Thats my home city! I'd always see the Thunderbolt when going to the Library there. This is also the 1st time a recording of that 2001 was made. I'd never seen the inside of the blower running. Nice Video!
very cool, also amazing that the thunderbolt isn't going anywhere, because if all the thunderbolts on earth were being shipped off to be destroyed or something, this guy would do everything in his power to keep it there, i'm sure.
Cool! I kinda thought they would do it this month! Also, of the 1st or 2nd Wednesday of October they have a firefighters event called “the great escape” and they sound the siren off then!
Starting point is at a 2001-130 then ends here at a Thunderbolt 1000 is he checking the sound coverage of this one to see if another 2001-130 is needed here
@@Siren1000T1 Motor rewinding is a process that can help in the repair of shorted, grounded or damaged coils in a motor. A motor rewind means that a coil is rewound and reinstalled for the necessary armatures or other components. The goal is to get the motor back to functioning at its optimal level. in the case of sirens, a motor rewind would help increase the strength of the electrical connections. This would mean a higher pitch, even on the same voltage
@@TheSleepyMechanic0524 That is excellent info you provided. I remember James was telling me that the siren sounded lower than usual for level 7 and I actually thought it was the amount of voltage it was using.
@@Siren1000T1 that is also a possibility, could be on 208 for all we know. But I figured with it being installed in 1960, the chopper motor could use a refurb
Wow boy oh boy I live near one of them and they are very nice to have them because they can warn you that some thing is wrong but I feel sorry for the little girl or the little boy that has to hear them because they are scary and loud noises can be scary sincerely Shannon
@thunderbolt siren 1003 Siren enthusiasts claim that 5Ms are the loudest of the blowers, but I'm not sure if that's true or not. 5Ms would make the chopper louder than 6Ms or 4Ms due to producing the most amount of CFM of air.

I'm amazed that there was a perfect 600hz out of that siren, because that means the motor was perfectly in sync with the AC cycle just by chance!

Such a cool perspective recording! This is amazing! Do more of these this is just so immersive and cool!
Thanks for filming this again! And I greatly appreciate the fact that you filmed the blower on its own, about time there's a video of that published.
Now we need a 6M blower by itself lol
@@STLMetroSirensMain amen. An updated one at least
@@thespiritstingray9359 Indeed we do :), Do you have discord.
@@STLMetroSirensMain ruclips.net/video/IbkVQgk1ro4/видео.html&ab_channel=murrfarms Does this not count?
@@Siren1000T1 well the motor is running at a higher speed, but yes it counts
Dude that's so cool! Thanks for uploading it!!!
I’m very happy you got to see it, I also got to see it for myself in April, same guy. Nice Video man.
Nice! Very few vids of the 5M blower by itself, very appreciated!
Why does the 5M look almost exactly like a 4M?
@@natedog6898 the 5M is a little bigger.
NICE RASP. Gotta love that 5m blower
Awesome! I wish my town still had 5M 1000s.

That ambiance tho
That's a nice drive by siren test video.
Wow very cool! thanks for sharing!
Awesome! I went to a 5M 1000 today, which, coincidentally, sounds exactly like this!
no coincidence this is a 5m 1000 too

Yeah I remember Chris was telling me that.
@@Siren1000T1 great!
Its such a bummer that's not a "T", but at least Northville is keeping up on maintenance on it!
I live right next to a tornado siren in Northville, good stuff

That chopper motor needs rewound, it supposed to be significantly higher pitched than it is on level 7.
I've heard of rewound before but could you explain what that means in siren terms?

Or it only gets 208V power instead of 240V. That does have an effect on how much power goes to the chopper
Hey Dan you should try filming the Wales Township Thunderbolt1000BT sometime it’s reactivated
Awesome

but this 5M blower matches the same size of the belt pulley sizes.
That’s sick
huh. never knew that 1000s use 5M blowers.
Nice

Mostly same design but bigger than a 4M.
@@Siren1000T1 does that make them louder?

@@Siren1000T1 I've heard a 4M, 5M, and 6M 1000. The 5M was actually the quietest, but that's probably because it's missing the top two horn bolts.
@@kansasclocksandsirens I kinda was thinking 6Ms were the quietest.
Awesome
