Improvise whistle from an aluminium can - 02/22/10 08:56 AM

Hi all,
few days ago I saw a clip on YouTube about a survival whistle done from an aluminium can...today I tryied to do the same
[Linked Image from img685.imageshack.us]
just a Vic Minichamp it's sufficient to do it

need firstly to obtain a rectangule about 8 cm x 4 cm

than you cut a strip 8 cm x 2 cm (more or less), and another strip 4 cm x 2 cm

fold the short strip around the long strip, nearly at the end, an fold the remainig part of the long strip
[Linked Image from img29.imageshack.us]
now, fold the free part of the longer strip around your finger, to obtain a curve, and open a little bit the shorter strip (for airflow)

need to obtain something like this

to obtain a sound (I ensure, pretty loud), you need to close the sides of the whistle with your fingers (thumb+index)

the whistle it's ready

I may ensure the sound it's pretty loud (also it's funny to make this little tool :-).
Ciao,
Alfredo
PS apologize for ugly pictures
