Low tech fixes for high tech problems

I'm not sure I like the idea of using my head as a conductor. :shock:

[b]Remote Car Key

Suppose your remote car door opener does not have the range to reach your car across the parking lot. Hold the metal key part of your key fob against your chin, then push the unlock button. The trick turns your head into an antenna, says Tim Pozar, a Silicon Valley radio engineer.

Mr. Pozar explains, ⿿You are capacitively coupling the fob to your head. With all the fluids in your head it ends up being a nice conductor. Not a great one, but it works.⿝ Using your head can extend the key⿿s wireless range by a few car lengths.

Would not work with mine, I have just bought a new Toyota Avensis and it relocks itself if too far away.
