That prototype is the coolest thing! I love how they have a mounting platform similar to the Cyclone (on a steel pole too!). I wonder if that was actually installed somewhere, I haven't seen any pictures of one in the wild. And that motor really gets going!

It probably was installed somewhere. But I'm guessing it is gone by now. I actually noticed some differences between the Prototype P-50 and the usual P-50's that you see today.
1. The rotating frame on the P-50 in the video is rectangular instead of the usual triangular shape that you see on todays P-50's.
2. The thing on the back that is connected to the motor cover is shaped differently a little.
3. The little ring that helps to hold the screen and the 2 pieces of the horn together is a bit different. Now on some P-50's that I have seen, they have that same ring design on them. Even the illustrated P-50 in the manual shows that ring design.

What is that second picture from? It could actually be the same siren as seen in the video...
I have an unhealthy obsession with mini sirens.

It was from Colony TX. And no the P-50 in the 2nd picture is not the one in the video.

Are those Penetrators possibly the ones at the Excelon plant being installed?

What do you guys want to bet that both of these two 'clones have coding mechanisms? These ones I believe also have smaller 40HP motors in them.

The 120 on top definitely has a damper on it. You see how there is extra wiring going to the intake area? Im not sure about the 2nd 120 though since I don't see any wiring going to the intake.

Well, it appears a certain "somebody" didn't want to play nice and pulled the first video. I knew it was going to happen. Let's just say that I... planned ahead. You're welcome.

I spoke with him earlier. The reason the video was pulled was because Biersach still has his team of lawyers who would love to sue due to a copywrite infringement. While he wanted to give us a taste, he did not want to get in any trouble. Post these at your own risk.
