I bet the cast stator probably shattered from that fall, so it's probably been melted down at a scrapyard.

Makes you wonder what hit it, or if it's bracket's rusted so much as to fall off the pole.

Yeah, you'll want everything in your circuit to able to handle the current draw, or else you'll be creating a huge fire hazard. Will this cord do good? The only problem is I do not know if I should buy it or not because the amount of amps it can handle is not listed. https://blueearthsustainable.co...

It appears to be rotating off of a clutch attached to the motor shaft, which explains the speed and weird pitch warbling.

Either that, or some dingus hooked it up to vent exhaust gases from the factory or something. If that was the case it'd probably do the job good anyways...

It'd blow it right back into the building, since it's on a port and not the intake.

Looks like a distributor for some of those Chinese sirens to me.

I will also post my pic as well. This is also for sale. And if you are interested you better have your ducks in a row. You can PM me and I can talk to the seller for you. Per request of the seller. Per request, a specific location of this siren will not be released. How much did it go for? If it's ...
