YT:
This is a 1940's Doran Cunningham air horn. Usually found on WWII US Navy destroyer ships, and also found on some older ferries. There are only 2 of these that are being used that I know of. Mine and Adam's (Airraidsiren on YouTube). Very rare that only six have been seen in pictures and each one had a different configuration. The 6B is close to 200lbs. of brass, has a 12" diaphragm,my 6B measures 36 1/4" long, and has an 18" bell/horn opening.
There are markings at the footing of the air inlet "DD416". This is not the biggest horn made; but is considered the best because of it's sound!

I want to hear that horn while vikings behead some barbarians with heavy axes in the foreground.

I seriously HAAAATE those cars. And have you heard about the atrocious safety rating?! At least this one's safer now since at least they'll hear him coming.

Seriously though, I'd like this for my truck.

It's almost as douchey as putting those huge tires on a small car or small tires on a pickup truck. Almost.

He's not a douche, he's just an air horn nerd. He doesn't actually use this in traffic or anything.

Here he is comparing it to a train horn:

"Air horn nerd". Just wanted to revisit that phrase.
