Scientists Built a Drone That Becomes (Nearly) Invisible Without Any Cloaking Technology
Drone warfare has brought us one step closer to removing the human element from the act of killing, except for the part that’s being killed. It’s been one of the fastest and arguably most unsettling technological leaps of the last 25 years. So naturally, someone looked at that trajectory and wondered if maybe we should […] The post Scientists Built a Drone That Becomes (Nearly) Invisible Without Any Cloaking Technology appeared first on VICE.
With their straightforward movements and the ability to remain motionless in the air, drones are an eye-catcher in the sky. Researchers, however, have now found a way to construct a flying object in such a way that it seems to dissolve into air directly in front of our eyes. The "Phantom drone" uses a weakness in human perception.
Engineers at Northwestern University have created a drone that does not hide with camouflage or transparent materials. Instead, it spins so fast that it deceives human eyes and turns into a simple blurry stain....
A group of scientists designed a new invisible drone that rotates quickly to deceive human sight A team of experts presented a novel invention in the field of air navigation technology. It is a drone that manages to camouflage itself in the air to seem almost invisible. The device was named Phantom Twist. Its operation opens up new possibilities for undercover flights. Traditional designs seek to hide with special paint or transparent plastics t…
Researchers have designed a drone that exploits the limits of human vision to be discreet. The Phantom Twist turns on itself at 25 turns per second, until it looks like a slight blurred spot. A problem remains: it still gets along very well.
With its entire body rotating at up to 25 revolutions per second, the Phantom Twist creates a blurry blur for the human eye, making it approximately 10 times harder to detect than conventional drones.
