How to Make this Pneumatic Hooter Work?

08/01/2011 4:47 AM

I have Pneumatic hooters with SS(perhaps) made horn and provision for air supply. I've tried to make this horn blow using air supply but it doesn't blow. Am I missing something?

Normally these hooters have nonmetallic diphagrams at the rear side. If this diaphagram gets damaged, no sound will come. Alterately in the rainy season lot of moisture comes which can make it sticky. Also there can be cases of dusts plugging a hole. This normally gets dislodged by a little bit of knocking.

Hooters. I have waited a long time for this subject, as I know quite a bit about them.

All this discussion of hooters, diaphragms, sticky moisture coming out, and a little bit of knocking, and nothing helpful.

Here is a Wikipedia article that may help.

Some air horns take a considerable volume of air to operate. If you review the article and still find no answer, tell us some specific information and we may be better able to help you.

We may be able to provide more useful information if you would post pictures of your hooters.

Don't blow into the big end. You should always blow into the small end of a hooter.

Without any further information, best guess is lack of air pressure...You need a compressor with an air tank set to the appropriate pressure that can be 200 psi more or less....the holding tank is used to build up pressure to adequately supply the horn...

Example...
