You can really hear the current draw of that blower. Listen to that 2T (wondering if anyone else's lights went dim?!). Nevertheless it sounds great!TrainsAndSirens1 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 08, 2018 2:23 amRecorded on March 7, 2018. This is a video of my Thunderbolt 1000 (single phase model) running full power for its first full run (with blower, no rotator) on the 2018 South Carolina Statewide Tornado Drill. This drill was conduced at 9:00AM ET. Me and my father have been working hard to get it assembled and running for this. It worked!! I got this Thunderbolt 1000 from Brendan Williamson. The blower components, I don't want to give out where they came from yet (it's private for now). This siren can be heard over 10 miles away! I believe this siren is the loudest privately owned fully working Thunderbolt around. This siren's chopper motor had bearings and brushes replaced by Jeb in 2017. Unfortunately, the motor winding/armature have signs of wearing out and won't last forever. This siren was facing to Greenville County actually. All neighbors (who are home on the time of this) heard this siren! One neighbor came here after this test to see what's going on. My father did the full explaining about this and thought it was cool!
*Sirens heard:
My Federal Model 2T-125V (Alert Signal)
My FS 2001-130DC (Alert signal, running on low batteries, was running on a Bluetooth timer.)
No county sirens heard, the nearest county siren doesn't work and another nearest siren is too far to be heard.
