Sounding the Sumburgh Foghorn
The Sumburgh foghorn was used as part of the foghorn sound for Robert Eggers "The Lighthouse". Read more here - www.imdb.com/title/tt7984734/...
A foghorn or fog signal is a device that uses sound to warn vehicles of navigational hazards like rocky coastlines, or boats of the presence of other vessels, in foggy conditions.
Out of use since 1987, the foghorn was painstakingly restored by Brian Johnson. Shown in the video is the annual Foghorn sounding at Sumburgh Lighthouse, Shetland, Scotland.
Brian starts up the 1951Kelvin K-Series Diesel 44hp Engines. The engines power the Alley and MacLellan compressors, which in turn, power the foghorn.
Just so you know, the horn was originally much louder at the end, but KZread's audio algorithm turned the volume down. I tried several versions but it wasn't having it.

foghorns in the San Francisco Bay Area still sound like these lucky for us!
Came here after reading Ray Bradbury's short story, "The Foghorn," and I'm reminded of this passage in particular: "One day many years ago a man walked along and stood in the sound of the ocean on a cold sunless shore and said, 'We need a voice to call across the water, to warn ships; I'll make one. I'll make a voice like all of time and all of the fog that ever was; I'll make a voice that is like an empty bed beside you all night long, and like an empty house when you open the door, and like trees in autumn with no leaves. A sound like the birds flying south, crying, and a sound like November wind and the sea on the hard, cold shore. I'll make a sound that's so alone that no one can miss it, that whoever hears it will weep in their souls, and hearts will seem warmer, and being inside will seem better to all who hear it in the distant towns. I'll make me a sound and an apparatus and they'll call it a Fog Horn and whoever hears it will know the sadness of eternity and the briefness of life'."...

My great uncle was a merchant navy man from Hartlepool. He remembers the foghorn from the Heugh lighthouse and can tell the difference between the sounds from different foghorns up and down the coast from Sunderland to Hull and beyond.
From the U.S. Hoo-Ray for Brian. This is a work of art. The sound has the true character of a fog horn. Not like the cheap new electronic weak kneed fog horns, no comparison. This should be preserved forever.

The anticipation built into the cinematography of this piece certainly felt like something significant was going to take place. The thought of a pneumatically powered doomsday device, with riveted pressure vessels, and a low precision coder mechanism, really tickles my fancy.
Thank you Brian for such a great restoration.
This could be the beginning of a top rated quality movie
Lived next to the river forth as a child and I will never forget the fog horn , I loved it especially when going to sleep.

0:20 He is lubricating the high pressure air compressor to prevent overheating. While also adjusting some of its equipment. 0:41 Turns on the high pressure air compressor. (Equipment used to compress air to a higher psi, so when the foghorn is sounded the air is trying to escape the horn faster than low psi air) 1:08 Opens the air bank valve (the high pressure air compressor stores high pressure air here for later use. By opening this valve he is most likely opening 2 pathways: 1 from the compressor to the bank, 2 from the bank to the foghorn) 1:33 Most likely a crude timer for the foghorn. Most countries use a time base for how frequent they sound their foghorns. U.S. is roughly every 2 minutes.
