Mirage effect helps researchers hide objects

[jasaguayo]

But will it blend?

The new panic room...... The fish tank

[1TheBlueWii1]

*Insert Crysis reference here*

[jasaguayo]

@1TheBlueWii1 I'm not sure if I'm right, but I think halo 1 was the first game to have characters that could use invisibility.

[1TheBlueWii1]

@jasaguayo You are right. But in Crysis, you hear an awesome voice saying "Cloak Engaged.".

[coreyaustinmiller]

It's a mirage effect more than it is invisibility... but it may prove useful one day.

[aletter1718]

This is some crazy shit. Let's give this to our navy seals. :)

[Kusuriurite]

@aletter1718 the sad thing is I don't think they'd get much use out of it nor our submarine vessels since most weapons aren't designated visually anymore and our ability to see in the water with visual spectrum isn't that great to begin with. I can see it working in the bahamas to hide from visual surveillance from aircraft in midday but past that, kinda useless till it works in air.

[MavHunter20XX]

It turned itself into a mirror.

[Gibbons3000]

so if this works by heating the nanotubes, it'll do the exact opposite through infrared goggles, right?

[SavageInsight]

@Gibbons3000 The question is how much heat energy is transmitted by the water after it absorbs from the nano-tubes. They might figure out a water-gel that works, but hides the heat.  Still, this is just phase one. They still need to cancel out radar signature, etc.

[PureMadness]

Yup. Witchcraft.

[CosmosusMagnus]

*looks at comments expecting arguments* yup

[andresivan4]

thats all the time i need to kill a templar! >:D

[ZanyRocket]

If you read how they made this work - then it's not actual invisibility - the sheet just turns into a mirror - look at the sheet supports - they're not visible when the sheet is activated, because it is reflecting light from the left. And the tech is nothing new - just a heat mirage, like you see on the horizon.

Nothing to see here, folks (I'm ever so sorry).

[commetsmasher]

@ZanyRocket controllable mirages are certainly nothing that has been done before. And while a mirror is just as effective at bending light, that isn't the point of this experiment. This kind of technology would be applied to military vehicles, which would be incredibly useful because all you can see in a desert is sand and sky, so concealing something like a tank with mirrors would be that hard, but mirrors break and it would be impractical. nano tubes are light and basically indestructible.

[ZanyRocket]

@commetsmasher You've got a point, but the military applications may result in a large problem in the infrared spectrum due to the heat output from these sheets (if they can manage to keep the sheets in one piece out of water). Many military vehicles are equipped with infrared sights that would make this an effective beacon during daylight. Plus nano-tubes are only comparatively "indestructible". At the thickness used in the video, I'm sure that they are easily tearable.

[ZanyRocket]

@commetsmasher Also, a controllable mirage is not something never done before - it's just the speed of switching that's new, in my opinion. Any hot, flat surface can make a mirage in air.

[Priest105]

Is it possible to replicate that with air?

[cocopuf97]

NOW THAT'S SOME PREDATOR SHIT RIGHT THERE!

[TheIkawatay]

If you dont want your mom caught you masturbating in your bedroom this is it!!!

[x360m4]

thats off the leash !

[bat7j]

If this really uses the mirrage-effect (refracting light), then it would be "invisible" only if viewed from certain angles and in an environment of a certain color. So, "masking" would be more accurate.

[dakax43]

Pedobear approves

[x360m4]

@dakax43 hahaahhahah lmao hahahaahah

[jasonwupilly1997]

50 bucks says the guy who made this is named "Jacob Hargreave"

[HudsonMayBeRight]

If it bleeds we can kill it.

[Labratoria]

WoW WoW WoW! :O

[TheMrAlexander]

I remember being excited about this when we did it in my school science lessons 16 years ago. Well done guys, you've earned those smiley face stickers on your homework.

[penguinsarebeast33]

i gotta get me one of these!

[calin001]

Photoshop Cloning :)

[Mandemon1990]

Now somebody mount it on a tank and call it Mirage Tank...

[SavageInsight]

So basically this works by bending light the same way heat waves do over a blacktop, desert or horizon? I feel very *facedesk* - the concept answer has been with me since I was 2.

[fadubiela]

a calor gerado e a energia necessária num se´r facil, mais temos o primeiro tipo com baixa tecnologia, falta agora uma dose de engenharia pra as curvas de luz e aplicabilidade,

[johnbutler2121]

awesome!

[nightrunnerize]

Thats what the aliens are going to use when they come get us and take us to their planet

[pillshere1000]

- Cloak engaged -

[BalaSpain]

y por que es necesaria el agua en el experimento? imagino que para bajar la temperatura y que el objeto vuelva a verse...

pero...solo se ve desde un angulo...seria invisible desde mas angulos de vision? o solamente desde ese especificamente?

[Eltheantes]

eso es falso fijo... si realmente desaparecia (tambien segun como) desaparecia uniformemente a mi me da la sensacion de que son tiras que se repliegan no se.... quizas sea cierto o quizas no

[Viktir666]

Now to make a +5 cloak of invisibility.

Oh no! Ninjas, I cannot see their moves!

[martinponcianoescalo]

[Makxbi]

The carbon nanotube sheet is a spy!

[Starcraft2Studios]

We're doomed.

[sprigletstudios]

Crysis!

[wolvesXD]

@sprigletstudios turn on thermal vision, fucked either way

[RemBot2000]

This shit scares me. I thought we weren't supposed to get this capability until we were already in a highly advanced civilization that wouldn't use this to kill people.

[kakureru]

moo

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

[nickdonley]

last 5 comments referenced crysis

[dolph123454321]

This + something bulletproof and light + some really strong drugs = nanosuit

[TheRainbowMinion]

@dolph123454321 These carbon nano tubes are extremely light and can be use to make a bullet proof vest. Maybe even explosive proof vest. However the carbon nano tube maybe toxic, do not know yet.

Carbon is awesome, just check out what you can do with graphite or in this case graphene. MWA HAHAAHA.

That sheet is a SPY!!

[grzesiek1094]

LoL like in Crysis.

[ShantyManCan]

Does it only work in water? Still water? I wish to know!

[BarakaTheGreat]

@ShantyManCan It's because the water has to be heated, as long as the sheets reach the same temperature it will turn transparent

[ShantyManCan]

@BarakaTheGreat So it requires more energy to do it in the air? Or a liquid the only medium it can work in?

[BarakaTheGreat]

@ShantyManCan From what I've heard, liquid is the only thing it can work in as of now.

FAKE

[davlor86]

@hipermatriz i don't get it, why is there always an idiot on Youtube who never believes anything and post a very "creative and original" comment saying "Fake" Im sorry but it kind of pisses me off...i think people who post the "fake" comment should at least give an explanation about why they think is fake, don't you think? well it's just my opinion.

[hipermatriz]

@davlor86 NO

[davlor86]

@hipermatriz haha u got mad bro?

[SirezX]

@davlor86

I know this was two weeks ago and all but yeah...it pisses me the fuck off too...I like to call them the 'Fake And Gay' commenters...F.A.G.s ::nod::

It seems I am not the only spy..gentlemen

[platinumsoulja01]

i just know for sure that the military already jumped on this

they are building Nano-suits like in Crysis

[mvszao]

Infrared scanner will detect only if infrar. electromagnetic waves are passing through. You can design a material that absorbs it and the sensor will not get it. Just like glass does. Infrared cameras doesn't sees you if you're behing a glass door.

[leogatobhzte]

wow soon we gonna be just like the PREDATOR!!!

[MSDOS128]

InfraRed scanner will detect this cloak

[Aar0nDavis]

HOW DARE YOU STEAL HARRY POTTER'S INVISIBILITY CLOAK! I AM ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED! HARRY IS NOW FACING AN INQUIRY AT WORK AND IT'S ENTIRELY YOUR FAULT! IF YOU PUT ANOTHER TOE OUT OF LINE, WE'LL SEND YOU STRAIT HOME!

Oh and to your sister who is a scientist. Congratulations on making an invisibility cloak dear. Your father and I are so proud!

[ZepYTprodz]

@Aar0nDavis was that meant to be funny? Not only do you look like a complete douche, but a potter fanboy on youtube? seriously?

[Aar0nDavis]

@ZepYTprodz Why so serious?

[SirezX]

@Aar0nDavis

xD after "I AM ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED" I became more interested in reading the rest of your howler like comment :D I was pleasantly amused...

[Aar0nDavis]

@SirezX I figured. I wonder how many likes it gets.

[Nordlys]

I can do this with a coin and a glass of water.

[Dregkar]

@Nordlys Pics or it didnt happen.

[Nordlys]

@Dregkar Put the coin under the glass of water and try to spot it by looking through the side of the glass. (Light is refracted, because it travels slower in water than in air.)

I don't quite get what they are researching here. What they are doing is already well known, but I guess they are trying to make a usable product. Whatever it is, I can see it being used as an invisibility screen (shield), but it seems very far from an invisibility cloak. I am sure the heat is immense.

[Dregkar]

@Nordlys Ahh I get it now, I just think they're researching it to make it ready for military use. But they have a ways to go it seems with problems like the heat (like you said) and making it durable.

yeah, stealth tanks fro C&C are closer

[RemusNeo]

They should test in on a human!:D

[smithnicholas90]

spy around here

[wipexe]

clear, that the video was conducted at an angle on purpose.

[sergiomcfly]

@wipexe The angle is on purpose to reflect that back "cream color wall" by the blade sheets when they get heated (its similar to the desert vision making the sand looks like water; its the SKY reflex going through your eyes)

[paintballer9110]

@wipexe Well then, why don't you download the paper for free and conduct the experiment yourself. 

[12Edix21]

@wipexe At least something :S .

Its not that easy to find a way to do what he did.

[WeskerUmbrella4]

@wipexe it was done at an angle because you wouldn't see that it says "invisibility cloaks".same thing with holographic picture you used to get at mcdonald's.

i think that this works at any angle.

[MrPalrus]

Stealth-boy tests?

[luizgerk]

however it's not a complete invisibility, its only parcial

[Greenscape317]

@luizgerk Still blondes wont know im there :P
