Line 1: Line 1:
Electromechanical sirens generally use a cylindrical, slotted rotor inside of a similar stator. The rotor spins inside the nonmoving stator, causing air to be forced out like a squirrel cage blower. The slots are alternately blocked and opened as the rotor spins, causing vibration and sound.
An '''electromechanical''' siren is a siren that uses an electric motor to drive a spinning rotor, or chopper, inside of a stationary stator. A (usually) equal number of holes, or ports, are inside the rotor and stator, with vanes in the rotor directing air through the ports. As air moves through the ports as the rotor spins, it is chopped at a certain frequency, creating sound. The more ports on the siren and the faster the rotor spins, the higher the peak pitch of the siren.
