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
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
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
