It looks like using car horns is not a good idea because they 1) pump up too much current and 2) are too heavy/bulky on a bike.
I don't know anything about electronics, but what about this:
- a light and compact li-po battery
- a tiny MP3 player just to play the sound of a car horn
- an amplifier
- a loudspeaker
?
If someone here knows about loudspeakers, how big would it have to be to play a sound file loud enough to be heard by drivers?
