- Oh it was so long ago I recorded these sounds but I still love to hear them sometimes. 1 Meter in diameter these fans makes lots of sounds when they spin up with the soft starter and I love the humming sound so much. hope you like it too :)
Listen to the finished song here: • AC Kraft - [Free downl...
the sound inspired me now more than 10 years later to start a song using the sounds in it and you can listen to what I got so far in this vide. if you like it let me know and I will do my best to finish the song and upload it on my music channel:

Thanks for watching! leave a like if you like and have a nice day :) - Розваги
I can just smell it, absolutely awesome. The specific smell of grease, gasoline, old oil, diesel, and rusted metal. The definition of Old Tractor Smell.
indeed :D
Burning windings!😁
Those things are A WHOLE METER and spin that fast??? Wow!
If they’re ventilation for potato stores or grain stores they’ll be pretty powerful. They need to move a lot of air against substantial back pressure.
Thats nothing compared to fighter jet engines or turbofan engines
Why does this sound better than music? The sound old large fans make is something i just cannot describe but am captured by its beautiful notes 🎶
Because we love the sound from electric motors who struggles to overcome so much resistance with so much power and how they scream and roar as they overcome the momentum needed to run as they spin faster and faster. The AC power with the alternating hum from the stators and rotors who resonate in the metal blades as they revs up. Oh yes I can definitely understand why you like it so much

Title: Epic soft start
The first 5 seconds:
*Demonic soul shattering screching sounds*
Just how we like it lol
Idc
The tired moaning one: that’s me on Monday mornings when I get up for school
Andrej’s World I feel you, maybe this fan started to sound like this because it had to listen to my moaning every Monday for 10 years
Pulverrostmannen yes true
Andrej’s World maybe that fan was even built on a Monday lol, who knows ha ha
@@Pulverrostmannen How old are those fans?.
The fan that is the tired moaning one that is looking like me as well on a Monday morning Andrej's World.
nice when it's speeding up it really makes a good build up noise
Those are some cool vintage industrial fans!
I've never seen such an intensive fan video. Awesome lol.
Glad you like it man! Also fun to see you on my channel again dude, been a while. Hope everything is dandy with you and everything :)
Everything has been loud and good! and I seen one of your videos suggested next to mine so I had to check out what you were up to. I did not expect a fan rave, haha
Ha ha awesome. You have pretty much bass capability available right. I have just made a new bass song that's hitting the lows pretty good. You may test it out if you like. You find it on my music channel PowertoastMusic name is Bassus. You have a download on that too. I don't think you will be disappointed.
Very nice indeed!
Haha wow that was load! And love the idea with a song from it haha!
why am i watching this?
Leo Nilzén likely due to a random UA-cam spree when you suddenly find this video and got curious ;) welcome to my channel!
Loved that music piece!
Powder-phun thank you! You can find the complete song on my other channel. This version is only the work in progress. You have a link in the description :)
Yes, I've already found it. Just that not a single comment here mentioned it, so I decided to change that.
Powder-phun thank you!
Thank you for your passion ... "Sound of Machines". ;-)
I love machines and engines! And the more they roar like this the more I smile
Interesting seeing these ventilation fans “pin-wheeling” in the breeze, and you putting a audio dub over them of them being switched on, of the sound that the motor’s made. I like fans. I assume that when you went to video them, you had opened a vent/door to have them spinning in the wind. If I was the farmer and designed that hay-drying barn, the fans would he permanent magnet DC type that would additionally function as generators, (seeing how much wind was blowing them) a smart electric system would charge battery’s and that barn would be self-sufficient and not connected to the mains/grid [and possibly the entire farm, being environmentally friendly] all I (the farmer) would be doing is putting my fresh hay in it and pressing “start” and leaving it to do its thing, and coming back to dry hay 😁. It would be so clever - to detect that it was windy and not turn the fans on (having them as generators) and having the wind do it. Nowadays it would have an elaborate shutter-vent system to naturally dry the hay with the wind, and in place of those fans would be wind-turbines to power the farm itself. Given how windy it was in this video - did the farm have a traditional windmill to grind it’s own flour? It would be an excellent location for a wind-turbine 🌿. I have listened to your electro-house tune with the motor sound in it and liked it ☺️
I used to live on this farm for about 10 years as a kid. Which was a long time ago now. During the end of that time I had an old pentium 1 laptop that I could bring out with me which I put on the spot about as you see the video here and I recorded the actual sound of each fan but it was also the only thing I could do since I had no camera back then. I manage to keep this recording for years to come and it was quite poor since it was made only with the built in mic. However with modern tech and me buying FL studio I got the tools needed to clean up the audio and get rid of the random “computer sounds” such as the hard drive and a ton of static.
I got a fascinating close result to how these fans actually sounded so I wanted to share this. But then I needed a video. At this time no one was living on the farm anymore and there was no power either so the only thing I could do was to put my camera and record them spinning in the wind and then match up the best for the audio.
It is partly for my own memory too since I loved how they sounded during start as well.
The barn was old and pretty simple with single layer of plank with an air gap between each plank so that area was not heated which was right next to the area the cows were so for the fans part it was very drafty in that area. There was no windmill for grinding flour but we had a crusher for making oat flakes with which was incredibly noisy and other dedicated drying fans for that oat which also sounded pretty nice but I could never record that one. All I got from this now is old memories
Interesting explanation but it's called windmilling
My God I watching old fans. My mind has gone.
I remember watching this video! I’m fascinated by technology and engineering! - Riley
P.S Those fans at 0:01 sound real epic
I used to watch this video when I was younger!
Yes indeed. These fans have a really epic sound to them. I remember growing up hearing them for the first time I was fascinated how cool they sounded in real life. And also that they made the exact same identical sound every single time you spun them up. Almost to the perfect level identical year after year.
@@Pulverrostmannen1. Nice video regardless! I remember watching it many years ago. 2. Were the fans spinning via the wind or the actual motor? 3. Was the star-delta switchover automatic or was it manual so you had to switch it from star to delta - Riley (don’t forget to mention my name, Riley)
@@suezq74 Ok Riley. The Fans in this very video is spinning just by the wind. When I made the video I no longer lived at the farm and there was no power anymore since it was empty for years after we moved out. I had kept the audio recording I made from them when I was young and did a startup a quiet day when I was alone.
Each fan had a huge box on the wall outside the barn with the Star-Delta switches and you had to manually cycle through the stages.
These pulled ridiculous amounts of current so if you went to stage two too quick the main fuses blew like popcorn.
But who wants that anyway. I wanted to hear them sing their beautiful song of inertia before going to full speed.
After all these years I still had the recording which I cleaned and remastered for better quality and I made a matching video on the very fans that made that sound spinning lonely in the wind
Sounds like you have a slight delay in the pull in of the bypass contactor on #2. Ramp sounds good, but there's about a half second delay before the bypass puts it across the line.
kleetus92 these fans are actually such old school types they only have a manual lever for Star-Delta mode. I guess I was a bit slow with one of them
Oooooo ok. that makes sense
delishous
Its a mez mohelnice induction motor. I have many of them. This one have star-delta starting.
I was pretty sure they are induction motors too, and they had a big box with a large lever for the star-delta start :D
and the lovely sound they make when they spin up are just magic
metal fan :-D
What an artistic you Bro, Thumbs up X10
Thank you :)
i need to get a recording of the motor on my drydock at work they are made in the late 40s early 50s and are 480 3 phase rated at 26hp the physical size is 4 foot tall and approx. 18" diameter as they are mounted vertical to turn driveshafts that connect to the seachest pumps. They bark loudly during start up pretty loud as you can hear them start from half mile away
I would love to hear that sound! I would be awesome if you want to share this sound with us here!
What the fans look like in side the barn?
This is great! I always feel as though electric motor startups are amazing to listen to. You've taken it one step further and made actual music from it.
Here is a very old American fan starting up. This is a 1.5 HP (1.1 kW) direct-drive fan, made in the 1930's. No soft-start or Y-Δ contactor here. This is 240V 3-phase 60 Hz direct-across-the-line.ua-cam.com/video/njKojI0Sj3Y/v-deo.html
thank you! the song made is also done and you may find it on my music channel if you wanna hear the final result of it :) my music channel is named Powertoast Music, cheers
do you have any more videos of this ac engine i love to hear it
These audio recordings are actually really really old and the only usable I got. 20+ years old. I have remastered the audio for this video and overlayed the audio on a video taken on the very same fans spinning by the wind. Sadly enough there were more cool sounding motors on this farm but I never took any recordings on those mostly because my equipment was very limited at this point in time
@@Pulverrostmannen ok
I just settle for revving up my electric battery powered vacuum cleaner
If a car sounded like this when you start it up even I would get up earlier for work just to listen to it extra closely ha ha
Fan of the near post to be in a position to make sure you get a
remember fan of my old computer x)
Picaxe45 I remember the time in 1993 when I saw a computer for the first time and it made so many strange sounds. I always wondered what the spinning up sound was and all the ticky tacky sounds and the all mysterious windows 3.11 for workgroups was not easy to understand much less the commands in dos to play games the computer could not handle while keeping windows loaded.
It was a golden age to learn the spinning sound came from the 200megabyte hard drive and getting to know the commands and ways to get around in dos and windows.
And how almost every computer sounded like one of these wall fans even if they did not generate any heat at all, I mean the cpu did not even need a heat sink but everything was made as if it was generating more heat than the sun when it came to the fans.
Boy I was not missing the new era of silent computing, but I do miss the soul in older computers and how they act and sounded when loaded. It was art.
But in terms of computing power and other things new computers are more useful but they still lack something from the golden era
the music gives me half life vibes with all the fan screeching in the background
Especially at the end of opposing force right ;)
Where are there's fans located? I would love to see them!
Rainbow_Dash_7x located on the west coast of Sweden, not very far away from Uddevalla. /)
Rainbow_Dash_7x iv think that would be a greatest exhaust fan!
looks like an old Mez Mohelnice motor from czechoslovakia :D
Awesome! Greetings from Sweden
tack detsamma :D
Martins maskiner nice! Kul att se lokala kommentarer med :)
I'm a huge metal fan fan
Darn right!
Liked for that joke. But also for the fans.
whenever i go to old buildings and see old dussty fans, i just want to hear them start ump
Right said buddy! The humming and squealing, the buzzing power surging through the windings with agonizing resistance to overcome the torque demand, how every cycle forces the rotor to spin faster and faster with ever increasing screams of power. It’s art, pure art I tell ya!
@@Pulverrostmannen theres 2 fans in my school gym that clearly have not been startup for years, theres a swich for both of them and i just wannna hear them but i dont wanan get in toruble
@@CRAIG86 for sure. I bet it won’t be easy to be sneaky about it either lol. If they roar like the ones in my video the whole neighborhood will know you touch the handle
They do sound awesome! However i highly doubt that they do spin up to such high RPM only by the wind.
I can clearly hear that typical motor "pop" sound at 0:12 which the 3 phase AC asynchronous motor makes when being switched from star to delta configuration.
It can't be heard at 0:46, however the sudden speed up and stable RPM is also typical for switching from star to delta.
Lastly it is worth mentioning that both fans starts up exponentially, both at the same rate and hold stable RPM after for a while, before being turned off.
Someone had to power them on.
Neat video tho!
Well you are both correct and both wrong.
The fans do spin in the wind in this very footage.
But the sound is recorded waaaaay back in time and I was the one doing it too.
I used to live on that farm when the fans were operational and they were used to dry hay.
At that time I took a laptop and a microphone and recorded both fans while I started them up and kept that recording.
Later we moved away and I figure it would be fun to have a video on them but then all power were no longer active.
So I took my camera with me on a day when it was blowing stupid strong winds and made a “quiet recording” just to show them spinning and then matched my old cleaned audio recording with the fans in the wind bursts and got a pretty good match of what I remember these fans were back in the days when I could see them in reality.
So there you have the story why it looks like it does here
@@Pulverrostmannen Oh, thank you for the explanation, now its all clear, I appreciate it! Also nice story :)
@@44Kilovolt No problem :) it would not be easy to know how it was made otherwise so it deserved a cleared explanation :)
Yeah, those bearings have had it. Time to pull them out and stuff some new ones in, chances are they’ll be fine after that.
And ruin their epic sound? Ha ha not sure lol. Not assured the bearings are that bad as it could seem though because they did not make a sound while the fans only spin by the wind but they are truly old so they could have some play anyway. But there is such much resistance by these huge metal blades they have to spin up and they resonates a lot when the rotors struggled with the force so it is kinda normal these kind of fans sounds like this when they start up. They always sounded the exact same during the 10 years I lived there. But now it’s like 15 years ago I also moved out from that place. I still wonder if they work and sound the same now as well. Too bad I can’t really check that out anymore
☹️
can your make an other video abaut this fan ?
+Loudspeaker & more I'm afraid not because the place is abandoned and has no power since years back now. well ever since we moved away from there soon 10 years ago. this was the best I could do filming the fans spinning by the wind and use a really old recording of the sounds I still have after all these years. anything special you had in mind about them?
+Pulverrostmannen OK !
What song did you eventually put these in?
They are used in the completed song named “AC Kraft” and you find it on my separate channel: Powertoast Music. You can also expand the information tab in this video to find a direct link to this track :)
Noisey exhaust fans.
it looks like as Czech product (in fact from Czechoslovakia). i can see it from a shape of motor cover. i think that motor was built in 1970 around, by MEZ Mohelnice. i have one same looking from 1970 from same manufacturer with power 1,5kW(2HP) with 1450rpms on 50Hz. greetings from czech republic.
+george911751 sounds awesome, it can be quite near the truth about the age of the fans too. I don't have any information how long these fans been on the wall but it is more than 20 years as I know and they were not new back then either. the sound are however very epic imo and i always wanted to join as a kid when they were to be started up :) greetings from sweden
those motors as i know about it, can run non-stop over a 50yrs. only what ic could put little down with lifetime, are bearings. this type of motors are induction 3 phase asynchronnous motors with shorted rotor(no brushes inside- rotor is only iron cage with iron magnetic plates) and i can hear it starting on the star/delta system so it could be motors with drain over 4kw. (around 5hp).
+george911751 indeed, there are so much resistance when they start but they drain the main fuses alone and if booth were run simultaneous (operational speed) the fuses blew even at the slightest external load on the system. there were 3 32A main fuses if i remember correct
+Pulverrostmannen ok. it appears both could have around or up then 7,5kW(10HP) if i'll think they are only big drain from supply. 32A drain si around 13kW and everything up can blow this fuses. and i'm not counting some lights inside......
+george911751 should be pretty close to the truth :) thanks for the info. it is always fun to get some more knowledge about stuff like this. I have heard some other awesome soft start motors that hums like a dream but not the way these sounded. I am so happy I still had these sounds recorded since I don't live there anymore and cannot run the fans again. it was very nice to see you on my channel good sir
yeah there nice...and where did they come from, because i might want either 1/one or some, but maybe in a cw version/type or so instead of ccw...well depending on how I'm gonna use it
I can’t answer where these originally comes from. I moved in to this place in 1993 and they were pretty old even then and I could not find any model numbers on them either now it is about 15 years ago I moved away from this place but they still sit there and looks pretty much the same waiting to spin up their mighty rotors ones again
@@Pulverrostmannen ah i see. Ok, and its ok. Hey...maybe i could find out where this is and maybe like see them...and or get in contact with the owner
Lennon Groover it’s easy where they are. But you need to get to Sweden to check them out
@@Pulverrostmannen so like, it's like easy to ask for them...or get to them. to see? because I'm in bham al
Lennon Groover good question, I don’t know the new owner of that place at all so I can’t really ask directly if that would be ok
The motors don't have power going to then but they still sound cool
they don't really make any sounds in the wind, the recording of this sound was made a pretty long time back and are the real thing these fans sounded like, I just wanted to have a video how they look and recorded them and put the recording I had to the proper fan
Pulverrostmannen oh thanks
Oh so #2 works???🤔🤔🤔
What's the work of these fans?Drying Hay? Or grain?
Benny MühlenGaunerMeister Their purpose was to dry hay :)
I have two of those hay drying fans
The blue one is here on my Channel too
It's diameter is 80 centimetres and 10 hp Electric motor
Do you still have those two Fans? If you don’t need them anymore I would buy them
How moist?
...sounds like those special computer controlled motors
So the wind was blowing the fans in the video?
That’s correct. Since the fans were powerless when I filmed them I had to pick a windy day and do it. The audio is a recording I made way back in time when I still lived at the place as a kid. I was always amused by the sound they made
Why are they not used anymore?
The barn was taken out of use and we moved away. I don’t live there anymore since almost 15 years now. But they still sit there. And maybe some new owner gonna use them sole day
looks like it's from Fallout 4
This sound is annoying more than baby crying sound
Imagine neighbors try to sleep 💀
Then imagine that these fans could be heard easily at a 5km distance when they were running. While my bedroom was just 50meters away from them
Where are the switches to these fans?
The switches was mounted at the side of the barn a bit below the first fan in the video
Can I have one for my dell optiplex 2002 laptop?
Who knows lol. You may need a slight modification to fit them however
What motor is this fan using pls reply
It’s a 3-phase induction motor. It’s a brushless motor so to speak
Me too I have two metal fans
Jeff Grant nice!
keep away form fan is highspeed.
What were they used for
They were used to dry hay in a barn after it was freshly harvested. There was air canals under the floor that led into two big tunnels each fan blew air into that distributed the air evenly under the hay and they were run 24/7 until the hay was dry enough for long storage
It is so scary!
in a good way ;)
Is that a 1 phase motor or 3 phase motor
3-phase power dude!
@@Pulverrostmannen oh
wonder what it'd sound like with a 1 phase motor
Also how many hp is that fan
How old are the two fans
not sure how old they actually are but the first time I saw these fans was back in 1993 and they were not new then either and looked pretty much the same as today lol, kinda stuck in time them fans, not sure if there is anyone left that knows the age of them either
These are 13.75a fans
They pulled a ton of amps for sure. I remembered that only one could be reliably used at a time because if both ran at the same time the main fuses blew if you so much turn your read light on at the same time
WHAT BRAND OF THIS FAN
I don’t know what brand they are unfortunately
YES
OH OPPS I DID NOT KNOW YOU DON’T KNOW THE BRAND OF THIS FAN
How come they are powerless? You should take the motors and try powering it up. Maybe they work. Or just take the entire fan down.
I am very sure the motors still works. But the reason they are powerless is that no one has lived at this farm for a very long time now and I also don’t live there anymore so it makes me unable to touch them as well. But maybe some day they can roar for someone again
Pulverrostmannen ahh ok. They looks very expensive. But thx for telling me.
D and F Garage no problem :) They were likely a lot expensive yes. But they are old. Not sure at all how old they actually are. But in the mid 90s they still looked the same as now. Amazing I think :)
Pulverrostmannen yes. Bye now🙂

@@Pulverrostmannen Thank you for your passion for "Sound of Machines".
Why don't you connect it a power supply
Computer Fixes 1024 it's because I don't live at that farm anymore and it's abandoned since long so no power are available any longer because of that unfortunately
Oh! Okay Because if I were you I would take out the fan connect to my house's power supply.
Computer Fixes 1024 ha ha that would be something, problem is that a normal household supply likely would not be enough for the regular fuses to handle. They need to have about 3x32 amps fuses to start up and even for operation booth fans could not be used at the same time without the fuses would blow lol. Hungry fans they were but I loved the sound of them
Thanks for the info
Why were these fans powered up?
the sound recording was made way way way back in time and I did it because I loved the sound so much and wanted to be able to keep it on my computer so that I could listen to it whenever I wanted to so I just fire them up a short moment that time to make the recordings, and now for more than 10 years this place has been abandoned leaving the recording very handy to make this video and share the sound they gave and the video was recorded 2 years ago before I post this video and they only spin by the wind here. but their real purpose was to dry hay in the barn during summer :)
and the barn is now disused?
TheComputerGeek010101001 Yeah, the whole farm, house and everything been empty for 10 years now

watch up for your fingers ;)
Mohammad Zeid He he, these fans have not been operational for years. they were used on a farm to dry hay back when I was a kid. I just had the luck to record the sounds before the farm was abandoned :)

Both sounds awesome in their own way. Personally I like the first best
Подшипники менять надо.
That fan motor should not be outside that building, because it can be so rusty that the motor can stop working
Fredrik Håen protection is always good. lets see, I seen those fans on that wall since 1993 now and the fans are way older than that. as I remember they have not changed much over that time. it is soon 10 years ago I moved away from there now and kinda the whole place is falling apart so the rusty old fans are prolly the best working things on that place now i'm afraid, if they had power that is. I only have the old recordings I made before we moved away now from that time with these cool sounding motors
Who is a fan of this 😂😂
I am ;D
Needs WD 40 :)
Technically WD40 is not really a lubricant :P

Yes indeed
Was a good video until the music was added....
The music was just a preview. Either way the good video would have ended before the music part if there was no music anyway. So the main part would be no more and no less. It’s all I got about these fans from way past times
what the fuck that fan is in bad shape
lol, could be, but since 1993 when I first saw these fans until like 10 years ago they booth sounds the same and kinda looks the same also, but I am not sure if they work proper these days as the place been abandoned for years now
WTF ! bad fan lol
