It still might possibly work, some Thunderbolt blowers were known to be mounted vertically, like Mineola's loaner 1003.HDN wrote: ↑Thu May 02, 2024 1:01 amA few appropriately-sized grade 5 or 8 bolts should be able to keep most sirens attached to their structure upside-down no problem.Greenrid wrote: ↑Wed May 01, 2024 7:36 pmIn theory, it could be possible to mount a simple siren upside down. You would need very strong bolts, and depending on the size of the siren you might need even longer bolts or extra reinforcement. Gravity would be pulling the siren down just the same as if it were mounted right side up, to it could be done. If you're talking Thunderbolt or P-50 levels, even if you somehow pulled off mounting it successfully upside-down, it still might break, as they aren't made to be upside down and some components couldn't work properly!
I kinda doubt that a Thunderbolt blower can operate upside down because of the way oil likely flows around the rotors to keep everything lubricated. Try running any car engine upside-down and see what happens with the engine oil - I imagine the same awful thing might happen to an upside-down roots blower!
