Do you rember the little party favor whistles that you blow and makes that quick funny whistle sound it's the same sound effect that's used when a cartoon character slips and falls down the whistle looks like a small little plastic cylinder with a small little disc inside with impellers and then the just like this siren there are ports for air to exit while the disc inside spins as you blow air into the whistle air spins the disc air travels through the impellers while air exits the whistle through the ports the air you blow gets chopped up whenever the each impeller lands on an open port compressing the passage of air just like when you whistle the smaller the opening and harder you whistle the louder it gets in this case the faster the chopper spins the more air the louder the siren gets.
Glad to see you have some knowledge about sirens! But there's one thing... Not all thunderbolts are dual tone. The Thunderbolt 1000 Is single tone and the Thunderbolt 1000T Is dual tone, and the Thunderbolt 1003 is dual tone, and has solenoids, allowing it to do Hi-Lo. There is also a blower at the bottom that supercharges the siren's rotor, allowing it to have that really demanding "TAKE COVER NOW!!" sound. But these blowers also have different variants, which are the 3M, 4M, 5M, 6M (A1), and 7M (I think don't quote me).
YOU DID A FANTASTIC JOB ON MAKING THAT SIREN!!!! I AM LOOKING FOR ONE MYSELF. DONT HAVE A 3D PRINTER TO DO IT, BUT ANYWAY KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK ON MAKING THEM!!!
This is the first home-made Carter type siren I have seen that sounds realistic. We use this type of siren here in NZ at our volunteer fire stations as part of the turnout alert for the crew.
excellent. Now a bowl to direct the sound. Only the outside edge of the spinning rotor needs to be close to make it louder right? So if you tapered the ends you could cut it with an exacto knife to minimize opening?
Nicolas Salenc PBP I actually wanted a Thunderbolt at one point. There are some people who actually own some lol. I was in that hobby for the mechanical stuff
Awesome work - that is very cool!! I wanted to build one of these out of a bench grinder years ago, before 3D printers existed in the consumer market! (Thanks for the link/credit for my video btw!!)
Spartan studios Productions you can get some pretty cheap ones now a days. the cheapest one i can think of is $100 that’s fully build and ready to be used there are some you can build yourself that might be a little cheaper
Yep by looking i see he has screws going into the stator but theres no part on my beach grinder motor that allows screws to go in so I'm really stuck and would appreciate the help to get it working with my motor
@@NicolasSalencPBP I'm British plus on a limited budget right now as the printer itself was not cheep at all and then I needed to buy its supplies but that's not the only issue the rotor itself locks up to friction
I remember watching this video a few years back, came back for some nostalgia! I'm also stoked that you voiced one of my favorite characters from Satellite City, I just found that out lol.
Yeah this is way better sound than any of the ones you can just go out and buy online or on Amazon unless your lucky enough to your hands on an actual honest to goodness retired ar siren. Question though. If you were wanting to put one of these outside and wanted to build the turbine out of a more weather resistant part what metal composition would you recommend to print this with?
hey i just printed this and wasted 30$ of filament and supports wouldnt come out i would like to know how to get them out or id like money for new filament
what would you charge for the stators to make for the bench grinder you had on you tube i like the double ones for the sound i would need a set of 2. thanks
I’m struggling printing the stator. Any tips? Infill density 100, what is best bed temp and nozzle temp? I’m using 1.75 pla. Printer is a Creality 3D Ender 3 V2 Neo! I’m a complete novice at this so go easy on me 😂
#Nicolas Salanc , mmm I have a bench grinder and want to create an air raid siron as finding a ww2 original is hard . Can u make the bits required and how much plz
yeah there should be a solenoid version of the siren so it can do hi-lo edit: what should the solenoid version be called and also it should be a rotating omnidirectional siren
@@pLzza4150 Are you building a siren too? To answer your question, hopefully. Usually if the siren has solenoids, it either has "CS" Coded Shutter/Solenoid, or "Coded". The Thunderbolt 1003 for example. The "3" represents it's a coded Thunderbolt 1000. Something like that.
Almost 2 years ago I bought a 3D printer just to make this. Now, I own 8 sirens (two being full-size real Cold War Civil Defence sirens), one of which is this 3D printed model. By the way, for those wondering... this siren has an outdoor audible range of over 500m, including several large building obstructions.
Just make sure you have a compatible grinder to attach it to. I have 3 different grinders and none would fit the rotor. The stator fit without a hitch on all of them. Just wished the 3d model files were included (.STEP etc) to customize a fit. All you get are STL's, a PDF file and a text document.
Now that's a real siren sound. I'm gonna hook one up to my truck, lol. Great design! Can a Triple be made with one rotor putting out a lower bass tone?
Yes indeed, 10/12 ports and he's French so 50 Hz power ! He also recently uploaded a video of a homemade French KM Europ 8 port siren which also sounds spot on. He tested it outside and to avoid any annoyance he did it during an actual siren test
Hi Sam! I fixed the website, you should be able to purchase the files without running into any issues! salencnicolas.wixsite.com/website-2 Sorry for the inconvenience...
One of the best homemade sirens I’ve ever heard. Perfect siren pitch (RPMs)! Amazing job!

It is a pretty good siren.

Hi Thunderbolt siren
Great for telling children it’s time for dinner…
Very simple and yet so cool!
I had no idea that mechanical sirens were a thing.
Great video idea :D

Wow! That genuinely sounds like a Carter / Klaxon siren. This video has definitely got a like from me!
This is so good. Definitely one of the best home made sirens
You got the sound bang on there. Sounds amazing through a 12K bass rig.
This is the first home-made Carter type siren I have seen that sounds realistic. We use this type of siren here in NZ at our volunteer fire stations as part of the turnout alert for the crew.
Bought your files… have already printed the stator, on to the rotor now. So good. You nailed the tone.
it sounds like british carter 1939 ww2 siren
edit: omg u just dont even know how rare this kind of siren is..
VasyaTheSlav he built an air raid siren..... I think he would know quite a bit about sirens too

@@hickmanism I agree.
there are a few sirens like this in Canada, but all of the active ones belong to small town fire depts.
10/12 port

Well that's one way to get to know your neighbours! LOL
no way i just got intrested in sirens yesterday
Same!
Exactly like a carter air raid siren ! Nice!👍👍👍👍👍👍👏

Hello 2:51 how you make that rotor keep spinning even power off ?
It's momentum from the weight of the two grinding wheels on the other side.
excellent. Now a bowl to direct the sound. Only the outside edge of the spinning rotor needs to be close to make it louder right? So if you tapered the ends you could cut it with an exacto knife to minimize opening?
Wait WHAT?? You are actually also into Sirens too?! I didn’t expect you to know what a Thunderbolt was!

Best sounding printed siren on TH-cam.

Love it:)
Why did you choose to combine both rotors on 1 side instead of the usual setup?
I wish I had a 3-D printer.
Spartan studios Productions you can get some pretty cheap ones now a days. the cheapest one i can think of is $100 that’s fully build and ready to be used there are some you can build yourself that might be a little cheaper
I want 3D printer too.
I have one but my stupid printing software doesn't work
Mine cost me a little less than $300
BroadmoorSirenFan YT tinkercad use it
How loud is it? (Did you make a dezibel test?)
I've tried to pay for this twice now, and on PayPal it just says payment pending, and I haven't received any plans! Is there a problem with the site?
Can I buy a set from you?
Yep by looking i see he has screws going into the stator but theres no part on my beach grinder motor that allows screws to go in so I'm really stuck and would appreciate the help to get it working with my motor
Get a new bench grinder that does, they're like 25$

I'm from the US can you tell me where to get that grinder?
Just check out a Harbor freight grinder
@@TylerHarney thanks
Now how to control it, tie it in to the NWS alerts system somehow.
And yes, the sound on this is awesome. Really love the dual pitch.
great pitch, but how do you decide when it should be running>?/
what would you charge for the stators to make for the bench grinder you had on you tube i like the double ones for the sound i would need a set of 2. thanks
print them
Air the plans available for this..i want to build one for my garage
where can you get the 3d printed item to put on to a bench grinder to make the Air Raid Siren sound ?
For a 3D printed siren it looks really well-balanced :) Did you balance it after printing?
I’d like to see you test a siren with like 10 or 20 chambers with different tones or just way bigger chambers
Thanks for showing this! I'm helping a guy on r/AirRaidSirens create a siren of his own, and your instructions in the description really help out!
Is there any way you could print one and ship it. I do not have access to a 3D printer. I have a 6in harbor freight bench grinder for the project.
My son is obsessed with any and all federal signal sirens and I'm trying to build him one.
How about using a more dissonant interval like the tritone? (frequency 1 : sqr (2))
How many ports have the rotor?
I did not expect a Carter siren, but if you put the motors on the side to make it cool,
Hi Nicolas, do you hava the dimensions to print in Brazil one Air siren?
How many decibels is this siren?
So, what would a four stage one sound like?
Sounds like Carter siren.
Dj Mario it’s because it’s 10/12 ports like a carter
@@halpmeamcringe1538 it can also run 5/6 ports the canadian carter also ran 20/24 ports
Correct.
what grinder did he use?
The Thunderbolt 1000T and the 1003 are dual toned.
is it ok if i use this for a video?
Hi nice homemade siren Could you do a distance Siren test?
Yeah I recently got my 3D printer and printed this siren spent days printing but I'm having to let my motor cool down as it won't turn the rotor
Can you make a DS 977 siren?
I consider the Tbolt a dual tone AND single tone, because it creates an overtone with the dual-tone chopper interacting with the blower.

I usually print at 220°C nozzle, 60°C bed temp
@@NicolasSalencPBP thanks for the reply 😁. It’s failed twice now I think it’s support settings 😔
How many ports?
How did you get the 10/12 port?
Can you send a 3-D model of the siren?
Shawn woods brought me here, this is better than expected.
Some Thunderbolts are single tone and ACA p50s are dual tone Sirens too
what printer settings did you take
#Nicolas Salanc , mmm I have a bench grinder and want to create an air raid siron as finding a ww2 original is hard . Can u make the bits required and how much plz
Decibels?
How did you make it?
How much for a rotor stator?
Now you've gone and pissed off my wife by convincing me to build one of these.....
Nice project man!
Amazing sweet sounding siren there my friend well done
What is your bench grinders rpm?
From what it shows in the video I think it is 3000 rpm
@@thewashateriawandererzayne4376 thanks
Can you get into trouble while blasting this without notifying anyone?
Yes x)
Is this 10/12 port?
What is the outro song?
What programmer did u use to create the model
That's actually kind of cool, I think that should be called a GP6T siren or something, since it's a single chopper and stator with 2 tones.
yeah there should be a solenoid version of the siren so it can do hi-lo
edit: what should the solenoid version be called and also it should be a rotating omnidirectional siren
@@pLzza4150 Are you building a siren too?
To answer your question, hopefully. Usually if the siren has solenoids, it either has "CS" Coded Shutter/Solenoid, or "Coded". The Thunderbolt 1003 for example. The "3" represents it's a coded Thunderbolt 1000. Something like that.
Uh, that reply was when I was new to siren enthusiasm. So if you add a solenoid, it'll do pulse.

Sounds exactly like the British Carter siren ! If you can get it going a bit faster it will sound like a 2T22
Have you thought about making a siren with eight and 12 ports? As it would probably be a really unique sounding siren
Will you sell the impeller and stater?

that pitch is actually possible on a Tbolt just set the settings on an RCM timer to chopper 3
Thunderbolts are pretty famous for the compact 5/6 port rotor
Can i pay you for some?
Nice where can I buy 👍🏽👍🏽
Very well made siren! What is the port ratio? Sounds like 10/12 on 50hz.
yep, 10-12 at around 3000rpm is roughly what our sirens have.

Chopper and stator assembly. Also don't forget the XT22!
Also add a horn to it. It will project the sound that way
