Foo - Tin Foil Hat

If I make a tin foil hat to keep the sun off of my radar detector, will it interfere with it? I am worried that it will overheat.

Also, please discuss any alien conspiracy theories in this thread.

That's the dumbest thing I've heard today. Why don't you just leave the damn car with the AC on.

Slovid...scared of "ET"?lol

dude, the black detector is on the black dashboard with sun shining on it all day. The car could be 40 degrees and it would still get hot.

Your car needs more AC.

how about just stashing the thing when parked?

Yeah I do this already, I'm wondering about during driving. I'm not sensing much support for the tin foil hat idea

what you need is air movement. put the radar detector on the roof and it'll stay cool.

Just hand it to the cops and say "where is my ticket?"

Can you send me your design? I'll make one and wear it when I listen to Bush, Cheney or Rumsfeld.

can you spell n-o l-i-f-e?

Here's another idea....if you are driving, don't worry bout it.

My naive suspicion is that it may interfere with your detection range. After all, if you reflect away any radar signals coming at your detector, then your detector can't detect them!

In other random ramblings... Some little green men came knocking at my door last night explaining that aliens are not real. When I asked them what they were in light of their statement, they told me they're just one of us. Umm, okay, whatever.

nevermind

Problem solved:

lmfao how long did it take you to draw that pic? im about pissing my pants

Aliens engineered us from chimpanzees.

no doubt

now where did apes come from?

The mystery, Skully,The mystery...

How about sell it on Ebay and drive the speed limit? Nahhh what a stupid idea.

Radar detectors have more use that just the ability to speed with impunity. They certainly don't keep you from getting tickets if you choose to speed. I'll let you figure the rest out for yourself.

I drive over 75,000 miles a year for work and pleasure and cannot think of a reason I would need a radar detector except to avoid speeding tickets.

Enlighten me plaese?

They detect radar, Palsdude....Alien craft navigate by laser guided signals.

It's a UFO warning system, silly! (This stuff really shouldn't be discussed in mixed company...)

Doh!!!!!!


What was I thinking?

:D

dude, its just water.

this thread is weeird. there is no such thing as aliens.
now where are my black sunglasses.

SSSSHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! They might HEAR you!

So what iof i can hear myself. Now help me find my damn sunglasses. I dont dare use "it" without them.

Ah, yes. Look into the light, ladies and gentlemen. This was simply a discussion about the efficacy and ethics of radar detectors. It had nothing, repeat NOTHING to do with aliens, unidentified flying objects, or any other such nonsense. Please...go about your business.

Yes, sir, thank you very much for pointing that out. Now, as I said before, if you'll just direct your attention to the light....

Looking, sir.

y'all got it all wrong. . .
according to the family I interviewed ( i used to do psych evals in a past life),
the tin foil reflected gamma rays that the CIA was beaming all over the place
to control the population.
Best woven into the hair as opposed to an actual hat. . .

this was in the Wash. D.C. area and, well. . . they sold lots of Reynolds foil. . .think about it.

do aliens ride bikes
this thread looks like it should be on the art bell page,

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

amazing what you can do with google images and program paint in 2 minutes :D

All tinfoil hats must conform to this model or they will not work.

How do you power a radar detector on your bicycle?

The pointed foil hat certainly has gamma-ray-deflection advantages, but it can give away your location in certain situations, so it may not be the right choice for everyone. It is less effective, for instance if you're hiding behind the sofa/behind a hedge, etc.


This was simply a discussion about the efficacy and ethics of radar detectors.
It wasn't even that, it was a simple question about the radar-detection consequences of shielding the device from heat. I am not even remotely interested in your ethical opinion about radar detectors; I have obviously already made up my mind about the issue and am bored to explain my reasoning.

Has this been linked yet?

A scientific study of tin foil hats.

But they did bust the myth that aluminum foil would affect police radar.

With advances in nanotechnology, new and better deflection devices will become reality in most of our lifetimes. The anechoic coatings that help to prevent radar detection, unfortunately are not sufficiently effective at diverting or shielding the coated object from the effects of the electro-magnetic radiation. They are also a bit too bulky for practical use, and are quite expensive as well. Using nano-engineering, it is thought that the volume of material needed to scatter the reflected energy, as well as the volume needed to provide an effective barrier can be reduced by up to 90%. This can permit protection devices to be far less conspicuous - which will also help to reduce the social stigma that unenlightened majority impose upon the people who understand, and wish to protect themselves from the far-reaching consequences of the massive bombardment of EMR in the environment.

















ain't BS fun? :D

If you look at the instructions that came with it, they should tell you the operating temp range for that piece of equipment. I don't think the heat is going to be a problem. As for the tin foil hat, it may shield the device from the rays, but the interior of the car is going to get just as hot from the greenhouse effect.

Uh...yeah. Chill out there, buddy. You didn't ask for an opinion, and I didn't give you one. (Apparently, you either have been questioned about this before, however, or have certain qualms about it, since you seem to be so touchy on the subject.)

Anyway, what I did was make a (everybody together now!) J-O-K-E, playing off what TexasGuy was saying. I have no actual interest in your or anybody else's radar detector.

good one. :rolleyes:

if I seem annoyed, it's because there wasn't really even one sincere or marginally helpful post in this thread until after my last response. It's a mystery to me why people even bother posting in a thread if they want to talk about something completely unrelated to the OP.

anyway, I have learned my lesson.

dude, its just water.
are you sure it isn't specially modified heavy drinking water? genetically designed to melt off alien skin? but not damage real people when they drink it? or spray it over the room by hitting it with baseball bats?
