Trip Traffic Lights! - Device

[96RS Alex]

I thought this was interesting, I always like to find ways to beat the radar traps, street cameras etc. This device called the Signal Sorcerer can trip certain street traffic lights & it's easily installed on motorcycles too. A nice mod to roll out next to 'Stang and catch him off guard ;) . http://www.signalsorcerer.com/

I doubt they work any better than flashing lights with your highbeams :/

It says it works on "inductive loops" at signals. An inductive loop is the wire you see embedded in the pavement at intersections. It senses when a piece of metal (eg, a car) is over it.

The thing for sale is simply a hunk of metal. It does absolutely nothing for a car unless you have a 100% plastic car. For a motorcycle, it would add a bit of extra metal near the ground which would in theory would reduce the unlikely chance that the inductive loop did not sense your motorcycle.

I can trip inductive loops with my bicycle (especially if you ride over the corners of the loop), so I don't think most loops require much metal to trigger them.

Wait a minute... I'm looking at the "technical" specs...

It is just a magnet! [img]graemlins/rofl.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/rofl.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/rofl.gif[/img]

Complete waste of money.

The pong game is easy to beat. Just move your paddle towards the CPU paddle and force the ball past the CPU paddle.

the funny thing is some people are stupid enough to buy that.

Bingo. It's not supposed to trick the light into suddenly turning green for you, nor does it advertise that. Those are available, but I believe illegal.

do you ride? maybe the roads are built different down there... you could wait a long time 'round here on a bike for the light to change

yeah the magnet thing has been around for a long time, some guys use em, just depends on whether or not you have triggerd lights or not. Around here some intersections do some don't, but if you wanna try just go buy a large magnet at some industrial supply store, will proably be 1/4 the price.

Well I thought it was neat until now. It will only work IF youre the 1st person in line facing the traffic light.

I am going to build one of those things...

Around my home in NY, they don't change if you are on a bike. Either you wait until a car pulls up behind you, or you just look around and run the redlight when its safe to go.
