How to get green traffic lights using science! Save Gas, time & frustration! Works great! See the Test Results! Yay for Kipkay!
To add to my last post, This mornin', I tried two other traffic sensors in town the my bike didn't set off before an' it did set them off, apparently as a result of the magnets trick shown in this video
I tried it on my scooter with about 7X the amount of neodymium magnets used in the video an' it didn't work, at least not at the light nearest my home. I sat there for two minuites waitin' for the light to change so I could make a left turn. It normrally only stays red for a minuite at the most when my car sets the same sensor off. Good thing that here in Tennessee, there's a state law that is a bike isn't settin' off a traffic sensor, the rider can run the light after a complete stop if the traffic's clear. Still too early to tell if it'll work at other sensors that my bike doesn't set off
The sensor wire is actually only 2-3" below the surface of the road, so it shouldn't be a problem. I also make a habit of riding directly over the saw cut and 80% of the time that's enough to trigger the signal. If it doesn't, call your local DOT office and report it that it needs to be repaired or have the sensitivity adjusted.
this coming from a guy that thinks lasers embedded in a hairbrush will regrow hair. LOL. He really does too. It's one of his instructibles on metacafe., A quick google search on such rubbish though, shows it's scientifically proven to be total nonsense and quackery. Which makes me suspect this guy just does a lott of scouring of other peoples work, on tips tricks n things, and repackages them as his own. Basically makes a fortune by stealing and plagiarizing. Not cool.
no way a small magnet can be strong enough to have a cange on the sensor under 1ft in the fround
In Colorado we have a lot of the laser triggers at our intersections so this wouldn't work all the time. But using this along with the light sensor triggers you can buy for bikes is teh win! I'll have to come back to this video when I feel like doing the work =)
I will never wait at a light again YAY!
