@@user-nx7fr3qp3v It’s just a siren. It’s there to save lives, not to be loved by an enthusiast. You can clearly see this thing is on its last legs. It needs to be replaced no matter what you say. Think about all the people that live near this thing that has nothing but cell alerts as an alternative method which is one of, if not, the worst method to be alerted. Keep complaining all you want but this thing has to go. It’s just a siren.

@zachzebra567 күн бұрын
Wow this blower is gotten so much worse. Its probably gonna call it quits within a year. And it sucks too cause this is the last hurricane installed on a system in the U.S. from what im hearing, a new T-128 is gonna be put up at the ASC headquarters not far from here which I knew about. They are gonna keep using this siren until the blower finally dies. Which then they will take it down. Also nice warnings before siren activation btw lol!
@zachzebra567 күн бұрын
Nice video of this legendary siren! I was out getting the ambience of the Greenfield park P-50 which acually did both alert and attack this time! I figured this was likely its last test on the system before it gets replaced. I was actually surprised that it didn't get replaced by now considering the project started back in early July.

what is wrong with the blower anyway, and why the hell doesn't the fire department or whoever fix it
@zachzebra567 күн бұрын
The bearings on either the motor or the blower itself are shot. These hurricane blowers are notorious for eating up all the oil in the bearings. And a lot of these hurricanes including this one unfortunately were never oiled so after years of use, the bearings start to seize up and if not treated asap, the motor windings themselves will be shot and the blower is then dead. These particular sirens are not the most reliable mainly cause of the flaw with the blower. And ACA knew that, as these were only made for a few short years before being discontinued in favor of the P-50's. As to why the countys EMA doesn't simply do preventative maintenance on this siren such as oiling the bearings periodically I'm not sure. They are basically just letting this siren die rather than trying to save this siren. Which sucks because it's the last commercially operating siren in the U.S after Daren Ill's got replaced and the other 2 in Texas were disconnected and later taken down. Hope this answers the questions you have!

From what I was told by another enthusiast, the blower is dying due to increased load. Maybe trying a new LEESON motor (since that's what I believe if not all, most MKII blowers used) and lubricating the Pneumatic unit inside should be worth a shot.
@zachzebra567 күн бұрын
That would definitely fix the blower and ensure the siren would continue to operate reliably for years to come, but knowing how Milwaukee is just gonna let this thing kick it's own bucket, I doubt they are gonna bother doing any of that stuff to the siren.

This siren still runs as it should but its not looking very good.. it's rough, about to die, and even Milwaukee gave up on it as I've heard from some people they're planning to just let this siren die and install a much more modern siren in it's place. This is the last one in history.. I hope to God they fix this thing up despite it's rough status.

Woah hold up, I heard from someone that this siren was part of a separate project that would potentially involve it receiving a thunderbolt blower. Now they are just gonna let this legendary siren fall into disrepair??? I hope they dont do that! Id say someone from SWS comes out and confirms everything about this project so all the rumors can stop creating confusion.

@@zachzebra56 From what I've known so far, that ASC is going to spare this siren from the replacement of the country's siren system, because they are aware that this is the last functioning hurricane130 left.

Thunderbolt sirens are the same way. The only intake they have is through the standpipe to the blower. Those long horns make a difference, otherwise if it did have its own intake including a shorter horn like the 2001 for example, it sounds similar to about the volume. May that be a reminder that it is a rotating siren and that the siren is supposed to project the sound outward in the direction its facing. The furthest the siren is away from you, the further the sound waves travel to your ears.
