Looking for small projects

[asleepz]

Hey all, I'm just getting into sirens and horns and I was wondering what kind of small projects could I go about doing? Any suggestions on models I could afford (mind you I'm a 17 yr. old senior in high school)?

Just really wanted to introduce myself to the crowd.

Thanks!

Welcome to the board. As for some small stuff, buying a actual siren, I'd say any Truck Horn with nothing else (if you have a compressor/air tank), or something like a Federal Signal PA300 off of Ebay.

I've got one of those portable air tanks from the auto parts store (5 gallon) and I have a small porter cable compressor to fill it up.

I believe I'm going to drift more of the way of sirens though. Having a fire truck or just plain large horn in my truck sure would be nice though. I've got a 2006 Chevy truck with the V6. More under the hood room than I've ever seen in a car.

Hi and welcome to the board. What I'm proposing wouldn't be a small project per se but it would be interesting to do anyways...

Make a small and crude disc siren . The rotor would be a flat, smooth piece of material w/ a few evenly spaced holes; make a stator w/ just one hole that lines up with the holes on the disc rotor. Find some blown air, like from an exhaust port from a vacuum, or electric leaf blower. Attach a horn to the hole on the stator and a motor to the rotor.
