If I apply 1st clear finger nail polish to my liscense plate and then cover the plate with a clear plastic cover, is there a way for me to test this method? As an example can I use any digital camera and take a picture of the plate aprox 25 feet away to simulate a red light camera? Is this also effective with speed light cameras? Please reply back anyone that can answer these questions? Thanks Wayne

light is a lot faster than that. it works. but the flash has to be really bright. what would be the point of slave flashes if they took too long to be of any good?

photo radar uses a specific angle, what about flat mirrors that are beside the plate to reflect the flash.

As I see it, your theory has a major flaw. YOUR flash is triggered by the speed camera’s flash. That mean that by the time your flash fires, the picture’s already been taken. No?

Determining whether or not hot water can freeze faster than cold water may seem like a no-brainer. After all, water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius. And wouldn’t water hot enough to kill E. coli bacteria (about 120 degrees Fahrenheit or 50 degrees Celsius) take a longer path than cooler water at a fall New England beach (about 60 degrees Fahrenheit or 15 degrees Celsius) towards a frigid future as ice? While a logical assumption, it turns out that hot water can freeze before cooler water under certain conditions.

This apparent quirk of nature is the “Mpemba effect,” named after the Tanzanian high school student, Erasto Mpemba, who first observed it in 1963. The Mpemba effect occurs when two bodies of water with different temperatures are exposed to the same subzero surroundings and the hotter water freezes first. Mpemba’s observations confirmed the hunches of some of history’s most revered thinkers, such as Aristotle, Rene Descartes and Francis Bacon, who also thought that hot water froze faster than cold water.

There’s a red light camera at the only entrance/exit to my neighborhood, so going around it is impossible!

I am curious as to if you have tried this and had success with it. Did you spray the inside of the plate cover or did you spray the outside? Did you use a bubble type plastic cover or a flat cover?
