1 How could my Eco activate traffic lights or parking lot bars? Tue Oct 25, 2022 7:07 pm

Nowadays, most parking lots' bars and traffic lights are activated by the detector loops' electromagnetic field being disturbed by a massive chunk of steel passing overhead.
(hat tip to Dai for this concise definition; post #5 @mystery magnet)
Unfortunately, they don't work for me, as my Eco's monocoque is pure plastic and aramide and the steel fork only is not enough ferrous material to disturb the magnetic field sufficiently.
I often do have wait for a long time in front of a red light because my Eco remains undetected and I must avoid parking lots for the same reason.
Is there any way of disturbing the electromagnetic field underneath my Eco which is made mainly of nonferrous body material?
Any electrical engineers here?
