How to be invisible - Prof Simon

A Canadian company called 'Hypersteath' have come up with a 'lenticular'
invisibility screen. The plastic sheet hides in 3D also thermally and in a broad spectrum of wavelengths, objects placed behind. Guy Cramer is the CEO. I hope to do more on this invention when Guy gets back to me. Get in touch Guy. Prof Simon.

Thanks for being a PATREON of this channel, it really helps me make these films for you and feeds the goat.

The Hyperstealth invisibility shield is really amazing, for sure. To nitpic, it's not a 100% perfect invisibility shield, because the background appears a bit blurry, and some vertical features in the background don't come through. It would definitely be great for camouflage. It seems to work on the same principle as a "Fresnel Lens", which is a clear plastic sheet with circular grooves that acts like a normal glass lens. The big innovation was to realize that a Fresnel Lens can be modified to impart a sort of invisibility to objects that are on the other side of the Fresnel Lens. Mr. Cramer is the first person to realize this could be done, and it is a great innovation. His grandfather would be proud.

Thank you for showing people this allowing more to wake up

Hello Professor Simmons my first contact with you. I know it's a fact long time ago. Friend gave me a plastic magnifying glass. I looked at it and examined it closely it has spirals cut all the way to the center. Did some research and found out it was called a forensic Lens. The handle was broken and pulled it out and turned it in flexed it while looking at the golf course in my backyard. I noticed at one point the golf cart and golf guys were gone. So I played with it some more at my desk in a dark room. I came to the conclusion that I needed more focused light. Which I could've made of cardboard and a small hole little flashlight again to focus light. But I did not pursue it and I pulled it out of the drawer of my desk. Very creative instead of using circular cuts in the lens. All he had to do was make vertical or horizontal and angled cuts in the back of the plastic. Seems to be a lot of work for the invisibility. But for one time allusion I think it's well worth it. Now the United States Army has been working on flowing camouflage. Cameras in the back and your uniform is the screen in the front. I don't know if it's successful or not but it's got to be expensive.

The fact is we've all played around looking through frosty plastic sheets and lenses and bendy plastic looking at the effects...It is just the genius that takes you somewhere nobody else went.
Truly amazed at how effective these things are at this scale. Brilliant.

The latest tech that the military has uses a device that changes your frequency no longer needing a clumsy sheet of plastic

[beatrizcarbonell]

So many inventions that were part of Science Fiction readings in my youth!! Fascinating!!

6:18 - I remembered, "Foiled by a cheap cinematic trick!" a line from the movie, "What's New Pussycat?"

When the guy gets to the edge he should bend in the field....unless he is a vampire. Great video and thank you Guy. Thank you Professor Simon and Family💚

The us army from what I can tell has had a blanket invisibility cloak for about 20 years used for snipers or special ops but any attempts to even find out if its powered or not were futile but it is quite thick and has some weight to it so I would expect a camera, display technology of some kind. Good vid.

[briancrane]

"Invisibility Point" (really "plane") is correct...objects far behind the panel are more-or-less in focus but objects close to it show as blobs at the critical distance the light is scattered more-or-less uniformly. As such this is "partial concealment" not "invisibility"...notice the 'hidden' objects are all at the same distance behind the screen about 18 cm.

Thanks for your Knowledge and time and energy.

Ikea were selling film with lenticular lenses to stick on windows to screen them for privacy 14 years ago. Seems like a similar principle but with the lenses scaled way down in size.

Glad I liked your channel. I never know what surprise am i gonna get. Thanks!

The military’s already have this technology that’s why they didn’t want to buy it. They have a higher quality product. They’ve been creating this tech since the early 1900’s

[stawmy]

It's a Fresnel lens for sure, and the same tech used in those 3-d cards & posters. Another form of stealth used was to coat say, an aircraft with a paint containing micro-spheres of glass. The spheres will also bend most of the light around the craft to make it a fuzzy blob, much the same way as if you hold a hair in front of your eyes, and bring it closer until the hair is invisible, your eye is simply looking around it. The 'glass triangle' photo's are maybe evidence of this kind of stealth being deployed. Fresnel developed these lenses for lighthouses, so they no longer needed a solid lens 3 feet thick, but a lenticular lens just 1 or 2 in inches thick, all lighthouses and most cars use this type of lens today. Actually it's a compound lens, not a lenticular (which is latin for lens shaped). :D

[benburton]

All objects are a set distance from the lens . You cant stick it directly to a tank. Needs light infront and behind to wash the the refraction angle out. Like a flip movement changing image.

[groen]

Wow once again a very interesting subject brought to our attention thanks professor Simon i love it.

[curtishill]

Missed you and your morning video today...hope all is well💯

[InkDropFalls]

Wow you made video on this topic, amazing...

Ghost in the shell Springs to mind when i first seen this tech

[curtishill]

Was it your channel, I watched the just the other day, about a paint that does the same thing!! Thanks Professor 👍👍👀☝
