopefully he can raise some funds to have it pole mounted and it can be used to alert residents of danger instead of just being used as a novelty on New Year’s Eve.
We shouldn't be replacing the sirens with the electronic and text messaging warnings. We should be holding on to both systems as a fail safe in case one the systems malfunctions. IF IT AIN'T BROKE DON'T FIX IT!
How fun! Needs to raise above the ground so more air can be drawn in the bottom and create stronger shock waves (sound). At precisely 00:00:00 New Year's Day I sounded my siren connected to 220 Volts.
on the fire station where my uncle works they're one of those. It goes off whenever there's a fire so the volunteers know. on poles in his neighbor hood there's rocket-shaped air raid sirens on poles, spread out with stenciled numbers from the 50's.
It’s on the ground. That one would be on a pole probably therefore the sound can’t Cary as far with all the houses and obstructions in the way of the path of sound travel
i never really got siren collectors. its a cool hobby and i love air raid sirens, but owning some seems a bit much, especially because using them is illegal.
@@sirensandrailroadsofoklahoma it just seems impractical to have a house full of rusted out sirens you "found" on a telephone pole and sound them off and piss of the neighbors
You gotta be kidding me saying that those people didn't hear it because an air raid siren is an extremely Loud thing and you most certainly will hear them especially at night they give a deafening scream when operating. All of those people must be deaf since they claim that they couldn't hear it.
What actually really makes the difference on a siren, is the elevation. With that being at ground level, you're not likely to really at all hear it too well on a noisy night like New Years. Back when I lived in NC, I had two fire stations equidistant to me. Same STH-10 Three Phase siren on each, 74 had theirs mounted pretty low, where as 41 has theirs up a LOT higher. Ridiculously high. Never could hear 74, but always could hear 41 for miles.
