How does a traffic signal record a VIN #?

They don't.

People who grew up rotary phones don't understand how a database works. :laughing:

Traffic signal might have an ALPR hooked into it if it's a newer signal that uses cameras for its switching rather than induction loops or a timer.
 
I just saw the video on it the other day. Apparently it was reactivated, so the company that did so had to cut a hole in the primary tube to get access to the guts, then sleeve, TIG and xray it afterwards. That patch left the chat when the rocket failed. From what the video said the rockets have different stages of propellant that ignite sequentially, but in this instance it seems like they all ignited at the same time, and one of the chunks plugged the exhaust. so the building pressure had nowhere to go. They weren't blaming the patch job too hard though, implying that the whole tube could have exploded if it didn't find an easy way out
 
It amazes me all these piece of junk rocket launchers the Hamas are using and here is an actual manufactured one that just failed nearly killing its user and they even had protective equipment on.

the ones they have haven't had a huge hole torched in the side in order to be imported
the rockets they have are factory made instead of being assembled by some guy in his garage

kinda like how "us made" on an AK is a sign that it is bottom-barrel cheap trash

the booster lobs the grenade outta the tube like a recoilless rifle
the rodket motor fires up downrange

this is why the rpg7 doesn't have a shield on the front like a panzerschrek, the rocket motor isn't running until it's pretty far downrange

as such, the tube sees some pretty high pressure since it's basically the chamber area of a carl-g

Nice. I honestly don't know anything about them besides what I gleaned from their video. Learned a lot from it, and the different booster lengths etc

Here's a time stamped link to their failure vid

Except for the ones that they made from water pipe that they dug up and made into rockets.

usually that's just the grenade, like the ukranian ones made outta a fire extinguisher
they use a factory made booster charge, maybe the rocket charge, too

I think it's a solid coin toss between uneducated and nontechnical but ideologically committed religious extremists vs "they preteneded to pay us and we pretended to work" soviet factory labor in 1986. :laughing:

The ones being installed in OKC are flat white panels that sense the car sitting at the light. No camera. And according to the city guy who had them installed, they also receive all the info your new car puts out all the time. He said they don't collect and store the info now, but that may change in the future. He said they can track new cars in the city just by the lights it goes through.

I believe that.

My impression was those non-camera systems were on the way out because the camera based systems were more accurate at picking up motorcycles, mopeds and shit but if the new ones read all the EM shit from the vehicle than I can see them sticking around.

NY is putting in both camera and RF systems in per the DOT traffic engineer who I spoke to last week (I called in a weird enough issue that he called back on a Friday and we talked for 15 mins).
