A thief has used some sort of hand held EMP or electro magnetic pulse device to illegally obtain cash from Barcrest triple 777 machines. the incident happened in Great Yarmouth with a high suspicion that an attack was also carried out in Hastings.

 

see picture attached, if you look carefully he has what appears to be some sort of device (battery?) to the back of his lower back.

Sure it's not just people jumping to conclusions? Without actual video of the 'crime' being committed, it's impossible to say if it was intentional or not (could have just been a machine malfunction?) , and I honestly do not believe in 'EMP' devices.

like yourself - because you dont believe?

 

dont take my word for it, but when a machines log file says you have say a £1000 hopper, but it is infact empty - who do you point the finger at?

Can I ask what the source of the story is?

[nails]

pop me a PM with your email address and i`ll forward the original

Excuse my ignorance but I have just viewed this...(as posted above).

 

 

During my years at school  I loved science, I thought to maintain a circuit you needed the + and - to have no breaks......but leading on from that........

 

I'm damn certain all I can see is a single copper wire (usual good electricity conductor (hence why it's used!)) only showing one contact point on that bulb? (that in my eyes is a bluff)........I do appreciate a charge can 'jump' from a source...but to illuminate a fluorescent lamp takes more that 4 AA's..and that's possible I know to activate the Mercury via an electrical charge.

 

With a single 'wire' the charge would attract to that, therefore lead to a short and not create any spark apart from a smoking short circuit?

 

My opinion is it's a total hoax!.......if not and it 'could' be legit then the creator is surely liable to a fraud case!

I'm not sure (without further research) exactly what's going on in these video's, but anyone who creates one of these devices, the most stupid thing you could do would be to put a demo video on youtube of how to do it.

 

However there is a possibility I haven't seen posted yet.

 

The contents of a CPU whether in a PC, fruit machine, atm, calculator, digital watch etc can be read at a distance of several meters because of the electromagnetic signals (radiation) given off, if you have the right equipment.

 

I first heard of experiments being done in the early 90's by Department of Defence, for fairly obvious reasons. It was later proven that again, with the right equipment, you could change the contents of the cpu using similar methods.

 

Fast forward to 2014, I would imagine the equipment to do so would be much cheaper and smaller now. It was only a matter of time before someone used it for nefarious purposes.

 

I'm not sure of the tech required, a cursory google search turned up nothing, but if anyone's really interested I'll keep looking.

 

Theoretically, with the right equipment, you could empty the hopper of every machine in a seaside arcade while sitting on the beach.

 

I do remember one thing though, that the equipment to do this would be hyper sensitive to electro magnetic flux signatures.

ady, i think its all bollox. i think the videos are scams to get money and thats it.

 

that said, people have been clicking electrocoin stuff for years and its still happening now.

thanks to the PM's i received. i hope you all understand that the email contains many adresses from key personal and barcrest and its probably best i dont circulate. but barcrest did include attachements on how to safeguard the conmechs and hoppers etc.

It's an LED lamp from the look of it.

 

Total hoax / scam anyway. If people could do it, why would they then put it on YouTube?!

 There you go then mate, a florescent tube.bulb's molecules CAN be exited and illuminated via a non attached means...(though as I said not having a copper wire attached)

 

You say it's LED, that can't be lit by that means (as shown in the Vid)...........I think you are right there fella, a simple watch battery inside it as it's weird how it lights while it's partially hidden too.....

Remember back when eBay was full of "fruit machine RF emptiers" that were cleverly disguised as cheap Maplin car alarm key fobs?

Putting money in, fools the machine every time!

Did you know that if you put no money in a fruit machine it NEVER pays out! That's right land lords and arcade owners (Deffo skeg n Yarmouth) why risk a machine paying out by letting "Any Joe public" play it when you can bar all the local gamblers (aka scammers because they know "what they are doing") when you can put tape over the coin slot and hey presto the machine never pays anything out again!
