Air Raid Siren

- My neighbor bought a surplus Air Raid Siren and it has been living in his driveway a few doors down from me for the last year or so. He finally got the power inverter he needed to run it last night. I was in my living room when it started up. Hadn't heard that sound since they tested the sirens in my home town in the 1960's during the Cold War era. It was very surreal to hear that sound. Walked over and took the following video.
It was sitting rusting in a field where it sat after having been cut down from the pole it used to be on. He got it for free and completely restored it. It is a CLM air raid siren.
Cool!
This siren is extremely rare ...
Really? My town has 3 of them
What’s the name of it?
CLM rotating siren
@Joshua Tiberi 24 Its prob just bc Canada is kinda more futuristic, they dont even use steam trains in Canada anymore.
@@guedezzz2362 lol they don't use steam engines really anywhere except for only some places and for railroad museums
That siren is PRICELESS. Congrats on the very rare siren!
One of the last few of these was lost when the building it was on was demolished. We should preserve these beautiful Canadian sirens.
I believe that is this one
@@1000BT No, you moron. The siren that was on that building was destroyed during the demolition. There's even a video of it falling with the building.
Thank you all for the great comments. I spoke with the owner yesterday and he has been putting the final touches on the control board and will run up the siren one last time in a few days. At that time I will be taking my hi-def cameras over to record the event from two angles, plus will interview him about the siren and have him take us on a guided tour of this amazing piece of history. He just finished a full restoration of an old army jeep over the winter, so I'll get shots of that too
Cool. Can’t wait for the video
The siren is a “Rotational CLM”
Canaidian beauty!
Edit just to clarify, this is a clm model 927290P whitch is a canadian made siren
We should have mroe of these in Canada... Most of them got scrapped..... In St.Cathareins we have A siren..... It is a Mobil Driecto.... And it was disconected over 13 years ago...
Thanks for posting this guys loved it! You guys are around my age "46" so I too grew up in the cold war and in the city of London Ontario where there was once alot of CLM's such as yours and a few Allertors but mostly CLM..Then in 1996 they all came down overnight pretty well. I tried to purchase one, but had no luck with the government "crown assets division" who told me they had them in storage, but when I inquired about a purchase? Like most shit with our beloved government I got just ignored
Those would've been B&N Mobil Directos, I don't think there were ever any Allertors in Ontario.
Someone found a storage facility in stitsvile Ontario that is loaded with CLM sirens. He was able to purchase a Omni directionl CLM for 1200$ and may sell it to me.

Wow. My first time hearing a clm run on power!
I'm planning on paying him a visit and taping an interview with him all about this siren. I'll get lots of great close-ups at that time as well :)
I've seen one of those in person on top of car
Sirens of NE Ohio Bluesmobile?
gonna get my ole lady one of those for her birthday.
that's an CLM Siren
We had these on towers all over the city I grew up in and they occasionally went off by accident. That was in the 60's (they were all removed by the early 70's I think) and I remember it being very unnerving... and it scared the shit out of my Mom.
cool it's on it original stand
The back rotor has ten ports but the stator has four. It is the number of rotor ports which determine the pitch. Apparently these were designed as single-tone sirens with the back rotor as an afterthought when Civil Defence mandated dual-tone sirens.
FINALLY I KNOW WHAT ONE SOUNDS LIKE! :) great video
That things a beauty! I'm going to get a fedelcode model 2 at some point.
Jetson Maynard it,s a clm
Jetson Maynard good call.
man that siren hates that mic! great video!
These are VERY Rare Sirens.
Please give me a heads up when you do another vid. Nice restoration work by the way
siren: you spin me round right round...
Creeperboy ha HA SO FuuNy LoL roFl
There are TWO stators with a ratio of 5 to 6 ports to produce the minor third musical interval. The rotor would have 5 and 6 openings.
sounds like a nice v6
Holy moly this is rare
lucky daaaauuuuggggeeee!!!!!!!!!!! i have never heard one alone without a drill on it!
Very Cool, was always intrigued by them since I was a kid thanks for the vid
Nice CLM!
MY FAV SIREN yay
Now it’s my 3rd or 2nd
This siren is an Extremely rare siren!
It is called a CLM Siren.
I've always wanted to see one in person but I e never got to.
Are there any of these still in operation for public areas?
2022 Hey fella's what's up? John...
No idea about the tones, or the speed of rotation. It belongs to my neighbor. I know it took him months to find an inverter (or something) that he said he needed to run it and I think he said he used a step down (or up) transformer for one of the motors. I think it may have been the rotational motor and that would explain why it is spinning as fast as it does. We used to have these in Edmonton when I was a kid and I heard them go off occasionally by accident.
Hry, if its loud, works... i have nothing to complain about thumbs up.
ya know we do get tornadoes up here and yet have very little warning E.g. Vaughn in 2009.
perhaps that might be a good use for that siren? just a thought
Btw good restoration job!
Goderich, 2011
Oh. Thank you. Correct. The rotor determines how many pressure releases (bursts) per revolution. Typical 3,450 RPM = 57.5 Revolutions Per Second time 10 = 575 Hz. Less efficient if rotor and stator openings do not match.
That explains it. CD wanted dual tone.
rotational CLM?! WOW!!!
The rear stator has 4 ports but the rotor still has 10.
Did he just say "eh" in the video? LOL EPIC!!!
because the owner completely restored it. he also has a WW2 army jeep that looks like it just rolled off the assembly line :)
can you rev it up all the way? and my mom remembers hearing them she lived right next to the border of canada in qubec
Very shiny CLM
its a canadian clm siren ara was about 1950s 1960s i would love to see it be reved up thats prob one of the last ones that work.
Wow, it took a long time for me to find a clm siren!
This is in Calgary, AB as stated in the title. This is actually my stepdads and it's fixed in the driveway beside the house. He got it for free actually, since it was rusting away in a field after cut down years back. He's planning on getting 220v hooked up properly to have both tones run properly. It'll probably be a bit before we get a video up of that, the mans got more projects than he knows what to do with! Haha
Broadmoor Institution needs one of these.
Lol the blues brothers loudspeaker
The Blues Brothers had this thing on their car!
Yeah, huh? Even though it is on low power. :) Much better than the -nothing- or nearly nothing we've had of these sirens until now, huh?
very nice siren
i just noticed the rectangular shape on the top is either an intake or a projector for sound, idk which tho...
K
Surprised that it rotates so fast.
Why is the lower tone not very loud?
Should have let it wind down to stop.
yes it does sound like a 3T22/2T22
Just need the Blues Mobile now :D
i have fell in love
Sounds close to a Carter so the CLM is just a rotary Carter siren?
Or a 2T22/3T22
I hope there’s some place for him to run it on full power
CReepy looking siren
what is the decibel ratings for these?
Josh Burger 125db at 100ft
If it's loud enough, you can hear it on the Moon!
The Blues Brothers siren!!!
Looks like a rocket next to this siren
I hope that I can convince my neighbor to spin it up on Canada Day this year. I think he's worried about noise complaints from the neighbors if he were to run it again anytime soon. I'll set up my proper camera and mics and get a better recording next time when I get the chance :)
No, I'm sure if he let it run for very long a complaint would be filed and he'd get a fine :)
That was big
THAT'S A CLM 😲
almost like an allertor
Where did u find that siren? u know it's old, before the ACA Allertor was made.
do full power with rotation
holy shit thats loud
You can run a 210 volt off the dryer, I think
I would say an electric range plug
Where did you get this?
I am certain that this is a different person and a different siren :)
What city/town is this in?
That’s a CLM Rotational siren
Only found in canada.
The CLM.
There is a rumor that one was shipped to Australia.
Oh, and a few are still in service actually!
@@jayjensen3241Really?
Next time I shoot video of the siren, I'll get close-ups of the number plates etc and get the owner to talk about how he got it all set up to work again :)
Wuh? How many SHOULD it have?
4 ports would produce 232 Hz = slightly flat Bb3
10 ports 580 Hz = slightly flat D5
Its been restored..............
THAT THINGS LLLOOOUUUDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it's a rotating CLM air raid siren.
CLM's ran on 550V triple phase motors there is no way in hell that thing is anywhere near full speed, at full speed they vibrate every atom in your body and we're compared as the "Electric Chrysler Siren".
+That guy named ben If you listen it isn't on full power.
+Edaan Friedman I know trust me I've heard them as a kid ;)
You did get the odd 240v one and I believe this is a 240V version
Mr.Someone \Tom/
It still sounds good and you're correct there had been a minimal production of 240's from what I understand.
*****
Agreed
Sound clips of this siren at the beginning & end:
www.cbc.ca/archives/entry/cold-war-tocsin-b-this-is-not-an-emergency
wow
does youtube user wiifire8 own this by chance?
Hey, can you do me a favor? Ask him where he got it, how much it cost and what type of siren it is please
My name is Bentley
That's a Fucking CLM!
I want one! Where did you get it?
Could you make another video soon on it running?
Sadly, that's not likely. It's the property of my neighbor, so I have no control over that. Plus, running the siren could get him in trouble as it is SO loud and is in a highly populated area :) If he ever does, I'll do my best to get an excellent video with my newer HD camera.
Where did you get it, and why did you pay for it?
a CLM siren is use for air raid
that's called a CLM
Is that a siren in the background too?
How much did he get it for? 500,000
That thing looks small.
sounds like a ferrari acceleration from 0:57 to 1:01
This video doesn't even tell half of the story about how loud the siren is :)
It's a clm siren
I hope u guys wearing ear protection ;)
