reflecting cops radar guns

I was in physics class today discussing radar guns and all that. I am wondering does anyone know of any material that doesnt reflect microwave radiation. If i can find that material i can cover my car with it and go undetected by cops hahhahaha. Also we talked about how you could reconstruct the body so the microwaves would not reflect the beams back to the cop. Anyone else do any research on this topic.

I've only heard of that sort of thing for laser guns (the things you put on your license plate to diffuse the beam). Perhaps the material the material they make the Stealth Bombers with is what you're looking for

the stuff you put on your license plate is to block camera mounted at intersections from taking a picture of you when you run a red light or commit another trafic infraction.

the only way not to reflect microwaves is to have a smooth surface, and the cover it with the material used on stealth fighters. but a more practical solution is to get the wavelength and amplitude of the waves the police use and send a negative amplitude wave back. theres a radar dectector out there called the phaser and that is exactly what it does.

Fvcking with a cops radar gun is like striking him over the head with his own billy club.

most radar detectors can detect radar jamming detectors... i think it's called vr-2 or something like that?...

Yes. . this is correct. It's called like 180 out of sync or something like that. Works with all waves. Waves work in phases and if you can send a wave back toward the wave coming at you that is exactly 180 degrees out of sync the signals cancel out. However, if the police see you coming, and aren't getting a reading on their detector, then they might know that something is up and pull you over and in that case, if they see this kind of equipment and it's illegal to have radar jamming equipment in your car then you'll get in trouble anyways. Plus if a cop doesn't get a radar reading from you and sees you screaming by at the speed of sound, he's coming after you anyways.

Some other ideas. .

You can also have a AWAC plane pace you and jam all detection equipment in the area.

Find a way to cloak your car.

Or, since you'd already be spending a butt load of money on this, might as well have a satellite on your car that pulls the waves in, slows them down and sends them back, so his gun gets a reading that is slower than what you are actually going.

I don't know if the last one is possible, but it seems like it would be, from what little I know about this crap. Any CEET, electronics people in here?

Dont speed and you wont have to worry about a cop pulling you over.

well with a jammer it doesnt cancel the wave or anything, it just sends back a false reading. Say if you are doing 85, cops points and pulls the trigger he may get a reading saying you are doing 190 or it might say you're doing 34.


As far as the cop pulling you over because you drive by him at what seems to be a high speed, I have to raise the BS flag on that, if they pull you over and give you a ticket without clocking you in any way shape or form, fight it and win in court. Now if you are dumb enough to keep speeding with a cop behind ( IE when he is pacing you to get your speed ) then you are dumb enough to get the ticket.
