Ammon – British scientists invented the “invisibility cap”, which has always remained a kind of science fiction, and was the subject of jokes and ridicule. What was yesterday just a fantasy in stories and novels has become a reality in life, at a simple and limited cost.
According to a report published by the British newspaper “Daily Mail”, and viewed by “Al Arabiya.net”, scientists have created a large shield that obscures vision and makes the wearer invisible to others. What is noteworthy is that the cost of this magical shield does not reach a thousand US dollars, which means It may soon become accessible to the general public.
According to the specifications, the “large invisible shield” is 6 feet long and can hide several people using new technology that uses light bending.
The report said that the price of one shield is 699 British pounds (880 US dollars only), which means that its cost is not high.
The British newspaper says that millions of people have dreamed since their childhood of wearing the “invisibility cloak”, which has spread widely due to its appearance in the stories and novels of Harry Potter, and this is what has become possible now to come true, as this dream may become a reality, as scientists have developed a “shield”. Huge to hide.
The shield uses a precisely designed array of lenses to bend light, making objects behind it nearly invisible. Unlike Harry Potter’s cloak, the shield is large enough to conceal multiple people standing side by side.
The company (Invisibility Shield Co), which created this shield capable of concealing humans, said: “We have you covered,” adding that “this shield is the brainchild of the London-based company, which came up with the initial idea in 2022.” She pointed out that the shield bears the name (Megashield) and is the first of its kind in the world.
The company says that since the idea began in 2022, it has been developing and testing many identity cloaking devices, before arriving at the latest design.
The large shield is 6 feet long and 4 feet wide, and is made of high-quality polycarbonate.
Using a precisely designed lens array, reflected light from the person behind the shield is directed away from the person in front.
The company that owned this invention added: “The lenses in this array are oriented so that the vertical strip of light reflected from the standing object becomes spread out when it spreads horizontally when passing through the back of the shield.”
“In contrast, the band of light reflected from the background is much wider, so when it passes through the back of the shield, a much larger portion of it is refracted through the shield and toward the observer. From the observer’s point of view, this background light is smeared horizontally across the shield,” she continued. The front face of the shield, above the area where the target would normally be seen.”
