What siren has the most horsepower?

[CrazyForThunderbolts]

I had a question, what siren has the biggest motor or horsepower. And NOT including the Chrysler air raid siren, because that has a V8. I'm guessing the :P50: has the most horsepower. But if not what siren does have the most horsepower.

Chrystler's were 180 HP. And P-50's and also Cyclone's are 50 HP. Same also goes with HOR Super Sirex sirens.

Yeah, P-50/Cyclone for sure. Chrysler wins overall at 180, which is low for a V-8 engine today.

I thinks most Super Sirex are 40 HP.

The one in Madison WI is 50 HP. I would also go to this post here regarding the HOR Super Sirex series: https://airraidsirens.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=6154

True. :P50: is my favorite by far. Wish I could see one.

Well Wisconsin (Milwaukee and Kenosha) has 36, Illinois (Chicago area) has about 25, and Texas (mainly Dallas) has at least 15. Those are your top three states to find a P-50. My profile pic as you see is a P-50 itself. I found this map of almost all shown nationwide: https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewe ... Ts2a8DEUxA

By the way I would NOT recommend using emojis it just looks more proffesional if you just type out P-50 rather than the P-50 emoji. I learned not to use them myself. Haha.

Thanks for the tip.

The Super Sirex was introduced by the H.O.R. Company Inc. around 1951. They were made in-house and simply used whatever motors were in stock at the time. As a result, they seem to go back and forth between 40 or 50 horsepower. The single tone 9-9 port dual head Super Sirex pumps out 125-128 decibels at 100 feet. Very good quality sirens, but they were held back due to the limited mounting setups available - they could not be pole-mounted and always had to go on tower platforms. Unfortunately they could not keep up sales against the Federal Thunderbolt and Biersach & Niedermeyer Mobil Directo. Very late examples were being made after H.O.R. Company Inc. had been sold to an as-yet unidentified outfit in Arizona.

There was also a 7-10 port dual tone version which gives a very grating Augmented 4th interval (sometimes known as a Tritone, not to be confused with actual triple tone sirens). This was not so effective at long range despite the menacing sound.

I did some research and besides Wisconsin there's actually 18 in Illinois, 15 in Texas, and 4 in Memphis TN. The old ones at Exelon in Illinois I figured out were all replaced.
