An enemy convoy rolls to a stop, the commander of
the lead vehicle popping open the hatch on his IFV and scanning the desert with his binoculars-
the coast is clear, no sign of American forces anywhere. Sliding back inside his vehicle he gives
the command for the convoy to begin rolling again. Suddenly there’s the roar of an M1 Abrams
firing its main gun, and the rearmost vehicle goes up in flames. A second roar from a different
position, and the lead vehicle is destroyed. The enemy convoy is in full panic now, but with
both the lead and rear vehicle destroyed, the rest of the convoy is having a hard time
breaking from the tightly packed formation. Enemy troops scan the desert all around them,
where in the world is the firing coming from?! Then they see it- an M1 Abrams
materializing out of thin air, followed be a second, then a third and
a fourth. From an opposite direction, Bradley infantry fighting vehicles seem to
shimmer into existence from empty desert. The enemy is surrounded, but how in the world
did the American forces become invisible?! This scenario may seem like something out
of Star Trek or Harry Potter, but a Canadian company called Hyperstealth Biotechnology Inc.
has made it a reality. The new technology is called Quantum Stealth, and it can actually make
something as large as a tank completely invisible. How you may ask? Well let’s find out.
Remember this is real technology that could be used by the military in the next few
years, so forget about the fantasy and science fiction worlds of television and movies, real
life is about to get a lot more interesting. The exact way the material that makes
Quantum Stealth and invisibility possible is kept secret by the inventor
and CEO of Hyperstealth Biotechnology Inc, Guy Cramer. The company is based
out of British Columbia, Canada, and over 3000 military vehicles are currently
using camouflage designs created by this company. Quantum Stealth has been examined by two separate
command groups within the United States Military and the Canadian Military. All personnel
who have seen the actual Quantum Stealth material have verified that the
technology is real and works. But how does it work? That is the mystery.
We will break down the science and then examine how the technology could be used
in different military scenarios. Again, this is not science fiction. This is real
technology that makes things invisible using real science. What a time to be alive! From the little we know about Quantum Stealth
one thing is clear, the way the material makes things invisible is through the bending of light.
The material that is used is kept secret, but the principle is actually all around us in nature.
The Quantum Stealth material refracts light using a series of small lenses. Refracting is the
fancy scientific term for the bending of light. The Quantum Stealth material surrounds whatever
object the military wants to make invisible, then the material refracts light
around the object. But how does this make the object invisible? First
we need to discuss light waves. The way you, and I, and every other human sees is
by gathering and focusing light using our eyes. When light comes in contact with an object
it bounces off of it in all directions. If you are in the reflected light’s path
some of that light enters your eyes, your brain interprets the light waves, and that
is how you see everything around you. This is an oversimplification, but is the quick version of
how we see objects. The key to Quantum Stealth is that instead of allowing light to bounce off
an object, the Quantum Stealth material bends light around the object. Therefore, if you have
a tank surrounded by the Quantum Stealth material light is bent around the tank. If the light
never reaches the tank, there is no light bouncing off of it to be sent to your eyes. The
tank is invisible to you, and everyone else. As we said earlier this is not some science
fiction concept. Refraction of light happens all of the time. We can prove it. Take a glass
of water and stick a straw in it. Then look down into the glass of water. You will see that the
straw above the water is in one spot and the straw below the water has shifted to the side. Did
the actual straw bend? No. The light is being bent as it passes through the medium of air to the
medium of water. The light your eyes capture to see the straw has been bent as the light
moves from one medium to another. Cool right? Quantum Stealth works the same way. The
Quantum Stealth material is made up of lenses to create a medium that does not
reflect light back or let light through. Instead the material bends light around it, making
any object on the other side completely invisible. For those of you who are still with
us, and we hope that’s everyone, things are about to get a little crazier. If the
refraction of light can make things invisible, then why don’t you become invisible every
time you jump into a pool, or ocean, or any other medium besides air? Clearly this
doesn’t happen, and if it does happen to you send us an email so we can make a video about
how you have broken the laws of physics. Instead, when you enter a new medium light is bent.
The light still reflects off of you, just at a different angle. You are still visible, you just
look like you’re in a slightly different spot. The Quantum Stealth material is unique in the
way it bends light. It creates what is called a “dead spot” behind it. This is how the
Quantum Stealth material causes objects to become completely invisible. When light enters the
lenses it is refracted in two opposite directions. This creates the “dead spot” in the middle of
where the light waves have separated. Therefore, anything that is placed within the “dead spot”
is invisible since no light waves reach it. And since radar, night vision, and thermal sensors
all use a form of light wave to detect objects, Quantum Stealth also makes things it’s surrounding
invisible to those forms of detection as well. There is no power source, the Quantum
Stealth material is paper thin, and Guy Cramer has reported it
is inexpensive. Quantum Stealth will most likely be the military’s
choice of camouflage in the future. But what would they use it for? It is a really
cool concept, but is it practical? Let’s see. Imagine a pilot flying over enemy territory. They
are taking reconnaissance pictures and gathering intel. There is suddenly a malfunction in the jet.
Sparks start spraying out of the flight counsel. The only way the pilot can keep from catching fire
in the cockpit is to eject. The pilot pulls the handle on the side of their seat, the canopy
flies up, and they are ejected into the air. The enemy will see the plane
crash, but what about the pilot? Large parachutes are easy to spot against a blue
sky. But what if the parachute was invisible? The parachute could be made out of the Quantum
Stealth material allowing the pilot to safely glide down to the ground without being spotted.
Then the pilot can hide under the Quantum Stealth parachute making them completely invisible to
all forms of visual sensors, including eyesight. The pilot calls for extraction and safely
waits, undetected, until the cavalry arrives. Another thing to think about is the
tactical advantage Quantum Stealth could give special forces units. An entire
boat of Navy SEALs could be docked off shore. The boat is using Quantum Stealth so it
is invisible. Normally special forces teams work under the cover of night, but
now they can be invisible at any time of day. They plan their mission to take
place in the middle of the afternoon when their target is most vulnerable. The SEAL
team is outfitted in Quantum Stealth dive suits. They swim ashore undetected, complete their
mission, and return to their invisible boat. The best part is that by the time the enemy
realizes what happened, it will be too late. The SEAL team will already be safely back at
base. When the enemy goes to review camera logs and sensors nothing comes up. The Quantum
Stealth made sure the SEALs were invisible to all types of sensors. It even kept them
from casting shadows. They are invisible and undetectable. The enemy is baffled by the
unexplained infiltration of their outpost. Since the Quantum Stealth material
is versatile, and relatively cheap, the military may use it to camouflage larger
objects. Take a plane hangar for instance. The United States Airforce could build and
store prototype and cutting edge aircrafts without the enemy ever knowing. If the
whole hanger was surrounded by Quantum Stealth material the enemy would have no
clue it was even there. The hangar would be undetectable by aerial surveys and satellites.
The military could work in complete secrecy. We talked about camouflaging one tank in Quantum
Stealth, but what about a whole battalion? What if a group of tanks could infiltrate enemy
lines and get into striking positions without ever being noticed? The only indication that the tanks
were there would be from the sound of the engines and the firing of their cannons. But at that
point it would be too late for the enemy. Even early warning detection systems wouldn’t be
able to pick up the signatures of the battalion of tanks. Each one would be outfitted
with its own Quantum Stealth technology. They would be able to fire, reposition, and
fire again taking out any enemy in their path without being seen. The tanks would
be undetectable except by sound. This brings up another important point about
Quantum Stealth. The technology is not only effective at making military assets invisible,
but the psychological warfare that goes along with it could be just as devastating as bullets
and bombs. Imagine fighting an enemy you cannot see or detect. Military forces with Quantum
Stealth can move freely across battlefields and infiltrate bases without leaving anything
but footprints and tire tracks behind. The toll that would take on the opposing soldiers
would be insurmountable. How do you fight an army you can’t see? How do you defend against vehicles
and crafts that are undetectable? You can’t. You may be wondering if this technology
will be available to everyone. At this point only the U.S. and Canadian militaries
have access to the Quantum Stealth Camouflage. Would knowing the principles of how Quantum
Stealth material works allow someone to create their own invisibility cloak? At this point it
would seem no one else has unlocked the secrets of the Quantum Stealth material. The concept of
how it works is basic physics, but engineering the material has only been accomplished
by Guy Cramer and his company. In fact, Cramer has stated that he has already developed a
countermeasure for Quantum Stealth, so if someone were to figure out how it is done, he would be
able to detect it. Presumably this information would be shared with the military if enemy forces
got their hands on Quantum Stealth technology. Having access to Quantum Stealth technology
gives the military an immense advantage on the battlefield. But what other applications
does the Quantum Stealth material have? Cramer has already patented
other uses for his technology. Some of which could change the world
for everyone, not just the military. The same material used to create Quantum
Stealth Camouflage can also be used as a solar panel amplifier. Tests using current solar
panel technology paired with the Quantum Stealth material showed that the solar panels
could more than triple their output. Guy Cramer was able to increase the
output on three different solar panel designs by threefold each. That is really
impressive. The Quantum Stealth material could change the game when it comes
to harnessing the power of the sun. Quantum Stealth Camouflage is a reality.
It renders objects completely invisible and undetectable by sensors. As of right now
the military is the only ones that have access to this technology. It will change the way war
is fought. Using basic principles of physics, Hyperstealth Biotechnology Inc. has turned
invisibility cloaks into a reality. But the world as a whole may benefit even more from the other
applications of the Quantum Stealth material. Maybe someday we will stop burning fossil
fuels that are causing climate change, and get more energy from the sun
using Quantum Stealth technology. If you want to learn about stealth technology
