San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) former mystery/custom engineered siren FOUND!!!!

[Model L]

i would agree, altho i believe a pool pump motor is a universal motor, at least my uncles is. the commutator wore out and it shorted. but we got it rewound

And so ends a long time siren community mystery. Who wants pudding?

[Model L]

can it be had in an allertor horn?
or maybe it could be banana colored CD yellow.
we could pour it in a tbolt blower and it would rain pudding...
idk

[coastalsyrolover]

[Model L]

This is gotta be the most epic find ever. I keep forgetting about that video but for the horns I would base them off the patent drawings as much as possible. I’m pretty anxious to hear what one finnaly sounds like. What work besides having the horns made needs to be done on this thing?

Patent link? Also what video?

Wow, I feel like I'm scrolling through the siren dreams thread! I never thought anything more would be found out about these sirens! The design is very similar to a Japanese Hankoku (I think) turbo siren, aside from the fact that those ones use the same motor for the blower and the chopper. The Japanese ones also use centrifugal blowers, direct drive off the bottom of the motor, and I assume they have pretty tight tolerances. The rusty one has quite a strange blower setup indeed... looks like maybe it has a blower bypass of some kind? There used to be a video of one on youtube, but it got removed.
