It’s always been graphite.

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!

Moving the metal kickstand to touch the road inside the sensor changes the inductance.

Regards

I ask this because many talking heads say that it is against Sharia to have any graphical depiction of “the profit”.

He just repeats the same stupid, oversimplified nonsense over and over. No, Ace, everyone should NOT be required to kiss your ass because you figured out a way to make money.
