- So I got a cheap thermal camera (Flirone)... the thing is twitchy and unreliable as hell.... but still very fun!
So you can do some really interesting things with thermal cameras..... you can see through polyethylene... but not perspex or glass.
I wont be adding this video to the patreon supported feed, cos its just for a little light fun, but will do some more involved videos with infrared later.
Many thanks to all those who support this channel through Patreon.

Commander! We have several black binliners coming towards us carrying RPGs!
+RyanRyzzo LOOOOOL
+RyanRyzzo No kidding. Just shoot at the dark spots
we can only pray the paper doesn't come in with ak-47s...
+Koko Noloco Good thing they already brought their own body bags and pre-packaged themselves. :D How nice for the environment!
+MDxm3000 It's worth noting it would be better for the environment if you just let them rot there.
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
so in order to shut out big brother, i need a plexiglas hat laced with tinfoil, ok thanks :D:D:D

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!

+Thunderf00t
how many things have we discovered thanks to freaking good obseving tools?
easy answer
+Thunderf00t Would the the mud bath thing from the movie Predator work to hide from infrared?
much magic
such science
wow
I think you should do more videos like these.
+republiccommando1138 Gar serim Ner vod
yes, how to suck an egg yolk with a plastic bottle 🍻
+republiccommando1138 you left sev behind :(
+republiccommando1138
I agree, it is a much needed moment to relax and enjoy something cool between all the insanity
+DannixX1000 Still miss him...
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.
+Incredible Igtheist
XD
+Incredible Igtheist The frequency is 69
You just need a big sheet of the truth, that will block it out.
ISIS watched this and will cover themselves in newspapers and black bin liners...
They already dress black.. just need to switch over to garbage polythene bags .. lol
+Nishit Raj PMSL can you imagine how much they'd sink after a day in the desert wrapped in a polythene bag?
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 😂😂😂😂
+Nishit Raj 50/50 split as it was our idea LOL
+ArcturanMegadonkey
Don't forget the fish bowl helmets.
PAPER TANKS ARE THE FUTURE
If you're being chased by a police helicopter, hide in a bus stop!
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!
+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.
This explains why Snake keeps using a box to hide in.

Thunderf00t turned into *Heisenf00t, or ThunderBerg* :P
You seem a little hot headed in this video..
+Yammercat :) Right! ^^
+Yammercat ... and no visible eyes.....
😂😂
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😉
"Thunderf00t teaches us how to hide from Predator"
I'll have to share this with my platoon. I'm sure there is at least some training value in this video.
So Solid Snake's box IS the ultimate way to hide then.
Now how is ultimite
Researching for a heist novel and this was so useful - thank you!
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
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.
0 disliked. finally, no one was offended? o__O
+boriss vassiljev Give it time. It will offend someone.
+boriss vassiljev Oh.. they'll come. Just give it time.
+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?
+boriss vassiljev I am electromagnetic radiationkin, and I am offendated.
+Special Snowflake 8 now.
So when I say "you're hot" you know I'm not being gay...Now we can demonstrate it.
Is that "cool ey?" thing at the end of these kinds of videos a running joke kind of thing or do you just say that?
+Double - N
If you just say that, make it one.
Erm. He just says that... How does it seem like a joke?
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.
+Double - N Sounds like he's turning Canadian! LOL
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
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.)
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 know this is a very old comment (by UA-cam standards) but if you're still interested I can answer it for you.
@@perdedor3571 Oh yeah, I'm interested.
Why don't you answered right way? 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
So, I could hide from an infrared cameras by making myself Paper Man
People can grow weed in peace xD
You don't learn this shit in school.
I'm interested.
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?
Yeah, mud would only work for a short while as it will heat up in contact with the skin.
***** Ha. I must have missed it.
+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.
+Nadav Igra besides the water in the mud is probably a good thermal conductor?
Very interesting
For you.
+Colonel Vern lol Vern....damn what a shitty name. Know what I mean Vern?
Too bad he never says anything. Wonder what he looks like?
for you.
There we have it people, coat your grow room with paper.
that is very interesting but there is an easier albeit less comfortable way to hide from infrared cameras and that is to increase the heat of the area around you or lower your body temperature and that would render the infrared relatively useless
So, if I wanna get away and hide from a helicopter's infrared camera I just gotta jump into a cardboard box!? That's great!
You giving intel to our enemies over seas? ;)
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.
Thanks a lot for your informative video. I looked for especially this info.
Now what is the wavelenth of these IR waves???
wouldn't work because it depends on the contrast between the background... these objects work because the camera sensitivity is low and your background is cool... put yourself in a desert or around rocks and the result will be very different!
+Thundef00t - I still refuse to call you hot, sorry, but I just can't bring myself to take that step. :D
Thunderf00t helping Border illegal inmigrants. Or drug dealers.
So all you need to do is stick a piece of Perspex over an I.R. camera, and hey presto, you're invisible!
How does one hide when they wear the One Ring and the Great Eye is searching for them? Answer that, science man!
Where does the relationship between infrared and thermal energy come from? Is there a single range of temperatures at which all substances give off infrared radiation, or does that range vary from substance to substance? When something becomes Red Hot is that the point where the thermal energy translates to radiation in the visible spectrum making the object in question less easy to see on an infrared camera?
this should be titled how to cheat predator
Its all opposite
Heh heh.... are we now going to see car theft criminals taking a big sheet of perspex in a bin bag to avoid detection from police helicopters with IR cameras!!!
Weird, I thought the answer was going to be "Wrap yourself in a femininst".
"how do you become invisible to infrared cameras?" "hide behind shit"
or just don't wash yourself for a year! There are no Smell cameras invented yet, so you will be invisible!
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.
Thunderf00t is trying different methods to hide himself from Feminist military drones.
It was God Doc....creationism explains it......PFFFFFFFFFF lololololol I'm joking lol
Basically something that is good at maintaining the ambient temperature...
So... Twitter. Yeah who cares about twitter... still, read the latest Policy Post:
Twitter Trust & Safety Council - Inaugural Members:
[...]
Feminist Frequency
... What a surprise
So if you know the law is after you using helicopters at night perspex is the key.
Bin liner + perspex sheet = TOTAL INVISIBILITY CLOAK
Woah a video not about feminists or creationists??? IT'S ACTUALLY CONTENT?!? UNHEARD OF!!! Good video btw. These types of videos are the only reason I'm still subscribed.
come tu europe tf :) :) to croatia :) :) lets paaaartyy :) :).... great videos man!! love your channel! :):)
Mylar works perfectly if you stack it
Mylar facing in
Mylar facing out
Wool blanket
What if you covered yourself in mud, like Schwarzenegger in Predator?
Thunderf00t, this is scientific quakery! The Predator can hide from just about everything. His way is far superior. LOL.
If I am ever hunted by The Predator I will remember this advice
What if I manufacture a Jumpsuit assembled from Roof Insulation? Will this give me the Ninja like stealthiness I'm looking for? Please HELP...
Thanks Thunderf00t! You the Man!
So now Thunderf00t is doing GCSE level science videos. What happened to perusing Chernobyl and blowing up chemicals?
NEXT WEEK ON THUNDERF00T'S TIPS FOR TERRORISTS: Put your new found thermal invisibility to use by strapping a sheet of glass covered perspex to your rocket launcher when shooting down the drone you're hiding from.
Black bin liner on a perspex sheet! Go! Go! Go!! call it 'super stealth technology 2016(C)' Patent pending.
so what your saying is, if i'm a terrorist, the best place to hide from thermal vision is in a giant glass bottle ? =D
I was taught that EM waves generally get better at penetrating matter at shorter wavelengths. So would someone please explain to me why infrared can penetrate the polythene bin-liner, but visible light can't?
+CloudCuckooCountry In the case of the bin liner, infrared light does not have enough energy to promote the electrons to the higher energy levels, whereas visible light does. This causes infrared light to pass through the material and visible light to be absorbed.
BlackSkullRacer613 Thanks.
The answer was actually bin liners in Yahtzee's book Jam. That was such a good book I wish I could read it for the first time again. Very funny.
I know this! I know this! Make your temperature match that of your surroundings! With like part of that environment, maybe. Like mud.
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 camera really flatters you.... it makes your hair look 'cool' XD
I guess another way to become infrared invisible is to get hypothermia. I don't recommend.. just saying.
Merhaba mezar görmek icin bir fikriniz varmi hazine avcisiyim
>inb4 terrorists uses glass and plastic bin bags to hide from apaches.
Thanks Thunderfoot for this video. Looking forward to nice FLIR experiments.
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)
How about an emergency blanket... Always wanted to try it with my former lab's microbolometer cam..
I already know how to be invisible to infrared cameras god damnit. Learn how to go infrablue. Then you're set.
I wonder what Thunderf00ts views on the "5D glass data storage system" that was developed by Southampton University in the U.K.
Hello thunder f00t
In Metal Gear Solid V The Phantom Pain There's an Item Called Nactochanina
It Let's You Can See Behind Objects I Was Saying It May Be Fake Or A Lie But After Your Experiment I Believed It And It's In Realty The Infrared Cameras
Thank You ThunderF00t And Have A Nice Day.
Okay, let me start....
Major! There were twelve guerillas, they took the two men from the chopper.
Anything else?
Six men, wearing US issued army boots, they came in from the north and they followed the guerillas.
This is probably a hopeless place to ask this but,
I'm trying to find an infrared laser that I can pick up with a thermal camera, or vice versa, a thermal camera that can pick up an infrared laser?
Does anybody know of a - or if it's even possible to find a commercially available laser pointer..
(& one that won't burn skin & eyeballs)
..that can be picked up by a netD 12μm 35mk thermal detector? Or the average range viewed by a thermal sensor?
(paintball set up, Im specifically looking for thermal not regular NV)
Very fastenating , There is a very famous paranormal photo of a little boy on the stairs of the Amityville House , The photo was taken using infrared lighting during the late 70s ..... In the photo where the boys eyes should be are only 2 bright shining lights , I was wondering what would cause that ?
💥💥👂🏻
..👃🏻
Cool vid, the company I work for make high-end, hi def thermal cameras which are used extensively on BBC wildlife programs like Winterwatch, Gorilla Family & Me etc. These cameras are around £70,000 to £100,000! We do have leasing arrangements though... PM me if you would like to use one...
I wonder how these golden looking fire blankets would perform. It would probably become super hot underneath..
Your spectacle lenses are, if you chose 'standard plastic' when you bought them, not perspex, but CR39. Perspex hasn't been used for specs in decades, CR39 is better in every way. It is a polycarb, polyallyldiglycolcarbonate, but not the material you get if you 'upgrade' to polycarb. If you chose hi index lenses, well, those plastics are mostly proprietary.
Boring, I know, but I work in optics, and I thought you might be interested :-).
So Thunderf00t has to reenact the iconic predator movie! Does mud really block your body heat?!?
You should have bought the Seek Thermal product. Half the price and double the resolution. Plus no stupid hybrid mode (and android/iPhone compatible)
Imagine hiding from the military - soldiers going through your building, and so you hide behind black plastic bags, thinking you're totally invisible to them...but they have thermal cameras and so in reality they can see you perfectly...you're screwed, it's not even fair!
What a nightmare...Honestly gives me anxiety thinking about it lol.
No cover of space blankets? meh... Those 'terries' have been using different methods.. you can also sew it into fabric for different layer compositions..
Finally I can stop covering myself in mud when hunting those bastards.
Interesting I wonder if the infrared would still work if you spray painted perspex or the glass would it make it more or less effectively?
I would guess that emergency blankets would work well at hiding from thermals.
Good, Good, +Thunderf00t hasn't uncovered my method of going invisible to IR cameras. I release greenhouse gases and they absorb the IR. So that right, I am responsible for greenhouse emissions! Just so that I am invisible to IR cameras.... muh hahahahahah!
Interesting. Not quite combat applicable, I doubt troops would want to lay on the ground with a huge sheet of glass on their back to block thermal imagery. But perhaps the material might be woven into some sort of... Sneaking... Suit... Anyway, very interesting. I suppose it would be good for encampments... But that'd be a whole different foray.
Just put mud on yourself.... DUH! Didn't you learn anything from Arnie??? :p
You neglected to teach us how to 'become invisible to Infrared Cameras'.
You've clearly a firm grasp of the obvious, but you didn't live up to the show title.
Maybe next time you'll teach us things we didn't already know. That would be nice.
To all those on here commenting about using the ‘bin liners’, he demonstrated that they were NOT effective at blocking the infrared camera, just to clarify. Paper good, bin liners bad...what a ridiculous statement lol. I am thinking that a paper ☂️ might do the trick though.
Bin liner?! LOL! You mean a garbage bag? You could "line" a "bin" with anything, but a garbage bag is a garbage bag. Brits have the most odd names for things. "Kitchen roll" instead of paper towels - as though the kitchen is the only place for paper towels, and you can buy them stacked and not in a roll like napkins. What then, if you bought those and stored them in the garage? Garage Flats? Again, odd.
Which IR camera is that - the definition and res look a little spotty compared to the rifle scope I have - mind you it was 8000$ USD, and was one of the cheap ones when I bought it.
Do like the Imperial Guard and give the soldiers cardboard for protection.
Can you please make a video explaining why things like glass are opaque from an Infra-Red camera's perspective?
Through the plastic Thunderf00t looks like a black guy. :)
Does anyone know whether an umbrella would block heat against infrared Cameras?
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.
Its nice to take a break from the Random of Feminist, SJW and Creationist... and learn something that actually require logic and senses. :)
