Combine the following:

● The thermal cloaking concentric rings developed by Sebastien Guenneau at the Institut Fresnel in France.

● The electromagnetic cloak cylinder from Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona, Spain.

 

Add them up, you get the Battlefield Invisibility Uniform (BIU) worn by all our future war fighters.

  • I just love this cartoon and its style. The article is interesting, too. Let's hope the Klingons don't get ahold of this.

     

    Glad I stopped in to check your cartoon. Great as always.

  • They may not be able to see you, but if you step on a mine, they will not be able to find your dead body either.

     

    It reminds me of an experiment where they used IR absorbing blankets to hide generators on the battlefield.  Unfortunately, they parked them under trees, which absorbed the heat from the generators and glowed in the IR spectrum for many miles.

     

    You have to consider the whole system, not just certain parts.

     

    Still, a funny picture.
