A Real Invisibility Shield | How Does It Work?

Hi everyone, if you're new to my channel my name is Ben. I read all of your comments and reply to as many as I can. While you're here you may be interested in some of my other videos, like this one where I re-invent a lost supermaterial 'Starlite': kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6K1ZZKLpKd8sLs Or maybe this video where I speak with a retired aerospace engineer that has turned his expertise toward making incredible backyard rollercoasters: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iaTVl3WujL6rhbM How about running a gasoline engine on firewood?

[@theeloquenteccentric8321]

@@joebidenofficialpotus Well, then it the illusion is defused, I guess. But I don't think the military would make a shield so confusing for the wielder though. There is almost always only one comfortable way to wield something. Say, you don't point a gun at yourself or hold it upside down. Not only that, but it will probably be in the shape of a rectangle to hide the entire body; not a square or a circle. As such, it will be almost always necessary to hold it vertically to feel stable. In any case, that would be hilarious all the same.

@Michael kilby You're going to have to back that up, since the patent for Lubor's lens trick specifies "providing a lenticular screen having a series of parallel lenticules".

[@CineSoar]

@Michael kilby You made the claim that the Lubor's lens is "completely different" than a lenticular lens, that it "operates on more dimensions" and "bares no comparison". I've cited the original patent application, which describes a parallel lenticular lens array. Now, you say "it would be easy to rebuttal [sic] the citations" and yet, here we are... no citations, no links to drawings, or credible descriptions of just how the lubor's lens differs 'completely' from a lenticular lens. That is what I meant, when I said, "You're going to have to back that up".

Guy: *Demonstrates item* Guy: Now let me demonstrate item.

[@GeorgeDolbier]

I was once shown A great way to explain how these work. Lenticular lenses use a similar property as Fresnel lenses. A curved surface, glass or plastic, will bend light. Or more generally, light bends at the interface between to optical materials, Air and water, air and glass, air and plastic. This is how magnifying glasses, and camera lenses work. a typical camera lens is curved on one side and flat on the other. The bending occurs at the surface of the curve. any bulk between the flat part of the lens and the curved part is not necessary for the lensing effect. So if you slice a lens, in this case horizontally, into thin slices, you can remove all the material between the curved part and the flat part, then put them all the remaining parts back together. now you have a lens that has the same optical properties as the original bulky curved piece of glass/plastic, but in a nice, easy to manufacture, uniform width. This effect scales to very large, and very small, and also works with horizontal slices, vertical slices, circles (Fresnel), waves, random slices. This process can also be conducted on a prism, which could be thought of as a lens, only with flat surfaces. A prism bends light. Lenticular lenses can be thught of as the "flattening" of a prism in the same way a fresnel lens "flattens" a curved magnifying glass. This makes a lot of sense if you have a drawing of a magnifying lens from a side on view, act as an illustration.

Hi Ben. Newbie to your antics , just found you. .

Also remove the leds from the tv as the voltage to run them are horrendous, and replace with 12v rgbw. They also make for an excellent daylight in dark corners of your home / hallway / staircase.
