Fuel consumption: decibel per liter/gallon
😆
😂
Chrysler is working on a Cummins diesel version that is uses 30% less fuel per decibel....
Like Harleys
@@KingBanter bahaha dead .
Dodge be like: Let's hellcat swap it
know what yeah if anyone will get v8 powered siren i would find an helliphent engine and swap it and see how loud it can get.
@@WilliamHollinger2019 Ah, so you have chosen deaf.
@@THEGREATMEMEWIZARD lmao
Puts a fucking supercharger on it.
That supercharger would whine like a siren...
A fuel to noise converter. An intentional this time.
Lool that's called a 2 stroke Detroit diesel
@@ethan12313 Those are not intentional.
@@haukesattler446 If they powered it with a detroit diesel, it wouldn't make any noise, they would cancel each other out and be completely silent! LOL
It literally turned fog into rain?! That’s freakin incredible. Great video.
What really?! That’s incredible I didn’t know that.
@@CreatorCade the sound waves jostle the droplets and they converge until they're too heavy and fall. Amazing to think about. Wish there was a way to see it irl
They were some reeeally powerful sirens. Unsurprisingly, standing in front of the horns can kill a person from the shockwave.
@@jcb19 I don't believe so, didn't edaan stand in front of this siren?
@@Sipex6484 probably not at full power.
I quote " There isn't a thing an American man cannot build with a v8 attached to it."
Understatement if the Millennia.
Jokes apart, Thanks bro, I was already into cars and now you are turning me into a engine freak. 😂❤
Same
I saw a video of a guy that put one on a riding mower . So absolutely correct .
"Why Americans made a 5.4L V8 siren"
*WHY NOT?*
Thanks Visio! Never knew this thing even existed :)
Where I live in south east England, there are still air raid sirens in use and tested regularly, which were from WW2, and it’s a very sobering sound when you hear them. Of corse, we know they’re only being tested, but still it puts shivers down your spine. Interesting different video VR! Top work as always bro
I am terrified of tornadoes. My friend lives in tornado alley here in the USA. I visited him one summer for the first time. While he was in the shower and I was still in a Twilight half-awake state, the god damn tornado sirens started going off outside. I freaked out for like 20 seconds until I was outside and could see that there was nothing but clear weather all around us. He got out of the shower and I said "THE SIRENS?!?!" He just laughed and said "Oh yeah, it's the 3rd Wednesday of the month. That's when they test them." Spookiest thing that had happened to me in a long time. 🤣
At least its not Stuka Siren
We do the same in Slovenia too. Every first saturday of the month at noon, all the sirens are being tested for a minute or so.
Similar here in Finland, they’re tested at the first monday every month at about 9 am
we use them to tell the time here lol. People that move to the area, usually have a significant emotional event shortly there after.
Rumor has it, you could still hear the hemi tick over the horn.
Dispersal of Fog - wow. That was unexpected. Great content 👍
Soundwaves to condense fog. That's only a tiny fraction of what's been done. ruclips.net/video/ZH_Skm-OkZs/видео.html
@@exothermal.sprocket I have saved the video to watch later.
Thanks for posting the link 👍
I have always been intrigued by air-raid sirens, but a two ton hemi and horn spinning around on a roof top!?
That's just awesome!
I was nodding and going "Oh that's cool" while the video was being explained, somehow Visio finds the most interesting stuff to share with us. Very intellectual up to that point, but that sound clip at the end? Chills and goosebumps as the siren revved up.
Check out this version: ruclips.net/video/IAMiTfSU7ZA/видео.html
V8 is the solution for everything! 🤣
We had one at Cerro Negro, a peak North of Glendale, California. Once a month on a Thursday at 11AM the air raid system was tested. Our local electric powered one would sound off then quit. But 25KM away, the Chrysler Bell was still running. It was a scary haunted sound. The unit is still up there inside a fenced off area. It was on a turntable that rotated slowly while the siren was engaged. When the manufacturer first built the hemi version, it was tested inside a wooden building. I read where the sound pressure was so high that it set fire to parts of the wooden walls.
I have wanted one of these since I was a kid, such an awesome machine.
This must be one of the most 'murican thing I've ever seen...
Awesome! That sort of decibel level is physically dangerous~
Another VisioRacer win for crazy engine powered things I never knew existed! Awesome!
They used a lot of Chrysler/Dodge motors if I remember correctly. My neighborhood had a HUGE air-raid siren in a corner of a hilltop ballfield, on Arlington Ave. and Sterling Street, in Mt. Oliver, Pittsburgh. It had a 'base building', then a large open metal frame going up about 4 floors. Then there was a walk-around platform with the sirens (and their big V8 in a housing) mounted on it. Everything was painted a uniform grey, it looked like it belonged on a military airbase. The horns were about 8ft. long and opened to about 4ft. I researched this and saw lots of variations in size on the basic design, but most used multiple rectangular horns.
We used to play ball on the field in whose corner it sat, and I would often stare upwards at it, like standing beneath a sleeping dragon, remembering how loud that thing was when it was lit off. From that hilltop, it overlooked the mills on the South Side (pronounced 'SahSide') and the southern side of "The Golden Triangle". But because of the 'lay of the land' it could be heard for miles, even north of downtown (prounced 'dahntahn'). Every Monday morning at (I think) 7am, they would fire that thing up and the sound was incredible. My house was further down on the hill but only about 200 yards away. The sound could be FELT! I was born in '56, so this is late-fifties here. Then they dismantled it sometime in the late 60s. History.
If this is the 50's you are probably talking about the thunderbolt Siren. It was known for being loud and having a big horn. Though the siren mechanism is small, the roots blower pumps air to the siren mechanism, making it loud.
Americans response for sirens: V8
Americans response for fuel consumption: diesel V8
Where i live we have an old air raid siren on top of the oldest building in town. They test it every few years.
That's awesome they still use it!
@@rustyjeep2469 I dont know if its a crystler one but its some old engine one.
There were a few other engine-powered sirens tested then; I don't know how many made it into production. One used a Ford flathead V-8 to run the blower, and a 20 HP Wisconsin to run the chopper assembly; yet another was an odd duck; it used the exhaust gas from a Chrysler flathead six as the pressure source, and some kind of electric motor drive for the chopper.
Very nice informational video! It's nice that you used a clip of my video too lol! The one I recorded is from Rochester New York and was installed in 1955. There used to be two of them but the second one was removed a long time ago, My guess is that it was on the city hall. They were put in because Rochester had a TON of big companies there back then, Including Sterling which is another siren manufacturer from the 20th century!
You know someone's looking at this and thinking "Hellcat swap."
Turbine is the way to go
"There isn't a thing that an American man could not make work with a v8 hooked up to it" dude you could not have been more true 🤣
Supercharged Hellcat swap: adds up more km's of range thus giving 100 more decibels and higher pitch from the blower
Clarkson took this to the next level with the V8 powered kitchen food blender and the V8 powered rocking chair.
Great inventions, to be sure! But have you seen Colin Furze's JET-POWERED KETTLE?
I've seen 1 of these before but I love hearing the motor rev up and the sirens overpower the motor
I remember seeing one of these on Ebay when I was maybe 15. I was smitten from then on. Cheers on another great video, Visio!
This has Jeremy Carlkson written all over it lol
Yep; he should be able to bellow "POWER!!!" over the 138 dB of this thing!
@@craigmclean8260 I think he did make a V8 powered blender on Top Gear.
Years ago when working for an auto electric shop I had the opportunity to restore a 12-volt siren. It was probably installed on a fire engine. This one had been posted on a building, assumedly a fire station. After I restored it, and hooked the jumper cables to a car battery, it almost blew out my eardrums. It is a gorgeous thing, with a big Chrome horn. The owners didn't want to pay the bill, so I inherited it. I hope to put it on eBay someday, someone who is restoring a fire engine from the 40s or 50s needs this siren!
No one:
Americans: oh look, a microwave LET'S PUT A 5.4 L V8 IN IT
The Chrysler sirens were the loudest sirens ever made on record. It's scary to think that they produce so much sound pressure out of the front of them that legend has it that grass can actually catch fire if it's right in front of it. The second loudest siren produced is electric and is powered by a 50 horsepower electric motor. Multiple examples of this electric siren are still up and running
I really like these documentary style videos about one particular subject. I’d love to see more of them sprinkled in with your bread and butter.
Glad to hear that, mate
@@VisioRacer happy to comment! I wonder if maybe you’d be willing to remaster some of your older text videos, because I love watching videos that I can just listen to while I do some work, and I think they’d benefit greatly from your voiceover! In any case, I really enjoy this channel, and you’ve taught me and so many others so much random interesting shit that I never would’ve found otherwise. Great work!
@@uzaiyaro Thanks a lot!
Ah yes converting fuel to sound. Just like a Harley
At the time the loudest electric driven siren was the federal signal thunderbolt , capable of only 130 decibels at 100 feet, it used a 1 horsepower electric motor to spin the chopper and a 20 horsepower electric motor to drive a Roots blower which fed directly to the chopper
Excellent video!! This was really entertaining to watch!
I wouldn’t get too excited it was a hemi. Tiny 2 bbl carb for probably 150 hp, if that. Remember, this was an industrial engine, not hi-po!
hi viso thx for the vids the last few seconds of this vid spooked my cat shes under the table looking worried lolol
My cat didn't like the sound either!😾🤣 Great video though.👍🏼
When our town did its once-monthly storm siren test this last Wednesday, the low howl of the 8-port Sentry sirens they use here got both our cats extremely nervous!
It’s main use was tornado siren as well.
Still used in some small towns in the southern states.
Great content as always, Visio Racer, RUclips's tide rises when you post, my friend.
This could be used as the basis of the ultimate alarm clock - imagine waking up to this each morning
The pool hall in dawsonville needs one of these for when Chase Elliott wins a race
A damn air raid siren has more power than most Hondas
Awsome vid, thanks!
I have a friend from USA, he has an automatic doors, which are powered by supercharged LS3, world's fastest and quickest automatically opening doors!
"How to make a V8 louder"
Bing: *yes*
just think, these were mounted atop very tall buildings an were set on rotating platforms to maximize the sound coverage of the warning,
some could be started up by the voltage of a phone line thru relays an solenoids then ran with nobody present, ive heard one an i dont have much to say besides, ( DUCK COVER WAIT )
Someone, somewhere, is doing an LS conversion to one as we watch this video.....
LS motors are cheap, civil defence might need them.
Hey Johnny, wanna come and hide from the air attack?
Nah, I gotta stand outside and drive the siren man, wish me luck
Clarkson: Our battle will be legendary!!!
That sound widens your eyes and wakes you up
they shoulda had made siren powered V8 that just made amplified burble noises of guzzling to make truly deafening sound of freedom
Wow, even my speaker vibrated as hell!!!
138dB at 30m is really stupid loud. That guy at the end with only a pair of muffs is in a pretty dangerous spot.
This is like one of clarksons V8 inventions. Blender, rocking chair and siren
Efficiency to be expressed in decibel seconds per gallon. 😂
That's neat! I came in expecting the 5.4L Triton though, haha. Didn't know Chrysler made one
V8 powered blender: Finally a worthy opponent, Our battle will be Legendary!
Wow.. Cool video
Casually shows Don Garlits with an air raid siren and doesn't mention it.
I can remember back when I was a kid in the 60s, getting so creeped out when they would do weekly tests on the air raid sirens.
Sounds like a V8 with a comically huge supercharger on top! 😜🤘😎
In England we still have some WW2 air raid sirens being used today. There's a nuclear sub base near me (too near for my liking) and they use one to warn of a nuclear leak/accident.
I heard it go off once, luckily it was a malfunction..
Couldn't imagine to hear it goes off in the neighbourhood. Residence and military facilities doesn't sound like a good match.
One of these is located on a small mountain called Cerro Negro lookout near LA, And that particular siren could be heard on Catalina island some 95 km away from it's position taking the sound nearly 5 minutes to reach.
the 3rd generation Chrysler Air Raid Siren can be heard during the annual Great Los Angeles Air Raid of 1942 reenactment, at full power
SO LOUD AND INEFFICIENT!! I LOVE IT!!!!
It's kinda smart when it comes down to it, if the power is out at least you still have a chance of starting that engine.
Simply amazing! 😍
The Chrysler bell siren has always been one of my favorites because of the haunting sound and the hemi
YES FINALLY A CAR CHANNEL VIDEO ON THISSS
When a horn has more torque than a Honda Civic engine
1:47
V8 powered children's swing. The children could be heard screaming 25kms away.
so , let's swap an 2jz gte in it!
imagine its turbocharged and lagging
wonder how it sounds when the boost hits
Oh wow. We had one of these in my local town in the boonies but they used it for tornado warnings.
V-8 engine makes Everything better!
Could do a video on koeninseggs new camless engines .With pneumatic valve “springs “
You made my day.
Now I would like to see a rotary swap
Loudest air raid siren ?
Hold my beer, and pass the Taco Bell.
Someone should sneak into Beverly Hills at 4am with one of these things and let er' rip. lol
@ 3:17 Don Garlits digging his out of storage for a blower installation.
Nobody:
That one civic at 3am: 3:40
Its all fun and games until the siren starts shooting
This is probably the most Americana cold war device ever.
I was waiting for the beat to drop at the end
i know of a few people that need that directly next to their ears to wake up... and they probably still wouldn't!....
“MOPAR OR NO CAR”
Imagine if the power came from a V8 Hellcat motor making 800 horsepower! lmaooooo
Would also make for a good car alarm
That siren screams freedom with its big ass V8, most american thing i've seen in a while
Remember seeing this on Robbie Coltranes engines series some years ago
3:55 someone is shitting their pants in the woods thinking that air raid is coming ahhahahaha
What every vehicle needs,, 😂❣
Cheers, thanks and take care VR,, 🍻😎👍!!
There is still one in Phinney Ridge in Seattle Washington in perfect restored condition
Most of them have been removed and one of them the city f up and let one slip into private hands this year and he wont give it back because legally its his salvage and he is keeping it in a shed.
thats some crazy rpms yo
Watching this as an American who just got done working on my V8 swapped mini truck
Knock knock
HERE'S YOUR FUEL RATION THIS MONTH, SIR, MA'AM. WE NEED THE FUEL SO WE CAN WARN EVERYONE IN THIS TOWN.
this is why them dam McDonalds ice cream machines always breaking; they dont have a hemi hooked up to it to mix the ice cream
Well done video! I still prefer my Federal Signal 2t22A - now an active tornado siren. It's 10-port rotor/stator and 12-port rotor/stator emit musical notes D5 and F5 creating a perfect (pure) minor third musical interval and a Bb2 resultantone.
You should film one sounding off.
@@Sipex6484 It was videoed and posted on RUclips. Forgot his name.
@3:37 it's mounted to a Ford because it doesn't need to go anywhere
