How To Make A Fog Horn - Easy PVC Design
Рет қаралды 1,348,831
9 жыл бұрынHow to make a simple Air Horn. These horns are LOUD! They can be scaled up as I show in the video, but be aware that the bigger you make them the more air they will take to function. Get your free audio book from Audible here: adbl.co/17ujzYW (I finished The Martian, highly recommended)
Parts used for this project (small version):
1"x 1"x 1/2" T Fitting
1" x 1/2" Adapter
1" Plug
6" x 1/2" PVC Pipe
Freezer Bag
Long Funnel (found at auto parts stores)
Parts for large horn:
2"x 2"x 2" T Fitting
2"x 1" Adapter
2" Plug
6" x 1" PVC Pipe
1" Coupling
Freezer Bag
Large Funnel
2"x 1" Reducer
1"x 1/2" Reducer
Both horns are operated using a large manual air pump in the video, though they can also function using compressed air or simply by blowing into the inlet with lung power. #NightHawkInLight

To explain the noise from the 10ft pipe edition; I bet you anything the noise is caused by air going from sonic to supersonic flow. The diaphragm is likely causing compression waves to overlap, compressing the air and causing it to go supersonic.

This horn is essentially the same principal as a reed pipe in a pipe organ. Reed pipes can be as short as 1' or as long as 64'. Generally a 64' pipe (which is very rare) can only be felt. A 32' pipe can both be felt and heard. Today such pipes are mimicked by the use of electronics and speakers because of the excessive cost of such pipes. (hundred thousand dollars or more.) In a reed pipe there is usually a very thin piece of brass with a very slight curve along its length. It rests against the side of an open sided tube with a stopper at the bottom. The reed flexes back and forth against the tube (Shallot) All the rest is virtually the same as your horn.

Curious, would the sound quality of the horn improve if a rubber sheet was used instead of thin plastic? For example, taking a chunk of balloon latex and using that as the diaphragm.
@TheMrByrom 9 жыл бұрын
I have an old army signal horn that works just like this. It has a brass plate for the diaphragm. If too much dust gets in it, I need to clean it to make it work again. I will make a short video to show the inside of it if you want.
@3rdworldtech 9 жыл бұрын
Hey one thing that may help for sound variation is a balloon for deeper sound you have the balloon less stretched out and for higher sound more stretched out
