Funny, very well done video, except there is one part where he said he mounted the magnets "perpendicular" to the road, that might confuse some people or be overlooked. At first, I thought he misspoke since the road is horizontal, and the magnets mounted under the bike are horizontal, meaning they would be parallel to each other.

But then I looked at the video again, and I think what he meant was he mounted them perpendicular to the direction of the road you are on, or across the bottom of the bike from side to side. He definitely said perpendicular on purpose, so I can only assume in his mind it makes a difference how the magnetic field is generated. But then again, he just stacked them together inside that tube, so maybe he did just mean parallel.

I wonder if the store bought variety says to mount it a certain way.

I got mine via "Santa" from the following proceedure. Went to the "signal Sorcorer" website. Found a local dealer from their "dealer locator." Wrote where to buy one on the Christmas List. Actually when "Santa" went to get the darn thing the owner of the local "dealer" had no idea what she was talking about. He got on the internet and ordered it for her and she picked it up 2 days later. So I reckon that going to their website and ordering it is about the best bet.

Sorry Guys??? I just did a quick search of the internet and I do not see anyone who has the darn thing in stock and their own website does not really display as it once did. I reckon "santa" was just lucky at the time. WOW, that was only 3 months ago. Hopefully they are manufacturing more so that anyone who wants one can get it. I swear by mine. Now that I have it I would not be without it.

I'd be very care that you aren't being sabotaged!! I've never seen a "she" Santa.
