Now You See Me…Now You Don’t!




Hi ya! How’s tricks? Keeping fit and out of mischief? Nah…neither am I. Brewed up a new pot of coffee in your honour along with a splendid array of aromamungous virtual treats. (He’s creating new words again, like!) Well, if I don’t find a word I want to use, I make one up. Aromamungous is easy to understand if you think about it, eh. Huge and with a tantalizingly delicious aroma. Makes sense to me, eh. But speaking of not seeing something… 

Created by Canadian camouflage design company Hyperstealth, Quantum Stealth is a is a material that renders its wearer completely invisible by bending light waves around it, which is in effect very similar to the invisibility cloak worn child wizard extraordinaire, Harry Potter. Whoa, eh!
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could put on your very own invisibility cloak and just roam around undetected? Sadly, that’s not going to be possible for most of us, but if you’re a US soldier, this fantasy could become a reality sooner than you think. Apparently, the US Military is currently backing development of special materials to make American soldiers completely invisible on the battlefield, and according to one camouflage design company, it might soon get its wish. 

Hyperstealth Biotechnology Corp. CEO, Guy Cramer, says their new “Quantum Stealth” material has finally made the sci-fi/fantasy technology a reality. Unfortunately at this time, we can only take his word for it, as its development is so secret that the company cannot even show footage of how it works, on its website, offering only mock-ups of its effects.

Questions? Get them to the guy before he disappears before your very eyes. No, I don’t want to know about your fantasies…wearing an invisible cloak and… (Why do visions of Porky’s 1-2-3 come to mind?).  

See ya, eh!
