I saw it way back in the day on Beyond 2000 discovery channel. Man I miss those shows.

Default They have it for houses...

My parents have it in their bathroom. I think the problem is they default to opaque, and you need power to be clear, which is dangerous in a car.

Default All you have to do reverse engineer and cross mojonizate the stratafanibulator...

and re-adjust the finnigan pin on the johnson rod. Then you can hook them up to your car using a blasted symoflange and it will work just fine.

Except the phaduborator valve will stick & then your muffler bearings wear out quicker.

Default I had the idea for that kind of application like 20 yrs ago but never had the resources to pursue.

I still think the best approach would be a solid-state crystaline matrix suspended in a thin film that would change its polarity when a positive or negative charge was applied. This removes the issue of its non-powered state being opaque or clear. In fact, it means power is only involved when changing state and therefore is MUCH more power efficient.

I have still not seen a really good implementation of this kind of application.
