Where was this video all my life? LOL Seriously though, for years I've been trying to listen to Thunderbolts at all chopper levels, it's wonderful to have them all in one place. Thanks for doing this! :)
@7:10 "20 amps at 220 really cant kill you" Yes it can. It is said that 8mA will kill you. (Yes ok it has to go across your heart, but its considerably less than 20 Amps)
@Siren1000T1 Yes. It even says on the chopper transformer try chopper level 5 before trying others, well that's not what it exactly says but you get it.
@garyhstorms10 no, the distance is the same. its just the frequency. and when its a lower chopper level, it spreds a bigger beam of sound and when its higher, it creates a smaller beam of sound so learn your siren facts.
You should have ran the chopper for at least 15-20 seconds for each level, so that we could have heard the exact pitch it peaked at. The peak pitch without the blower is usually 4 semitones higher than with the blower running.
It takes around 25ma to cause serious damage including death this is why RCDs RCBOs are set at 30ma for additional protection against earth fault and electric shock They must disconnect with in 300ms at x1 and 40ms at x5 in testing stopping serious injury over this amount of current. Voltage is pressure amps is the flow of current it’s amps that kill not the voltage thought voltage can still cause injury. T-tech Electrical services.
You said that 20 Amperes at 250 V won't kill you, and that it only hurts. Trust me, it can kill you, it takes milliamperes across the heart to kill someone. 20 Amperes at 12 Volts can kill, even 20 Amperes at one. However, I didn't realize that the siren motor on these thunderbolts had variable speeds through voltage. Nicely done.
I don't know if by now you've done independent research but these models were used for civil defense during the cold war. They were then reused as just general warning sirens (in the Midwest we use them for Tornado Warnings or other major bad weather). There are many others that serve the same purpose and now they are often refered to as warning sirens (or a apart of an ows, outdoor warning system). I hope this answers your question and then some!
@@mayaaleshire663 Fully answered my question if I still hadn't known by now. The comment is pretty old, and I've done some research by now. I find these to be pretty menacing, especially on chopper levels 2, 3, and 7.
It is a large fan with precise blades that "chop" the air as it spins (If you have a house fan, turn it on at different speeds and speak into it. You're voice will modulate, and that same principal works on this mechanical siren). Different speeds of the chopper affect the tone of the sound out of the horn. The Federal Q siren that's widely used on fire apparatus works in the same way.
WHAT THE ****?! NO MORE VERY FASTER! anything else you are doing today 😉 or tomorrow 😁 or tomorrow night I can go to me for a few days 🤠 and funny 😂 and I love it and funny to you ☺️I love it and funny but I love 💕 and I love 💕 you are my best friend

I totally agree with you!!!
Don't try and use this video to learn chopper levels! Because it has no blower, the pitch is higher than normal thus not accurate.
I agree 👍
chopper level 2 sounds like a Carter air raid siren
0:51
Agreed
ikr was about to comment that
@@scootf243 me too
Sounds like it
I like how you made a larger gauge of wire with the extension cords that go to the 20 amp switch.
I like chopper level 3 the best, but for high/low on the 1003 I like chopper level 4.
agree
@7:10 "20 amps at 220 really cant kill you" Yes it can.
It is said that 8mA will kill you. (Yes ok it has to go across your heart, but its considerably less than 20 Amps)
50 mA is deadly for everybody 8mA can be deadly if you have a weak hart 20 A you wil be roasted and for sure dead if they can find you back

Q: what does it sound like when you unmute a thunderbolt 1000t siren
A: BWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Like a baby crying
Nice work on repurposing the cords & so on. Good to see that creativity is still alive.
I never realized how gigantic these things are. I always saw them from far away, I thought they're as big as a megaphone.
I've noticed the same effect with stoplights. From far away they look like a toy, but stand next to one and they are basically the size of a person.
@@sorcerykid Streetlights too!

Never knew about setting 7. I like one the best.
Ivory coast
Chopper level 4 is the best out of all.
I agree
for anyone who was around during WWI or WWII, level 2 has to be the scariest one (since it sounds like the carter air raid sirens)
Setting 2 sounds like a British WWII siren (Carter, etc.) and setting 7 almost sounds like a Siratone. :)
It actually does sound realistic like the WWII siren
African thunderbolts could have eaten that shirt
People like should gtfo
this thunderbolt is eating it XD
0:39-0:42 sounds like a winding down 2t22
Yes, that is correct. Since the force of air through the chopper will slow it down, this is not representative of tone gradation in actual operation.
I run my 1003 on 4. Love them Thunderbolts!
boulder89984 I love Thunderbolts too! Wish that I had a Thunderbolt!
I finally found this again!
4:57 The 666l V10 Hemi getting rid of the excess loudness after a muffler.
Jake brake you mean?
breh. a towel right?
Thunderbolt levels:
Setting 1: lowest pitch
Setting 2: lower pitch
Setting 3: low pitch
Setting 4: middle pitch of the group
Setting 5: high pitch (recommended)
Setting 6: higher pitch
Setting 7: highest pitch ( my favourite)
Setting 8: the growl
At 4:57 when you pulled out that towel is sounded like a big rig jake breaking 😂
Ben Meyer omg god it does
OMG! That mighty Thunderbolt roar!!!
I think Level 5 is the standard factory setting.
@Siren1000T1
Yes. It even says on the chopper transformer try chopper level 5 before trying others, well that's not what it exactly says but you get it.
Nice demonstration and nice work with getting the cords to carry the load that you want. Is that a tube guitar amplifier in the background?
2, 3, and 4 are my favorite speed settings
I love that sound
Umm where could I get one of those?
I was expecting 4:57 to be the siren being a 1003 retracting its solenoids. Edit: I was expecting the siren to be a 1003.
The lower chopper level carries farther than the high chopper level
How did you get one of these?
Setting 4 is what I would use. It has the best sound
Excellent video. Kudos
Where was this siren originally located
AllertorBoy somewhere
Somewhere in the USA
@@ThisHandleIsNotTaken. n I c e
Setting 7 sounds like the ones in Amarillo
@garyhstorms10 no, the distance is the same. its just the frequency. and when its a lower chopper level, it spreds a bigger beam of sound and when its higher, it creates a smaller beam of sound so learn your siren facts.
Literally the neighbors:
Honey, the guy set off his siren again.

Good point I was just thinking the same thing.
Bro sound aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!?!?!?!?!?!

4:58, Thunderburp. X) haha nice vid. Wish I could do that with mine, I don't have an RCM or AR.
2810: Hey! What Do You Say?
@@sarahscartoonchannel7772 shut up
4:16 sounds like a EOWS 612
I'd say MarkSlimm is also an accomplished guitarist. There is a guitar amp in the background.
Austin's sounded like between 3-4, maybe the towels....
Level 3 and 4 sounds like a 3t22 or 2t22
Awesome video! I subbed!
I like #2 and #7 as well #8.
There IS no chopper level 8 (-__-)
Oh, well never mind then...I guess I just like looking at it :p
Chopper #7 sounds like SiraTone in noon blast.
I believe Federal Signal did that on purpose
That's because he set it to do a growl test and he muffled the sound out with a towel.
Quentin Richards yeah it does!! Hahah! I have 4 by me so yeah it does.
Adonde la puedo conseguir
It sounds Different when you put stuff into this siren. When taken off, It Growls A Little Bit.
But....the higher the chopper level is, the higher the wind up/wind down is.
i like your thunderbolt siren
Wow nice thunderbolt
I have a question can I eat this?
Keep the towels in, you're annoying the neighbors! LoL 😂
I Still Can't Tell The Difference Between The Levels, Which I Have Been Trying To Figure Out.
its the amount of power the chopper gives
The 2nd level sounds like an Escape at the highest tone
Setting 3 sounds a bit like a 3T!
5/6 +5/6=10/12
They all sound very similar.
setting 7 sounds like a modulator wail
Offtopic but what font is that?
are we talking about sirens or parades?
Setting 9 Is So much Loud🤯🤯
@ amy collins
I'm in Kansas and most of their thunderbolts are level 5.
Yeah but they are removing them Emporia used to have a few now we have 2001s and mods
So you tell me someone could go sabotage a Thunderbolt 1000T and put it at Chopper 1 if they wanted?
4:57 Jake brake
0:51
u mean sounds like klaxon cs8
I've bet you've pissed off alot of neighbors testing that thing lol
what are the motor speeds for all 7 chopper levels
3 and up are the best
I have never known what these sirens are for, can you tell me?

How is it still making noise with a towel stuffed into it and no blower?
OLD COMMENT.
The chopper
Edaan Friedman wow Edaan 😂
Old comment. Sorry for the stupidity.
Edaan Friedman Lol we had to start somewhere!
Yup.
Setting 3 sounds like a 3t22
Love setting 4
What is the chopper though never understood is it like the blowing thing?

Setting 7 sounds like does 612 wail
The difference is the pitch and sound
It sound like a 3T22
Setting 7: why do I sound like EOWS.
They kinda sound like a 2t22.
Where do you buy these
how much was this and you have teh blower?
Do you know what RPM for chopper 3 is?
No more test :(
3 alirante wail

Growl
it sounds like a air raid
Nearly sounds like an XT22
5/6?
Does it sound like a 2T to you?
It is 5/6

I could see why you put some stuff in the horn to muffle the sound

This is song broken solar panel
After I posted my comment I saw yours. Thank goodness someone else agrees with me.
Fred, I think you have toilet paper in your horn
how the hell is setting 5 recommended
It's the classic pitch of a Thunderbolt. With the blower, the sound is more bearable
