In the last pateron hangout I mentioned some of the fun things I was doing with this camera (believe me.. this video is only scratching the surface!). Folks there were rather keen that I get a better IR camera, and when I told them decent IR cameras run ~$2-20k they suggested I should crowd fund it. Any thoughts?
+Thunderf00t Hello, can you actually explain how Infrared and Heat are related? For instance, I understand that seeing the visible spectrum is actually only seeing the visible spectrum of "reflected" light from the surface you are viewing. Assuming Infrared works the same, why does the temperature of the surface being viewed change the infrared signal, but temperature doesn't seem to change the visible spectrum (at least not on the same 1-2 deg F scale)? Or am I totally off base? Love the Science Always! Tylr
So if you knew an enemy was using infrared cameras to find you, a sheet of glass with a handle on it (almost like a tower shield) would be your best bet at hiding from them. Pretty neat stuff!
That is actually very cool. Thank you for sharing that. I love random bits of information that I have no clue how else I would have obtained. Keep it up, Thunderfoot! Really like your stuff.
As a UK Firefighter, we use thermal Image cameras a lot. As part of our training, when searching for people, it is highlighted that you cannot see through windows, or water.They also throw up a whole bunch of problems when you encounter a mirror.
ArcturanMegadonkey haha.. The bag will fuse with their skin and they are forever invisible! Hear hear ISIS.. We are waiting for our check for this tech breakthrough 😂😂😂😂
You should have made a distinction between the near or reflective infrared that infrared film can capture and the far or thermal infrared that you were dealing with in your video. For those that don't know, the IR that's next to the visible spectrum isn't thermal; it's reflected light, but it reveals things not as noticeable in visible light. Then, as you go to longer wavelengths, there's a range of frequencies where the atmosphere wont pass light. As you continue to go to lower frequency and longer wavelength, the atmosphere becomes transparent again in the thermal IR range.
In Afghanistan, they took to using large blankets. hear a helicopter coming, just lay down by a rock, and throw the blanket over top of yourself, and you're invisible for a good few minutes
Reflective things play tricks on thermals too. My grandma got some infrared goggles because she thought people were sneaking around her property at night. She had me stop by to get them running( read the manual, put in batteries and turn it on) Well I looked outside at the snow to test them to make sure it was actual thermal and not a fancy filter. It showed the snow as hot! It may have been cold out, but the sun reflecting off of the snow looked hot. I then had her turn on the electric stove top and you couldn't visibly see it, but the goggles sure could. I then warned her that it would still be hard to see people and animals with them in winter due to their winter gear and thick fur insulating them.
wow, I've been thinking what could I use to block visible but not IR.. rubbish bags! never even crossed my mind.. that's the most useful genius tip I got in a while. thanks
Kool vid... I did some black and white infrared nature photography at one point. And the results, when I got just the right amount of "out of focus" on my lens, were quite stunning, where a waterfall, rocks, and the sky appeared black and the surrounding vegetation came out as if it was covered in snow... bright white.
Benjamin Philipp I will when I get a scanner for my negatives. The other copies I have are rather large (and mounted on my walls). Some of my more recent stuff (including some work with a Hasselblad) can be found on Flickr under *wordman760*
+boriss vassiljev Give it time. Because as the feminist prophet onse said: Everything is sexist, everything is racist and you have to point it all out. And who am I to question a prophet?
What I'm really curious about is how the IR camera reacts to amount of heat energy vs. how it reacts to temperature. Will a substance with low specific heat that carries a small amount of heat energy but has a high temperature show up brighter than higher s.h. and a low temperature?
I recall the sequence in the film "predator" where Arnold Schwarzenegger uses mud to hide his thermal signature. I think the infra-red has some superimposed high contrast image to help discern outlines of objects in this video. I am curious about millimeter wave imaging, is there a good video on the subject? Edit: apparently only with projecting a "light". Can black-body radiation be used also to create an image or extrapolate information? Edit: googled it for myself: thermal imaging is essentially black body radiation. Here's one: how about UHF/VHF imaging?
+Nadav Igra Millimeter waves are at the end of the spectrum of microwaves. Bodies typically emit in the 6-14 micrometer range (at least those are the ranges those cameras are sensitive to), which depends on surface material and temperature, also called blackbody radiation. You'd need to project microwaves to get microwave imaging, unless the body you're trying to study emits microwaves on its own for some reason. Also who knows about reflectivity and transparence. I guess plates that don't heat up in the microwave oven would be transparent.
You seem like a really cool person. (No pun intended) I like people I could learn from. I could follow you around and pick your brain on all sorts of topics. But since that would seem weird please keep making videos.
Jasper Prichard Fair enough. At the end of one or two of his more "sciency" type videos he said that. I could imagine that being a thing he would do purposefully, I think he should.
piercesto They named their country by pulling letters out of a hat, they got CND. As the person pulled it out, he announced them: "C ay? N ay? D ay?" This was misunderstood as C-A-N-A-D-A
I used to have so much fun with thermal camera when doing electrical revisions :D. I remember how main electrical room in Varta used to shine like crazy because the whole place was running at like 120% all the time. All of that was accompanied by massive noise from fuse boxes ranging around at least 90 db. Figured that while normal mirror is not very good at reflecting infrared, copper and zinc are great at it.
+Thunderf00t I'm currently writing a bit of fiction involving a species with primarily thermal vision. Your video has given me some welcome inspiration on the subject.
Would be cool to see this with a metal like Al foil to block both spectral ranges. I assume it would work far better than glass or perspex because it probably wouldn't show the hot spots from the hands since thermal conductivity is so high and heat capacity is low. (Which is why you can touch Al foil right after taking it out of your kitchen oven even though the food inside or under it will burn you.)
Love your science videos. They always have something cool and interesting. Some things I just never happend to think about. Like what materials block infrared.
Thunderf00t: If you want to cut the image mixing (outline), put a piece of black tape over the visible camera lens. Good for looking at power panels for hot spots, heat leakage in your walls and roof leaks (wet spots will be cooler).
This is a topic I have been thinking about. The best tactic I could come up with was dragging a wet or damp blanket behind you on a short rope when you are defending from helicopters with distinct audio signatures... then drag the damp blanket over you when you hear helicopters above. With military helicopters, they often have superior optics and can target you from a distance you cannot hear the chopper from so you would have to cover up permanently some other way, which I cannot figure out
When it comes to your videos, it was the creationist/feminist response videos that drew me in, but it's videos like these that keep me watching your stuff.
The FIR camera you have is sensitive to wavelengths from 8 to 14 microns in the far infrared. Those wavelengths are a window between strong H2O and CO2 absorption line above and below... The human body has a surface temperature of about 300 K. The blackbody radiation peak for an object at 300 K is 9.6 microns which falls within the FIR window.
As much as I love you watching you deliver DDTs and Piledrivers to feminists and Muslims alike, it's stuff like this that I enjoy seeing you do the most.
I just wanted to say, I'm infatuated with your mind. I feel for you as young girls do pop boy band. thank you so much for every video you have or will ever make.
OK, I want one. I remember the old infra-red infantry night vision equipment we had in the 80s: "OK, that looks like a man-blob..." Technological advance over the last few decades has been amazing.
Stainless steel also blocks infrared quite a lot. The asphalt ignition ovens that I used to work with burn at 550 degrees C, but the outside of the door will only read 50 degrees C on an IR thermometer (even though the door is so hot that you'd scorch your hand on it if you left it on there for just a few seconds).
Nice video. I am subbed to this channel for these kind of videos mainly. Not that I'm complaining about the feminism videos and the social commentary on feminists and neo-progressives. I also like those. The videos, not the feminists. ;)
TF, you forgot infrared reflection. In university physics course we got to play around with an IR camera, and quickly realized that a matte painted mdf tabletop was infrared reflective. You could see the heat specular reflections of people standing around the table, even though you can only see diffuse reflection of the visible spectrum. In this video you could have shown a smooth white surface that works like an infrared mirror without reflecting your visible image.
Hi. Just want to say i appreciate that you took time to make this video and share it with us, so thank you. Also there are alot of comments so i apologize if this has been addressed already, but what would happen if you put the bin liner over top or behind the glass sheet looking thing? Perspex? Sorry lol i didnt catch what it was called. Would love to hear anyones opinions on this or any other ideas that have worked
So, in order to hide from an infrared camera, you need to surround yourself in an insulating material and keep that material from warming up on the surface. An interesting challenge. You would need some kind of heat battery to store excess body heat (something very cold, like a source of decompressed liquid nitrogen)
I have extensive experience with infrared, but at around 53 seconds in you are conflating the two, and the "thermal imaging" is red instead of the more monochrome black/white. What type of camera were you using on the infrared side, as it appeared to do both. Also, whats fun is to use a water atomizer, a really fine mist and hit it with infrared, 850nm or 940nm, either works but 850nm is my favorite. Had a nosey neighbor one time that always aimed his cameras at my home. I went and got a water mister, it produces almost a fog. That proved to be quite the curtain apparently. He was quite upset, and when the night was windy, it swirled it around and at times would coat the lens with moisture, further obscuring vision. I had tried for months the diplomatic method to no avail. I cannot confirm nor deny that there may have been the tiniest amount of food grade glycerin infused into the mix to make it "possibly" stick to the lens of the cameras. It got really old for him climbing the ladder to get things working again for him so he eventually cried uncle.

+Clairity_DX At least, assuming they aren't using normal cameras/their eyes at the same time.
That someone
Very true! That'd be important to know as well!
Use a trash bag cover. Now it's foolproof!
+Clairity_DX well at least you can fool motion detectors the same way, they also detect the same frequencies.
You would want to insulate the handle so as little heat transfers from your hand to the surface of the glass or whatever IR covering you are using.
That is actually very cool. Thank you for sharing that. I love random bits of information that I have no clue how else I would have obtained.
Keep it up, Thunderfoot! Really like your stuff.

I¨m so glad you actually bother to talk to the reason the world really is broken. Dude I salute you!
Try a thermal blanket I think that will do the trick
I know this is an old comment but a Mylar blanket will block it for a little bit.
It's in the name, so, being no expert here, your probably right😉
You should have made a distinction between the near or reflective infrared that infrared film can capture and the far or thermal infrared that you were dealing with in your video.
For those that don't know, the IR that's next to the visible spectrum isn't thermal; it's reflected light, but it reveals things not as noticeable in visible light.

Is there also a way to filter out the feminist spectrum?
+rickyrico80 You'd have to figure out a way to cancel out the feminist frequency...
Congrats, you've won the Internet with that one.
