I also remember at one time we created a light reflector with two mirrors and bought a cheap temperature sensor so we could measure how hot it got between the two mirrors when we shone a light in between.
There was no limit to those things and what they could do.
My friend had one and we wired microphones into it and since his room was line of site we basically had the ability to talk by radio during Flames games.

I'd love to get my son (14) one of these. Who makes anything similar nowadays?
