Commented on The Oxygen Wonders of Exar
That picture at the top makes this contraption look like a "Soylent Green" man-u-factory. I'm just saying that the size of the legs compared to the size of the dome, a head should be sticking out the other end, unless...

Commented on Infrared LEDs make you invisible to CCTV cameras
In a past life (college - 12 ys ago) when i worked at radio shack that is how we would test to see if a remote for a tv was working. Aim at the video camera and press a button....
Commented on Chinese diagram: cooking chicken with beer
The recipe is so right brained. Perhaps if i was better at cooking it would make more sense, is there a color coding i am missing? As far as i can figure I have raw onions, garlic and a chicken...

Flashback commented on Infrared LEDs make you invisible to CCTV cameras
So many experts in one place.. grab a coffee it's a long post! I am the original inventor of the Flashback anticamera system which I sold during the early days of speed cameras in the early 90's {Gatso MK1's which were film cameras with doppler-shift radar modules inside). My system used profesional photographic slave-flash guns (Haminax), which fired a custom xenon strobe light straight into the perspex numberplate which had blacked out sides to trap the light in the plate. The result was that the plate was massively over-exposed and all 'they' got was a white sqaure. End result? Home...
tunni56 commented on Infrared LEDs make you invisible to CCTV cameras
Hi Flashback. I think I spoke to you (or a collegue perhaps)and saw a very impressive demo of 'flasback' at motorcycle show in London about 10 yrs ago? I think it was at the old London Arena docklands. I've been trying to buy one of those systems ever since and am still looking for one!!!! Reading your post I now know why you stopped selling them! Has speed camera tehnology changed now so that the old 'flashback' would no longer work? If they still work do you know where I might source one from? ..or do you have a circuit...
Roy Trumbull commented on Infrared LEDs make you invisible to CCTV cameras
There was a product made by 3M that was in the form of a screen that reflected light only on axis. Thus a talent working in front of a screen with a projection on it would appear to be in the image and studio lights wouldn't wash it out. Often wondered what became of that product. There is a very old circuit called a relaxation oscillator. It is what drives the blinking light in a smoke detector while drawing little battery current. Wonder how that would work with an LED?...
