Signal Sorcerer - traffic light changer

The Signal Sorcerer traffic light changer. Nothing to do with those MIRT type changers, now so discredited and outlawed. This puppy messes with the ‘inductive loop’ type traffic lights, you know, the strip in the ground. Check out the SS1 model for bicycles, and let me know if you can find the weight. From $19.95.

Inductive loops detect iron (ferrite [Fe]) not aluminum, rubber, plastic, weight, mass, titanium, etc. Bicycles rarely have enough iron close enough to the ground to cause the inductive loop to detect their presence at the intersection – ergo, the light does not change. Signal Sorcerer generates a very powerful field that substantially increases the inductance in these loops, therefore causing the traffic signal to detect the vehicle it’s attached to and initiate a cycle change. Inductive loop technology has been employed in this capacity since the early 1960’s."
