I was thinking the same thing
Can you make a top that sounds like a air raid siren
kwalski analysis
@LoneFalcon a bigger one could be made like those spinning tops which stay in place, with an outer stator mounted on bearings.
I don't think its possible because the top would be spinning fast and you would need it to be slow smooth loud then quite then back to loud, maybe they could do it but it would be going from loud to quite really fast.
@@professored7169 as you're launching it it spins faster then decreases as it slows down.
@@satibel I know. A bigger one would have more mass so it would spin a lot longer, and I'm talking about the sound, it would be impossible for it to smoothly transition from a higher pitch to a lower pitch then back to a high pitch again.
Give a fish to a man and he'll eat one time, give a fish to an engineer and he will replicate the fish and print a ton of them until they swim
Sadly no engineer has ever created any swimming vehicle that comes close to the complexity of a fish :/
There are still some more fish needed to be given to engineers until they replicate fish.
I get it. It's a joke because fish eat plastic. Good thing we have PLA
I like how you're saying engineers cannot be men.

so small, so loud for so long... an apt description of most children!!
lol Its not physics.. its chemistry.. too much sugar.
@@iteerrex8166 sugar doesn't actually cause hyperactivity. For that to happen, people would go apeshit every time they eat anything and everything. The hyperactivity is most likely caused by the excitement of eating sugar, which is usually highly regulated and thus "rare" for children. The same principle would apply to adults getting a large raise to their paycheck, something that is usually highly regulated.
@@PunakiviAddikti I'm a noob at bio-chem, so no argument here.
MrRedstone pretty sure the sugar does make people more energized and if you ever had carbs like cereal or bread when you’re tired and hungry it gives you energy
Potato Servant the “energy” you feel isn’t the same energy that runs your body. In fact, I’m sure to a certain degree you know this too, if you have too much sugar in your blood (aka your pancreas isn’t producing enough insulin to keep blood sugar at a certain level), you are diabetic. Syndromes diabetes, aka too-much-sugar disease, are quite the opposite of being “energetic”. The “energised” feeling you have is merely your brain producing dopamine when eating food.

Should do a MyMiniFactory Design Competition.

Use a double spinner system. 1 heavy spinning disk powering a small turbine, then the spinning top as well...
Ooh that would be intense!
@@MakersMuse Could possibly use the twisted rod, as the spinning top toy does, but to power an internal spinner, then spin the main disk?
Man, you should download an audio spectrograph so you can see what the heck you are hearing.
There's one for android called spectroid and it works well, i think
I have tested it with a frequenzy generator and it is has an acuracy of ~1-2 Hz
Now, make a screaming Beyblade, and market it to the manufacturers. Kids will love it, parents will hate it.
the whole point of toys is for parents to hate them right?

I am Vanessa Golston from Toledo, Ohio and this is my Favorite Scientific Video. I grew up playing with my Favorite Toy, a Red, Blue,Green and Yellow Large Tin Humming, Spinning Top. I am from the late 1950's and was addicted to the SOUND of the TIN TOP after I pushed the handle up and down to pump up the speed. The SPEED, SPINNING and SOUND was a HUMMING that actually SINGS a SONG at a VERY HIGH SPEED and maintains that HIGH FREQUENCY for as long as I kept the handle pumped. I would listen to this at least 1 hour every day when playing on a HARDWOOD FLOOR. This is a soothing sound to me and caused me to FEEL EUPHORIA. I know it stimulated my brain and I felt pleasure from this HIGH PITCHED HUMMING. I had a lot of scientific toys, but this was by far THE BEST TOY I EVER OWNED. MY TIN TOP THAT SANG. THE SECOND BEST TOY WAS MY TRAIN SET THAT CONVERTED WATER INTO STEAM AND THE BLOWING WHISTLE COMBINED WITH STEAM STREAMING OUT OF THE WHISTLE.

Kind of want to see a 3D printed Aztec Death Whistle now.
So you watch jre too?
Probably is one already. I need one.
Lovely investigative experiment! Helmholtz resonance is formed by two mechanisms 1) The air in the neck (like neck of a bottle) which acts as a mass. 2) Air in the chamber (like body of a bottle) which acts as a spring. When air moves over the mouth of such a resonator (like blowing over a bottle) the mass in the neck is excited and bounces at a specific speed on the air spring in the chamber. Just like va pendulum it operates at a very defined timing (pitch / frequency).
You can control the pitch (frequency) of the whistle by adjusting the chamber volume as well as the neck length and diameter.
As I mentioned, the system resonates at specific speed / pitch and multiples of that. This is why you heard two distinct tones as the top slowed down, and they appeared to be an octave (1/2 pitch) apart.
I recommend designing a top with a straight narrow neck (not filleted) opening to a large chamber abruptly. You might even try a ridge on the outside of the top to cause turbulence over the opening.
Feel free to get in touch if you want some in depth discussion on acoustics Angus.
I'm sad, I edited the post to remove a typo and The Great Angus's like disappeared automagically :(
Great extra info. Tnx
The first thing I thought when seeing your cross sections was "where is the air inlet?" If you are going to use centripetal force to force the air out and thus make a whistling noise, you need some kind of hole on the top to let air in. Old-fashioned air raid horns work that way too and they are really loud. I think your tin top works in a similar way as I saw that the screw knob doesn't fall in entirely and might function as an air inlet. Anyway, just my 2 cents.
Would it work as a centrifugal fan if the entire body were spinning at the same speed?
Actually, the tin top has the intake at the bottom, and pulls air over some reeds. You can even see them from the bottom of the tin top.
Imagine if a referee uses this in a game.
Opponent: "gets a point"
Referee: let it rip!!!
Your final one sounds like the cartoon falling or bomb drop
for cartoons what they actually use is called a shepard tone, which has an auditory illusion that its always getting deeper/higher when infact its just repeating over and over again

I had that exact spinning top you ordered when i was a kid.
Awesome vid, loved learning about the tops, pretty cool how they made similar ones a thousand years ago
Oh that's adorable! I love the sound!
Always wanted to put some special whistling 3D printed weapon blade hub in a battlebot. Of course you have a video on it! Loving it
Some tornado and bombing sirens are a spinning thing, wonder if using that design might be louder.
A siren of that construction needs their fixed outer ring to get that loud unfortunately
Plus, turbine sirens (the kind people think of when they hear the term "air raid siren") often use two turbines tuned slightly differently to get that dissonant, startling "find shelter NOW" sound that everyone recognizes. In fact, I wonder if one could make a whistling top with two differently-sized inlets to get that effect. With the proper tuning, you could even play chords :D
@@yetanother9127 Just wanted to get some ideas flowing, guess it worked :)
Honestly, I think there already is one on Thingyverse
Nope - those sirens are close to as efficient as you can get.
Now you just have to make a screaming fidget spinner and TH-cam will be yours for the taking.

Sorry for being late to the party, but the bamboo whistling spinning tops was a traditional toy in my country (dad has it when he was a kid so 1950s) and the design is quite simple. Pick a bamboo that's hollow inside and make a rectangle hole and that's it. The sound is humming and loud as it is so it's a fun toy to play with. Great job for making it with 3D printer!
As I understand it, cold war air raid sirens worked on a similar principle, but instead of one hollow chamber, they used an impeller shape. They would also have two impellers tuned slightly differently to get that signature sound. It would be really interesting to see that design applied here, and make a top that sounds like an air raid siren.
I always learn so much from your videos, this was really interesting!
Polyalchemy has come a long way with more excellent filament choices. But you stood tall with their best color by far!
This was epic, I'd never seen your videos but now I'm a subscriber.

Can you improve the “screaming skull” whistle? Make it more “scary”. Make it louder. Make it more “ghostly”.
Multiple chambers with different tones.
Don't tops spin backwards in australia like toilet flushes?

Well, you've got me hooked now. I created my own spinner from scratch (3 versions so far, actually) and I can't get it to whistle. It spins great, just no sound. I feel so lame realizing that "primitives" created perfect spinners from gourds, and I'm struggling with all my modern tech. Oh well, back to the drawing board....
Me too. I had another video idea
Post the design, I could see why it’s not working.

Thank you for the video. Top stuff as always.
Spoom o.O LOL WHY HASNT THIS BEEN NOTICED
Nobody:
Tormented souls of the damned: ahhhhhhhhhhh!
Sweet, sweet souls..
Your tin humming top toy may be different than mine, but as far as I know, those toys don't actually use Helmholtz resonance. In the base of the top, there should be some metal reeds. These make the tone. As for the airflow, it's rather interesting. On mine for instance, if you plug up all the holes on the top perimeter of the top except one and blow into it, nothing will happen. But if you suck air out of the hole, the reed begins to make sound. The holes form a rudimentary centrifugal blower.
Edit: Man. I should watch the whole video before commenting.... Literally 2 seconds after I hit play, he points out the reeds....
I had a whistling toy top in the 80s. I found it on eBay a few years ago and it broke after a few uses because it became brittle. Only the top of the top broke so the launching mech has broken but the whistle is intact. It is not the reed type and I think it had two tones as it spun down and had a much richer mid tone than the ones you made. It’s clear plastic so I'll take some photos of it and send it to you.
that duck top brought back memories i didnt know i had lmao. I used to have one of those when I was a little kid, idk if it made a sound, but it spun with the same mechanism.
This is so good! "THANKS DAAAD" :D
Imagine playing this at a dark house in 12 pm
*Ive seen this raw strength only once before*
Thank you Muse, Very Cool!
Great video. *_Cool project._*
I used to love those metal spinning tops when I was younger
You should try and make an advanced launcher that uses gears to amp up the velocity
Or a beyblade compatible top
A simple flat dress shoe shoestring works well in place of the nylon cord. The string end fits into the hole and the flat part lets you wind more string on the spool, so it spins faster.
Love your dalek shirt!!!
That start sounded like one of those horror movie ambient sounds.
Really nice! I love to see other people getting obsessed with technical things like that! Good work, 4,99 is a fair price for all the work you put in your projects!
If you played a brass or wind instrument, you have know instinctively that blowing harder (so of course more air moving through) just makes it louder! Gotta change embouchure or the length/shape of the airway to change pitch, but that Helmholtz resonance dealie is pretty neat.
ps- now print a giant one! :D Thanks for supplying all the files for people to tweak!
I was expecting a much different sound from that tin top when you called it a tritone sound. That means something much different than "3 tones" in music.
Yeah I thought the same thing. For anyone wondering, the sound is more like a major chord, a tritone is two notes with an interval of 3 tones.
LOL U NEVER GON WIN WITH HOMEMADE BEYBLADES LIKE THIS
you will scare your opponent to death
counts as a win
*Tinnitus Intensifies*
7:55 these aren't actually two tones. The 'mute' part is probably the natural frequency of the cavity. Physicsgirl did a video on this, but for tubes instead of spinning tops. This is an incredibly interesting discovery if you ask me
that sound took my soul out of my body
Wait seriously? That's a vintage spinning top from the 50s? I've got one of those and my little sister has the over. That's crazy.
Could you make one that works like an air raid siren? I wonder how loud it can get.
They work on the same principle all he would have to do is run two of them of different sizes at the same time. Then it's just about finding the sizes that matches the tones of an air raid warning system.
It's quite logic the tone doesn't change when decreasing in velocity. If you blow harder on a flute, it's not like the tone will be higher or lower, it'll just be louder.
Top notch work
U should really look at video abt air raid sirens by what’s inside?..... do colab if possible and design more .... 🤘🏼
have you ever printed a hollow cone with the part fan at 100%? I was scared sh*tless when I started hearing whistling in the middle of the night
R/crappydesign
Add a "pea" for a warbling tone. The "pea" (used to be a dried pea in older whistles) is a small bead that's marginally larger than the sound producing vents. You may also try having several parallel holes, like a pan pipe, or even a specific assortment of holes to produce differing tones.
Perhaps even placing thin tympani or drum-like caps over a portion of the surface to act as a resonance projector (similar to the thin cone-shaped part of a speaker, but flat & flush with the top surface).
*Sounds* fun!
Note: the spinner was a paid actor
Me: reads/ screaming top /uhmmm

Now make one that actually screams, like the Aztecs did, you know you want to
How many native Indian burial grounds would that cost?
*SCREAMIN' MEANIE BEYBLADES!!!* 😆😆😆
If you want a higher mass, you could always print a hollow ring at the perimeter that you can fill with a weight, making it like a flywheel.
Also, how's your modelling of a spheroform tetrahedron coming along? Really interested in seeing how you've modeled it in Fusion; I think I've modeled one, not following the XtalGrafix page on the 'wedge' along the edges of a tetrahedron, but rather doing a variable radius fillet, so I'm not sure if it's 100% correct, but I have no way of testing this.
You could try the whistle sound before spinning it, you could print it twice and attach one as the prototype to a drill and there you can test the whistle sound and speeds.
Am I the only one who when he spun it in the tote lid thought “hay I did the with beyblades when I was a kid”
When he said 'tritone hum' I was gearing up for a eerie tritone, not 3 pitches at the same time.
Anna Bernegger same.
I would think you could use two bearings in the launcher so to reduce wear but also reduce the possible friction created for slow down. Basically the launcher pieces would spin while launching.
I've done some research into designing an ocarina tool 3D print so I was looking into how whistles work. There are lots of videos of people making them out of clay but there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to where the holes go and the actual whistle hole is not really described well in them. The ocarina has a similar resonance chamber inside.
No one:
Literally zero people:
Absolutely nothing:
A top: REEEEEEE
You should make trompos spin tops
Yes
Yea
If you steal the ball out of the tip of a ball-point pen, you can super glue it to the base of your top and probably increase your spin times :) That ball in an ink pen is actually made of tungsten carbide, incredibly hard, and would make a great tip/spin point for your tops. The hardness allows for less friction loss, which means longer spin times :)

OH HOLY CRAP WHAT IS HAPPENING
Just a small detail, a Tritone is something different in the context of music. What the vintage top plays is a Triad, where as the Tritone is actually a dissonant interval of two notes! For example C and F#
if you connect the external channel with a hole near the center then the spin top will act as a centrifugal pump and you can force air exiting at the sides, however as a pump surely it will reduce the spinning time a bit, hopefully not much, but will allow you to use the air flow to create sound.
