Trigger GREEN Traffic Lights!

  • Sorry Kip

    My dad works for the DOT and say this wont help at all. A motorcycle alone has enough to trigger the light. Plus in your video the light went from red to green really fast which tells me you just waited to approach the light until it turned yellow. Good video though

    • Sorry kudo148

      I don't know anyone that works for the DOT so I'm not an expert. I just a plain old guy with a motorcycle that gets stuck at the light for a few minutes till a bigger car pulls up and the light turns green. I don't know if this magnet thing works but I do know the problem is real and I would try strapping a live chicken to my rear tire if that could help.

    • I like the "problem"

      In my city in Canada. It's legal for motorbikes to "run" those lights....since we'd be waiting until another car comes for them to turn green. I like it that way. So at night when there's little traffic I just treat them like 4 way stop signs. Cops can't bust me for running a red that never turns green.

    • You Sure?

      You mean in other countries if you went to a red light at 4am. You'd have to sit there for hours waiting for a car to come? I doubt it.

    • NO dude

      he ment..in other countries the light is time based.... a minuite for averyone....
      If it's green you pass...if it's red you wait one minute ...even if you drive a Hummer :D
      And at night most of the lights turn yellow...and are treated as a 4 way stop sign :)
      It's better than that wire crap ...I can't believe it never turns green if you are on a bike :)))))

    • kip is absolutely right about this


      | used to work for a company that installed intersections, lights, poles, guardrail, etc, etc, and that is exactly how they work.

      In the grooves cut into the pavement shown in the video lie only 2 'wraps' of wire. More wraps means more 'sensitivity' which is why some turn lanes will have more wraps and other lanes will have less, to help the computer determine which lanes need to go first/longest. The amount of ferrous conductive metal present in any vehicle directly affects the speed with which this system responds to traffic demands.

      Great Idea Kip!!

    • You are right.

      A few years ago, we build some custom control gate unit for the government. There was a controller that was hooked up to a PLC unit. That controller was for the loop and the wires acted as the sensor when metal was over it. It usually took about four loops of wire about a 3 foot diameter for the controller to work when a piece of metal was over the wire loop. Also, the more loops, better the sensitivity. We did not install the units but we did test them. Someone asked me about a hexagon shape patterns by stop lights and I told the person what it was.

    • Physics taught me...

      Magnetic forces go throgh anything. It would not be affected by the road surface, except that cars are now a couple of inches futher away. A good example of the unstopable force of magnets is the earths magnetic field, it comes from the center of the earth and isnt affected by the materials in the ground.

    • You must have fallen asleep in class...

      A magnet as large as the earth would certainly disregard a few inches of dirt or asphalt, however stating that any magnet will go through anything is ridiculous.

    • umm

      you must have never taken class because he is right, magnetic fields are not stopped by anything. It is impossible to "stop" a magnetic field, but one can redirect or nullify its effects with another field. In fact asphalt or anything which has electrons will most likely strengthen a magnetic field. Of course the real problem here is that the wires are now under ground a few inches so they will have a harder time detecting the vehicle because it is farther away...

      why can the magnet on my frigde hold one sheet of paper but not ten?

      By kelley42 1190489714 Reply Spam [+5] Moderate Up Moderate Down
    • Kelley..

      This is because its not a very poerful magnet. When it is 1 paper thickness away from the fridge, it is still has enough pulling power to hold the paper on the fridge. But add 5 more paper thicknesses, and the magnet is now 5x as far from the fridge, thereby decreasing its pulling power. This coupled with the added weights of the paper cause them to fall down.

      By god.favored 1206251992 Reply Spam Moderate Up Moderate Down
    • well...

      besides that it probobly isn't a strong magnet, it can't really magnetize five sheets of paper, but your point is also null because refrigerator magnets use friction to keep the paper up, a better way to test it would be to set up a gauge to measure small units of force and put the magnet close to the metal object(not touching), and then put a thin object (like a piece of paper, or multiple pieces) in between the magnet and the metal and see if the force of the magnet is differed.

      Compas do not always point north,
      they point to the most powerful magnet.

      Put a magnet or even some iron in around a compass and it will point to it, not north.

    • Your missing the point

      futher distance means less strength, small metal mass means less magnetic strength or inductance, Motorcycle shops have been selling magnets for this purpose for many years, Do an ebay search I remember seeing them on there also

    • Maybe you need to take physics again

      Wow, you not only do not understand the electromagnetic force, but you also site a great reference against your argument. The Earth actually bocks out 98% of the magnetic field generated by the core. Any number of materials block, to a great or lesser extent, magnetism. I don't know what a few inches of concrete or asphalt would do to the magnetic force of the coils, but to state that it does nothing is just plain stupid. Time for you to take Physics again.

    • A lot of intersections also lose


      part of the wire to pavement milling, which has more of an affect (supposedly) than more asphalt because (as it was explained to me) the pavement doesn't interact with the magnetic field, so it doesn't diminish it either. I say insulation is insulation,,

      Milling however can destroy an entire intersection of sections are milled away to the point of open circuit.

    • i thingk i have the solution...

      First of all, the difference between a car and a motorcycle in this case is not the weight, its the ammount of circuits and stuff that makes electrmagnetic fields that can change the light to green.
      The magnets that he put are to make a bigger field, the force of the field is bigger as is closer to the center and then disapears.I think that the asfalt doesnt matter, what makes the differnce is a bigger field that can go stronger in longer distances.Hope im right

    Yes this how the loop detector works but along with the detector is a timer delay. These timers allow the main arterial streets to continue to allow traffic to flow. So even when you trip the detector you still may have to wait.....

      There is an algorithm that gives the necessary time to each side of the road in order to obtain the better possible trafic flow. You can get the green light almost immediatly only if you are the first vehicle arrived ...

  • Uh, Kip...

    Those detectors work on electromagnetic induction. A current is sen through the wire in the ground, then the vehicle gets a brief magnetic field and conducts electricity back into the wire.

    In order for this to work, the magnet would have to be put on a motor and rotated so that it conducts electricity.

      because you're just making sure that the inductor loop detects you. You're not "hacking" anything. The light thing uses an entirely unrelated light sensor; this works by magnetic induction.

    The dectors that lights use (this style) measure the change in inductance of the wire coil in the road due to the car's iron content. That's it. A moving magnet will generate a current in a coil but not a change in inductance..... This is bunk I'm afraid. I think the live chicken would work as well.
    (Quick science check- air-core'd inductors have low inductance, iron core inductor have a higer inductance.)

  • Simple proof

    Not going to explain why magnets limited by some things but i'll give a simple way to prove it to the more ignorant reviewers.
    Look for the 2 strongest magnets around, let them stick togetherwith 2 sheets of paper ibetween that are kept like a centimeter apart and the magnets should stick.
    If you keep the same distance inbetween but fill it with a whole pile of paper it won't stick anymore.
    I tried the samething once with my hand, the magnets could keep eachother attracted from the back of my hand to palm.
    That's a good inch of thickness and nothing else of even half the thickness would alow this.

    you could also try a 2-foot loop of wire from a coat hanger with a big DC capacitor in-line, but the induction loops in the pavement have different settings, so it's not one-size-fits-all, unless you invest in a variable capacitor and then you'd have to keep adjusting the settings!

  • I like

    I always thought the road censors worked based on weight, so I've always tried to align my motorcycles tires with the strips. the only problem I see with using this trick is securing the magnets to the underside so as not to find their way into my tire. I'm going to give it a shot, thanks.

  • I used to ride...

    In Oklahoma before I moved to Vegas. Probably 25% of the lights would not get tripped by a bike, and I rode a pretty damn heavy ZX-11. The trick I was taught was to shut off the bike, put down the kick stand, and restart. Always worked for me. I'd try the magnets, though... Better than running the starter 15 times a day.

    I've found that looking carefully for traffic(police or otherwise) and then runnng the redlight works well

  • magnet fagnet - use light

    Simply Flash youre High beams rapidly when approaching the light..
    most have a sensor located near light to detect the strobe from emergency vehicles ,,, which will trigger youre green !! best if about 100+ feet before light ... oh and No oncoming traffic -- blinds em ! haaa ! oh and No COPS seeing you do it either . not sure what they would do .. but might pull you over to see if you were at least flaggin them down ... not good if running late to work , like i usually am ...
    Remember .. not all lights will work this way .. and others better then then some .. try it ... find a new route to work using green lights all the way ! .. at night when no traffic around ... i get em everytime !

  • This is dangerous

    Actually with a very potent magnetic neodymium magnets can generate a very undesired effect like HERF Weapons, or more popularly in the form of EMPs. I mean, it can disrupt and cause malfunctioning in your electronic chips if you have any in your motorcycle.

  • Another Way....

    There is another way to trigger the light. Just pull up and put your metal kickstand down and it will trigger the light. You have to put the kickstand down on the wire for it to work. Keep up the great vids.

    calculate the odds.

    amount of police around - chance of traffic from other direction = run the red light.

  • Long time moto rider

    No it is true. In most cases (about 90% of the time) a motorcycle or especially a scooter will not trigger the light. I used to have a scooter and have a motorcycle and I have never had a light change for me while riding and being the only one who pulls up to a light. BUT if I am riding with my friend or a group then it may change. Very cool video and great insight.

  • Mythbusters: Plausable

    I tried it on my scooter, usin. what I estimate to be 7X the amount of neodymium magnets in the video an' based on the number of traffic sensors that my scooter was known to not set off before, 2/3rds of the time, it works for me

  • Not workin' for me

    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

    I LIVE IN THE "SPACE COAST" FLORIDA. I WAS WAITING AT A STOPLIGHT ONE NIGHT WHEN A COP CAR PULLED UP NEXT TO ME AND TOLD ME THAT IN THAT SITUATION I COULD MOVE MY MOTORCYCLE BACK AND FORTH ABOUT 3-4 FEET AND IT WOULD TRIGGER THE LIGHT. HE ALSO SAID THAT IF THAT DID NOT WORK AND THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC, I COULD JUST RUN THE LIGHT AFTER MAKING A FULL STOP!

  • Get Smart

    How about gluing it to your left boot? I've always tried to line the bike up with one of the traces to get closer to the wire and hope for a trigger. If the magnet were on the shift foot you could wave it right over the wire when coming to a stop. Barbara Feldon was hot wasn't she?

  • other option

    If this does work, (makes sense to me) another cheap solution would be to keep an eye out for a dead Microwave. scrap it out and take the two ceramic circular magnets off the magnetron tube. these magnets are strong enough to permanently discolor an older color tv. one should be enough to trigger the proximity detector for the street light.

    • DON'T tear apart a magnetron

      The magnetron is insulated with beryllium oxide... it's a VERY toxic substance that can cause permanent lung damage if inhaled. Never tear apart or handle a magnetron. Some things are labeled "unserviceable" for a good reason. So don't be stupid.

    BUT.. the fields on magnets only extend so far... try it your self .. position 2 magnets and move them together and see wear you start feeling the tug, the magnetic field won't extend that far (my father in-law installs traffic lights and called this one B*llshit)
