I know that there was something like this that was actually an add on for a camera that could look through certain types of clothes. But this is like MASS see through.

Sort of sad at the end, but they do say they can get rid of the harmful effects.

Welcome to the future!

So it's not just stealth technology, it's also remote death ray technology.

I wonder if the US military will contract this guy to build death ray/X-ray guns! That would be sweet!

*uses death x-ray gun*

Guns arn't the problem, people are the problem, shoot all the people and guns arn't a problem anymore.

The more pertinant question is probably... What Stealth Technologies?

Last time I recalled, there was that Jap guy who'd invented the material that utilised projection technology to render the wearer invisible but it was hardly flawless. o_0 now i'm kinda wondering what the hell was ment by Stealth.

Yeah, I was a little disappointed not to see what it would look like when working.

This sounds like a hoax. Stealth bombers are invisible to radar because they are very thin mainly. Not because of their material. Also, he saw through his hand to the blood vessels, and muscles, which is far less dense than seeing through a wall. He should have seen through his entire hand to what was behind it. The settings would have to be adjustable to see partly into his hand. But in that case, he would have said that he saw halfway through his car to the engine, not his number plate which would have taken precise adjustment on his visibility settings, if they are adjustable. Also, the site says that his hand went numb after awhile, but in the pictures he seems to be posing with his hands in lots of different positions. Plus, the machine is built from crap. It appears to be made from bike parts, wood, and other cheap materials. The bear suit also shows low intelligence from this person. Why would someone want to approach a bear anyway?

Sounds totally hoax.

I think he's a bit of a nutter - he was attacked by a bear now spends his time researching anti-bear armour . Like his fire paste, he does'nt want to patent it or manufacture it, he just wants to sell the formula for $5m to fund his bear-bothering suit.

It's hard to dislike people like that, they're nuts but harmless, I'd love to spend all day researching pointless inventions, or legitimate inventions to help fund my lunacy.

edit: Looks like I was reading wrong again



I want to know why bother carting this huge thing around that can hurt your allies when you can just look round the wall or blow it up (still hurting your mates but heh).

And I don't see how you can see through a wall by shining a big over-powerd torch on it...you could you some kind of EM (xrays etc) radar system and output it to a screen but not so it looks like that...

yeah it does sound pretty hokey, considering the physics that he could see the car instead of through teh car, and he could see the stuff in his hand instead of right through. Anyone who believes in this is a moron, and if thats you then hey...

Reading more of the linked threads, it looks like a movie promotion. There was a movie made about his bear suit, and I presume that there will be a movie about this Angle Beam Device. So this is to cash in on a movie in my opinion.

The article abou the wall see through thingy looks fake. How can a machine break a car, electric plane and microwave? Didn't he bother finding out what had broken within them?

Just a little work about his bear suit, its pretty logical really , if i was in a deep sea diving suit i dont think a bear would get through that either, his one just has a thick hockey mask instead of a glass bubble !

Pfft, nothing new here (other than the pic of Uberwigget ). Someone should tell that guy that a device for looking through walls has existed for thousands of years. It's called a window. There's another one that lets you WALK through walls too.

Just kick it if someone points it at you(if you're quick enough, you'll break it)...

EDIT: Forgot it wasn't instant, if someone points it at you, you'll probably have a couple hours to kick it...
