Hmm, weird. I thought FS's motors were 6.5, and they look absolutely tiny in comparison. And considering a 40HP motor turns the choppers normally, it had me wondering.

So why are they calling it a 40V2T-B if the motors are only 8H.P. a piece?
Definitely cool, none the less. 8)

well, consider that induction motors are speed limited, and series motors aren't (only limited by power.)
also, consider that on the 2001 and the Eclipse, you're looking at the motor in relation to the housing, not the chopper. The 2001's chopper is (I believe) the same as the Model 3. The motor looks tiny 'cos it's mounted on a big stator+horn throat assembly.

Oh man Ed, that sucker is insanely sweet! Looks great, can't wait to her hear roar!
Dickson would do good with a few of those

Was hoping the motors would be coupled together.
Otherwise, there may be some interesting intervals as they speed up and descend in speed differently.
What are the stator port ratios?
Can'they make use of the rotor intakes to broadcast sound?
I want lower frequency - fewer ports with onexponential projector per port.
Don't like learning "wind up is incredibly fast".
I prefer a windup similar to wind down rate.
Not impressed.

15 ports on the top, 10 ports on the bottom. Pretty much like a 10/15 port Decot siren.

I've wondered about using sirens for avalanche control.

I wonder about that, too. 8)

Wow! If this thing is louder than the T-135-AC/DC, it would be the loudest electro-mechanical siren ever produced. I don't think it could beat the Creisler though.
Does it sound a lot like the original 40V2T?

Oh yeah, warn of an starting avalanche with a siren that prob started it in the first place, that would be hilarious to see
