There sure appears to be a rotating something there, which happened to park misaligned with the "projector" intake. Notice that it is not even.
That museum should open the siren portso people can better understand how it works.
I didn't know anyone tried using the intake to emit meaningful sound.
Years ago I suggested to FedSig thathey draw air from behind the Q
rotor instead of the front where slush and sand and debris can more easily enter. I suggested it would also help cool the motor - it that was ever an issue. Then, they could put a big light in the front.
The Chinese siren I found pulls air up from beneath
