This Canadian company claims to have made an actual invisibility cloak
A Canada-based company, Hyperstealth Biotechnology has recently developed camouflage uniforms for military forces which can help in disguising soldiers.
The idea of an invisibility cloak that has been toyed in many movies. Harry Potter's invisibility cloak that allows him to walk around undetected had always intrigued us. Life could be a lot of fun with this magic or technology. What if we tell you that the idea has finally become a reality. A Canada-based company, Hyperstealth Biotechnology has recently developed camouflage uniforms for military forces across the globe which can help in disguising soldiers.
The “Quantum Stealth” material
According to reports, the company has applied for patent for a new “Quantum Stealth” material, which can help in disguising soldiers, tanks or even troops. It took ten years for the company to successfully prepare four patents. After years of dedication and handwork, the company has finally released the products in the international markets.
According to reports, the product is a thin sheet that will make things invisible to naked human eyes, by bending the light around a target to make it seemingly disappear. This light can be in the visible spectrum, ultraviolet, infrared, or shortwave infrared light. That is why the company is calling it a ‘broadband invisibility cloak.’ It is similar to the invisibility cloak as described in JK Rowling's fictional series Harry Potter — a thin sheet that can bend light, making the person or thing standing behind it virtually invisible.
Both excited and concerned: Guy Cramer
The Chief Executive and President at Hyperstealth Biotechnology Corp, Guy Cramer recently announced that he was extremely happy and excited about the fact that he is finally able to release the final product on which he had been working for the last nine years. He also lauded the efforts of his entire team in the project.
He also added that he is both excited as well as concerned for the different uses the product will be employed in future.
Along with the invisibility cloaking, the company had announced three other patent applications using the same material. These include a ‘solar panel amplifier’, a ‘holographic display system’ and ‘Laser Scattering, Deviation and Manipulation’.
