I watched a video a few years ago of a lambo with a switch that would block out his license plate with an electrical charge. Well I figured out how and where to get the main piece of glass and how to rig it up. Im going to be assembling one in a few weeks.

I know they are illegal as all holy hell to use on the road, but that being said Im sick of paying Illinois tolls at double the rate of ipass users. So I figured I would give this a shot. I can stay in the Ipass lanes and not pay the crooks at the same time.

Anyways its basically a piece of glass with crystals in it. When you hook up an electrical charge it scrambles the crystals so you cant see through it..at all. Then when you take the charge away the crystals line up and you can see right through it again.

Im not sure how fragile it is to weather or anything yet. Good thing it gets bad out here quick so I can test it.

Do you think there would be any interest out there for this product if I could get it out to people for about $180? Given that in itself would pay a decent amount of tolls, I just really hate toll roads that much that Im going to build one for myself anyways. FYI Illinois tolls are .80 to $1.00 for non-ipass cars.
