    Not sure why this video is getting so much hate, this is really good. Much better than I could do, and this is coming from someone who's been building sirens for a few years.

    So I am a writer and your video has helped with some technical difficulties that I'm having to put it on paper knowing that an air raid siren can actually be constructed by hand with a bench grinder has given me enough inspiration that my story can make an air raid siren

    Impressive. I would have used a different port size so it would be more high pitched. Either way, using a bench grinder for that is total genius.

    I've been looking into some how to make tornado siren videos for a project to do with my little brother. He and i are obsessed with sirens and i made a promise to him once I'd have the money to, we'd make one together. We may start off small because he's very young but so far once he's older to understand measurements I'm more than likely gonna use this tutorial for our bigger siren project

  • @Subgunman
    @Subgunman 4 роки тому +2

    That is an excellent project!!! There is one issue however, its the motor. It does not have enough torque to pull the needed air through the siren. I have basically the same grinder from Lidl and it does to have the power to do grinding. Try covering one side of the air intake and see if the tone on the remaining side increases. If so it shows that the motor lacks the power to pull the air through properly.
    Think I might do one of these as well. Alway nice to prank someone.

      ​@@projectmayhemUK or do a Colin Furze and gear it up. A kids' pedal tricycle flipped upside down might give you everything you need if you can replace the pedals with a drive plate attached to the grinder.
      Another option: out with the bench grinder, in with a pair of angle grinders, but they might be a bit too torquey and just wreck the rotor. You'd definitely want a guard on them :D
