    Smile Crowd Dispersal Machine

    Got a crowd lingering too long out in your pasture?...Well, Just fire up this here 'Crowd Dispersal Device', turn it loose, and seek shelter....it will wildly race about the field in random, zig-zag patterns, all at full throttle, with its loud exhaust bellowing...particularly confusing to its prey at night, as the wildly bouncing headlight adds to the fear and confusion!!!at least...in my imagination...as it now exists, its strictly a static display art piece...

    I thought about adding my Very Cool (patent 1912) Steam Whistle...but I hate to give it up! I take it to Bluegrass pickings, using a Paintball CO2 cylinder and a foot switch...lots of train songs in Bluegrass, and I've yet to hear a better train whistle. I can blow it manually, and it works great, but I haven't figured out how to do that and play guitar at the same time!
    I added the stainless zip ties because one of the solder joints failed, and I felt that, with all my handling, it would be prudent, yet easily removed.



    But I do have a few interesting old car horns "back in the bins"...I may add one of those...

    Kahlenberg makes some dandy whistles for steam and air actuation plus the valving and hookups. I have one mounted on the side wall of my shop that I run on compressed air that wakes the entire block up.

    Mine is a steam engine whistle in satin finished and cast brass.
