The problem is perceived rather than real. Whistles are not INHERENTLY inefficient. There has to be a paradigm shift in people's way of thinking.
Most people still equate whistles with inefficient, outdated technology. The Dynawhistle (patent 4686928) is the loudest and most efficient true whistle design ever.
A typical 4" diameter steam whistle uses around 150 boiler HP (150 PSI at 400 CFM) and produces about 110 dB at 100 feet and has a 70 dB radius of less than 1 mile. This is inefficient.Private Reply to Richard Weisenberger (new win) |
