Maybe this should be posted elsewhere but I have an idea for a poor man's version of veil ($89.95) for less than $5.
I had this idea that needs to be tested with IR photography or IR video camera.
Being that carbon especially the charcoal used for painting absorbs IR, wouldn't it prevent Lidar that the cops use in their speed traps from getting a signal that you are speeding? It should at least decrease the amount of distance it takes for them to get a reading.
RoninMD's Poor Man's Veil:
1 cup of corn syrup
charcoal (bamboo works best but any kind will do.)
mix it up till it's dark
paint your headlights and your license plates.
but don't paint them so dark that you can't use your headlights at night.
Of course, you would have to reapply it after it rains.
--------------------------
On a side note, for awhile people where wondering what made the samurai sword so sharp and flexible on one side yet stiff on the other. For the longest time, modern smiths tried various alloys and pure metals but could not get it right. In thier clean and modern gas environment, every blade they made was either too malleable or too brittle.
In the Japanese wood fire smithy, they used bamboo coal and other natural carbon resources and turns out that the distribution of carbon along the blade as it is folded several times is what gave the samurai sword it's legendary qualities.
--------------------------
On another side note:
North Dallas cops are busy. I'm seeing a lot of cruisers out there making their quota. Times must be tough. Law enforcement agencies are either up-ramping or trying to generate more revenue. When cops are having a hard time feeding their families, you know Rome is going fall.
