    Wanna make it louder? Make or buy a blower, even a shop vac and force it into the intake making positive pressure, aka "supercharging the siren" this is the method of the Federal Signal Thunderbolt and ACA Hurricane

      Bradley Brand That wouldn't generate near the same sound pressure. Blowers such as those generate over 250 CFM of airflow at over 9-10PSI. Uncompressed free air wouldn't work that way with your truck.

  • @JimGriffOne
    @JimGriffOne 9 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    In order to make it louder, you need to match the acoustic impedance of air. You can do this by adding horns that convert the low impedance output of the siren to the high impedance of the air. Once matched, the power transfer to the air will be far more efficient and that 1.2kW will be absolutely deafening!

      G3RMANARMY
      1200W is equivalent to the sound of a medium DJ system, but those have to produce a lot of bass frequencies. If it were putting all of that energy into two sounds which contain most of their energy in the middle of the audio spectrum for human hearing where it is most sensitive, then it would sound orders of magnitude louder!

    The audio is omni-directional coming out. If you put some kind of horn to help make it uni-directional you'll get a lot louder of a sound. Thats why air raids have horns, to direct all of the sound in one direction at the same time helping amplify it.

  • @ImperialistRunningDo

      He tells you to turn it up so you can hear him talk, then turn it down before he switches the alarm on. I don't see how it's a trap if he's in a small space with a loud machine and puts on ear safety equipment, saying "Okay, here we go."

  • @EarlyMonAF
    @EarlyMonAF 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    You may be able to amplify it by turning it into a compression driver. Enclose it with a forward facing aperture - located in the center in line with the motor shaft is fine - and then make a simple box horn to act as a megaphone. You're only interested in volume, not fidelity, so no need to muck about with flaring or anything fancy for a first pass. A compression driver has a smaller opening that the actual driver (hence the compression) so the aperture having less area than the total area of the open slots at any time ought to provide the desired results. Really loved the videos on this, many thanks, very inspiring!

      Him putting up ear protection was somewhat of a give-away that it might not be very clever to turn up your volume to listen to this. After all, an air raid siren was designed to be bloody loud. You were supposed to hear it from quite the distance away, because you know, air raid and all that.

      just "no"? can you please explain to me how yours is different, in essence, from these horns?

      now, don't get me wrong. the fact you built this by hand and with wood is very impressive indeed. i'm not trying to take away from that. just wanna know the difference between yours and a klaxon.

      ***** The siren your link leads to is a Klaxon brand Siren. Confusing, possibly, but both are sirens, and not klaxons. A klaxon uses an electromagnetically oscillating plate to create its sound, I believe

      Jim H ***** Original Klaxon-brand sirens used a steel diaphragm struck by the teeth of a spinning cog. They also used horns for better impedance matching. They are known for producing that "ah-oog-ah" sound you hear in old submarine films.

    If you were to cut a "Doughnut" shape from a a piece of 3/8" thick steel and attach it to the face of your impeller, the siren would wind up and down more slowly when energized and de-energized making for a more even sound. Great video!!

  • @steadfast4159
    @steadfast4159 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    You have the right concept in the design, but can you get the rotor closer to the chopper radius (the dual tone rings on the outside of the unit?) If so, you will be able to maximize the output of the siren. The tones are very good and have a good harmony. Last thing I would do would be to use a 3/4-1 HP step up 220V electric motor for the driver. I notice that when it winds down it is bogging a little bit. Imagine building a siren exactly like this design only have it be 2.25 times larger. You would be able to hear that close to a mile away. The key elements are:1) Closeness of rotor fit to the chopper radius internally;2) Use a 220/240V Electric step-up motor. (Sounds like you are using a 110-115V STD. Motor now. 3) Be sure that you use good roller bearings for proper support and levelness. Beings you are using wood, you need not worry about weight problems and that will help the motor that you use to kick it up faster. Some of that bogging you had there I think might be from those bearings as they may have heavy duty bearing grease in them and looks like it was cold outside then. That would tend to thicken those bearings grease and by not having a strong enough motor, you may get that bogging. Good job and good luck!

  • @TheAttacker732
    @TheAttacker732 9 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    The simplest way to make it louder would be an amplifier cone, or something similar. Beyond that, scaling it up might be the next simplest. MIGHT.
    Either way, amazing proof of concept. And useful, somehow. Probably. Maybe.

    If you want to make it louder, just build a cone like shape for where the sound comes out. It's all about the cone shape as well. You know the hand held speaker the camp councilors always used at camp to talk to everyone outside? That's what you want to use to make it louder.

    i have that air raid siren its on a switch and just to make it not so loud, the air raid siren itself has a switch to change the rpm. I have it on 750 rpm so its loud enough (about 100 dB from 5 meters away from it) So i use the siren to tell my FAMILY WHEN ITS LUNCH TIME OR SOMETHING OTHER BECAUSE THEY ARE ADOUND THE HOUSE EVERYWHERE.

    Really cool!
    The "audio AGC" at the end is just distorsion because the camera cannot handle the sound level - it cuts the sound wave form right off when the maximum signal level handled by the microphone/preamp is exceeded (wich is also why the sound quality is poor)
    But - nice that your camera do have adjustable recording level on the built in microphones (as most cameras dont have that ether) - this shows much better how loud that thing really is, as well as the 100 m test - awesome!
