Would like some help from some of your more technically advanced people out there! My fourth grade son is doing a science fair project and is interested in the infrared tv remotes. We have been looking at how the signal from the remote can be reflected back to the receiver in the TV. To date almost everything seems to reflect the IR energy, even dish towels at short distances. Any suggestions?

Have you tried something black?

We haven't tried anything black. We've been focusing on different surfaces; plates (glass and dinnerware),cloth, paper, basically whatever you find around a kitchen. Is the color of the reflector as important as the type of surface?

Pretty much -- just like sunlight. White reflects, black absorbs.
