Could my I.R lowpass goggles work without using light from the sun?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the functionality of I.R Lowpass goggles in a science project investigating the near-infrared spectrum. The goggles can operate with light sources other than sunlight, as they are designed to work with any white light. The project involves creating a stage with various colored objects illuminated by multiple lamps to observe color differences due to the I.R lowpass effect. Additionally, there is a note about the goggles primarily blocking most colors, similar to deep purple filters used in photography. The goggles will effectively serve their purpose in the planned experiment.

For this science project I'm doing, i am going to be investigating the I.R Lowpass (a.k.a: Near infrared spectrum) with goggles i shall soon be constructing based on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2-nP2xl9Zg&feature=player_embedded"

This question may be a bit silly but will my goggles work with light other than sun light, my plan is to create a small stage setting with different objects of different colours and then shine the light from multiple lamps on it so i can note any differences in colour caused by the I.R lowpass.

Thanks for any replies :)

I've relized this is probably not the write place for this question. Does anyone know how i can move it to a different section of the forum?
 
These aren't infrared. They just block most colors, you can buy deep purple filters that photographers use to estimate what a monochrome shot will look like.

They will 'work' with any white light,
 
Thanks

My water meter is submerged under water for about 95% of the year. Today I took a photograph of the inside of my water meter box because today is one of the rare days that my water meter is not submerged in water. Here is the photograph that I took of my water meter with the cover on: Here is a photograph I took of my water meter with the cover off: I edited the photograph to draw a red circle around a knob on my water meter. Is that knob that I drew a red circle around my meter...
Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...
