The rest of you children, grow up.
I just completed a video consisting of many pictures and a LOT of explanation. The video is being exported by WMM right now.

Here is the video everyone: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeTcDoEZ ... ture=g-upl

My camera is a POS so the pics are blurry, but you can kinda see what the thing looks like.

Cool Mini Sirens as I see.
Will be leaving ARS until the new year, taking a break from the Drama.

I'll have to get a video made of it, I have some sound recordings of Mk.II, one of alert, starting each fan by itself with the 'chopper' fan the last, another of alert but turning them all on at once, and finally wail/attack for five cycles.

Yeah, someone mentioned that in the dedicated thread I made about the siren, but I can't find it now...

Thread about the siren heard in the video above. You can see Rhine's restored 2t22 sitting in my shop during part of that video.

I was always jealous of that mini siren since it's made of metal and is probably weatherproof. I couldn't make that if I tried.

Nonetheless, great siren!

It's just a cheapo ebay siren with a plastic rotor stuck inside a chimney cap. The screen is some pieces of gutter guard I left around.

I don't have access to a metal shop, but I would like to experiment more with flat chopper designs (Chrysler style). I bid and lost on an Ebay vehicle siren with a flat chopper, and I've never seen another one like it: a flat, bladed disc like a food processor blade mated to a matching stator. One could even take two tennis balls, quarter them to made eight scoop-shaped vanes, and glue them to a frisbee with matching holes and a stator.

Yeah I saw the insides of it. I would make one of those things (I have a chimney roof that fell off my house before we moved here) but I have 4 dollars of the 30 I had because of buying food with it (our refrigerator died, and we're not getting the new one for 3 weeks.) I can, however, make very efficient K'nex mechanical sirens (different in design from any other K'nex siren ever made) but they can't be motor driven since I haven't figured that out yet.

Daniel, you should try that. I can't, because I have no frisbee nor tennis balls.
