Inflatable radar reflector
I never posted this Useless Idea because I thouhgt it was a good one.
I was about to file the provisional patent application till I did a check on the USPTO website and found I am 4 yrs too late. So........ Most radar refelctors are a pain in the ass, especially the most effective ones, the corner refelctor ones. Some are preassembled and are a pain to store. The one I have consists of 3 interlocking metallized foam sheets that has to be assembled. Then, they have to be mounted in the "catch rain" position which is difficult sometimes. I wanted to make an inflatable one, sort of like a beach ball with the three orthogonal planes made from metallized thin plastic on the inside of the beachball. It would be weighted so it always hung in the right position. I bet I could make these for $1.00 and sell them for $20.00. Unfortunately, somebody beat me to it, it was patented in 2000. Now, I want one but will not take the trouble to make it since it may already exist. Anybody know where to get something like this? |
