How to Change Street Lights from Red to Green on a small vehicle, even a Bicycle.

    There is something exotic about the traffic lights that "know" you are there -- the instant you pull up, they change! How do they detect your presence? Some lights don't have any sort of detectors. For example, in a large city, the traffic lights may simply operate on timers -- no matter what time of day it is, there is going to be a lot of traffic. In the suburbs and on country roads, however, detectors are common. They may detect when a car arrives at an intersection, when too many cars are stacked up at an intersection (to control the length of the light), or when cars have entered a turn lane (in order to activate the arrow light).   If you or someone you know, owns a motorcycle, a scooter or even a small car, you've probably noticed that it's easy to get stuck at traffic lights. Well, this is an explanation as to why it happens and a great little trick that will save time, gas and frustration by getting you a green light every time.       

    

So... Let's say you take a coil of wire perhaps 5 feet in diameter, containing five or six loops of wire. You cut some grooves in a road and place the coil in the grooves. You attach an inductance meter to the coil and see what the inductance of the coil is. Now you park a car over the coil and check the inductance again. The inductance will be much larger because of the large steel object positioned in the loop’s magnetic field. The car parked over the coil is acting like the core of the inductor, and its presence changes the inductance of the coil. A traffic light sensor uses the loop in that same way. It constantly tests the inductance of the loop in the road, and when the inductance rises, it knows there is a car waiting!  

 

Most motorcycles, scooters, bicycles and small cars don't have enough conductive material to trigger these loops and change the traffic light.   

 

We need to produce a very powerful field that increases the inductance in these  traffic sensors, and causes the light to change.   

  

 You will need 2 Neodymium magnets. Choose two that have a pulling force of over 6lbs each. You also need a roll of heavy duty exterior mounting tape.  

 

Then apply it to the bottom of our test scooter, perpendicular to the  road. 

 

Because magnets can and do rust, you can put them stacked together inside a waterproof, rust-proof, pill holder or Bison Tube and then stick and tape this to the bottom of the scooter.
