-Electromagnetic locks on the doors to keep them locked while the clerk is occupied cleaning the store at night so robbers can't ambush him while he's out from behind the bulletproof glass. These locks have around a 1,500 pound hold strength so it's impossible to force them open manually.
But you can open them from inside easily without the clerk having to buzz you out because there's a circuit that detects when a person touches the exit bar that de- energizes the electromagnet. This is a simple touch sensitive circuit that detects a change in capacitance when a conductive body (like yours) drains it.
It won't work if you touch it with gloves since they'd insulate you from the circuit. But touch it with a bare metal object...
Take a flat piece of steel about 2 feet long and 3/8" wide and bend it with a curve on the end in a half-circle 4" in diameter. -
Now, by simply slipping the curved part through the gap in the doors, I can touch the bar on the inside with this conductive metal and fool the lock into thinking I'm inside and unlocking. Takes all of 3 seconds to insert this jimmy and unlock the doors.
This shows what an electromagnetic lock looks like. Basically a flat steel plate attached to the door with the electromagnet attached to the frame. These have a pull force of several thousand pounds, thus impossible to manually pull open. -
Elevator failsafe.
Simultaneously press the button for your floor and the close door button and you will go straight to the floor selected without picking anyone else up. For example, if you work on the 12th floor, press [12] + close Door [>|<] simultaneously.....Ding, welcome to the 12th floor.

-Controlling the crosswalk.
Use the code below to change the crossing signal in your favor. Walk up to the traffic signal on the corner of the street and depress the crosswalk button in the following sequence: 3 short clicks, 2 long clicks, 1 short click, 2 long clicks followed by 3 short clicks.

Those are both tactics for police officers to control the signals for busy intersections for accidents I'm a certified flagger in pa for accidents there is a pattern to change all lights red as well. The police also use that tactic along with emt. To quickly get to people on higher floors

I have one that's called the black box technique.
You need a pay phone. Several quarters. Silence. And a sound recording device.
Ever noticed the beep noise when u put money in a pay phone?
Put your recording device mic to the pay phone earpiece.
Start putting in quarters. The more the merrier.
Record all the beeps in a single recording.
Then hang up the phone to get your quarters back.
Then pick up the receiver and play back the beep noises into the part of the phone you speak into. Now you can call anyone anywhere for free.
Have fun!!! -

I love this thread.

Most of the other ones I have are dangerous. I might pm some of them if I like you. Others are things like lists of chemicals used for various sketchy things and which household items are those chemicals equivalents. For use in making violent chemical reactions... Stuff like that. Im not Tyler Durden and don't trust some of you crazy kids enough to simply post directions about some of those things.
-
Not to mention the directions to some of the devices are far to extensive to explain on the forums. I can't even post the electronic diagram pictures on here, or post more than 2050 letters every three mins. I wish nick would allow me to post more! Wink wink
