Ever bend a hanger back and forth a bunch of times, then it breaks. Same thing happens to ALL steel. They are NOT supposed to "dance" like that, they WILL fail eventually.
@@krabysniper you have to bend it past its maximum flex, which this obviously isn't. This is akin to bending a coat hanger .5mm in each direction, not in half like the example you used. Different steels have different maximum flex points. Steel in traffic lights have a high maximum flex. It would take literally millions to infinite cycles to do anything worthwhile.
@@krabysniper you're probably right. the flexing absorbs a lot of energy and if it went on for a long time it may snap but hollow things react a bit differently than a solid hanger or rod. harder to hold the heat needed to break with hollow center..
@@RandoWisLuL having been a welder and metal fab for more than 40 years, and having studied engineering and metallurgy, I believe I know a thing or 2 on the subject. But you go ahead and believe what you want, I won't waste my time attempting to convince you otherwise because you might be an Aerospace engineer with a greater knowledge, or maybe you are a God. LOL, 🤡.
Traffic lights doing the 'bro nod'.
the less rigid the better in this situation but scary looking..

Love the certified engineer talk guys, killing it.
Wait, are the light posts not supposed to rock like that?
