To everyone curious, I purchased my lenticular lenses here from this website: www.lenstarlenticular.com/store The specific ones I used for this project were the 100 LPI 3D option. Thank you all so much for the support on this video!

That invisibility is still at 144p hope you’ll be able to go full 4k

Tate, Keep that passion alive! I'll be here for your first million subs!

Private: “Why is it blurry over there?” Sgt: “idk light it up see what happens”

I worked in a plastics plant for over 22 years. I would like to make a suggestion. Rather than plexiglass, or polycarbonates, use Lexan much more durable. Same material used to make power meter covers.

My friend was Born with this capability. I see it in progress whenever any woman is in his vicinity 🤷‍♂️

Wrap an airforce jet with that material and you have wonder woman's jet.

"Im sorry sir, i cant sell you a plastic shield unless you are law enforcement" "Okay, ill just take this assault rifle and bullet proof vest then"

Being a 53yo retired US Army female individually carrying 2 different MOS', being a selected participant in/with several other (critical) MOS' & having spent 11mo in Tikrit, Iraq w/ a Company's TOC (Tactical Operations Command), I (fortunately) had the finest of instructors w/ ea opportunity. Your instruction commentary reminded me of them. Although I have absolutely zero interest in recreating this shield, I also have absolutely zero doubt that I easily could, solely based on this, your verbal & visual instruction. Trust me, we know skill when we see it. Just wondered how long it took (if yet) that you were G.O.V. "approached". 😁 Out-Freaking-Standing!

"Yo, my textures aren't loading in"

13:55 never have I had so many memories resurface from a single sound

The lenticular lenses that are used in the screens of old big screen tvs are free on the side of the road and are fairly sturdy.

Oh blessed algorithm. I had no idea I needed to see this 😍

*thought it said building a invisible shield For Gordon ramsey*

Dude, at first I was like “dang that would be really cool for car windows” then I realized that it’s likely double sided and you wouldn’t be able to see people on the road...

I must say anybody that has the patience to do all of that has to have a lot of tenacity.

Damn dude, you spent the first half of the video making an actual plexiglass riot shield because of the purchasing limitations. Now That’s true dedication.

It might be a cool idea to try making the edge of the shield wavy, jagged, irregular, or otherwise not just a straight rectangle. The straight edge really stands out to the edge-detection in human sight. So breaking up that edge with something should make it harder to see.

On the airsoft field: "hey Ref... the guy uses invisibility cheat"

Left over moving blanket... Blanket: "property of u-haul "

9:40 I would assume that cats are very invested in the development of invisibility shields for hunting purposes.

“why does a chef need an invisibility shield” - my stupid brain

Me and the boys using invisibility shields in tortoise formation: GHOST DIVISION

This is freaking amazing! Now we just need a more malleable version of those lenses, and we can have invisibility cloaks!

Now that you have that all set up you can just make a bunch more and sell them online! I'll be first in line to buy one. 😀

Everybody gangster until someone walks inside the shield to another dimension

I didn't know this thing exists

This is awesome. Want one 😀

Thank you very mutch! It's incredible! I'm woundered of your invention! Peace!

How much for a small one so I can pee anywhere on the Interstate when traveling?

This is the 2020 I expected. Freakin' invisibility.

This shield should also work for masking infrared detection. As long as the shield remains at ambient temperature (otherwise the shield itself will be visible). You should be able to confirm with a cheap thermal imaging scope or monocular.

14:00 "recognize that sound?" Oh man i'm remembering everything from my school 😢

My friend built an invisibility shield, and now he can't find it.

Putting in the invisibility is why I stayed and watched this whole video.

KZfaq is a year late in showing me this, but I just wanted to point out that if you need a vacuum chamber for an object like this, a vacuum bag works just as well as a vacuum chamber. It can have the added benefit of pressing the pieces together firmer... Not just evacuating the air

“Oh wow, I wonder if I can build this at home.....” *skip*

Now this is cool!

Your little inspector comes by once in a while to make sure you're doing it right :)

I always wanted to know the principle behind that! Thanks for a great explanation.

Have no idea how I ended up on this video but I watched every second of it. This could have come in handy when I was a teenager.

Bro, I am a hunter and I need this technology YESTERDAY!!!!! Build one a little bit wider that can conceal a person sitting in a little chair as a ground blind, or make it so you can attach it to the bottom of a tree stand. Seriously you need to start selling these if you can to the hunting market as a hunting blind.

So cool!! Great job creating this! Cloaking tech is already here.👍

Loved your video. thanks for taking the time to make it. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Alright so this guy made an invisibility shield at home. Just imagine what the government has. 🤯

Instructions unclear: I cant find my shield

Imagine a house covered in this --perfect

This is really cool stuff. Makes me think of Harry Potter and that invisible cloak he used. Love to see this used in some practical application.🧠👍🏼👍🏼👀

Imagine a SWAT guy appearing from a corner out of nowhere while wearing night vision goggles.

This guy just made an entire invisibility shield... Top tier content at its finest :)👌

Be interesting to see what happens if external light strikes it. (I've been using lenticular sheets for years to build stereoscopic images, but never thought of this application. I have some large sheets in the garage... think I'll experiment!)

Excellent video amen... Thanks for sharing, James

I wish I had seen this last year before graduation. This could have be my required science project with script script and all. No more volcano for the 3rd year in a row.

I made one years ago. It worked so well I set it down and could never find it again. To you young man, well done and keep going with your ideas!

Low tech and really kicking butt! Nice job...

To improve the bond between the lens and shield you could try UV curing Optical Adhesive + vacuum bagged to press it all together then UV lamp to set the glue.

US MILITARY HAS ENTERED THE CHAT

military: how could we make better armor random: makes invisibility

Thank you for this. I can finally get my black belt in Ninjutsu in the art of disappearing. You see whether I hide in trees or shrubs, my sensei always says not good enough. Now I have the upper hand..hahah..also just subscribed

It would be more fun if you go to a busy street, park your car. Place the shield and walk around. When you pass between the car and the shield quickly go down and completely disappear in front of the people catching their reaction in camera. Incredible idea. You are amazing! You are that boy who dreamed about having a superpower.

I bet crouching behind it on a beach with the water behind you would work really well. The blur may not even be visible anymore. Brilliant work there guy !

Reminds me of the movie Predator and the distortion abilities he had.

Imagine applying all this effort, skill and knowledge towards something useful.

Its cold 32 and foggy today. I watched bc i loved all the sunshine. And the kitten. No more rock. Now i can follow Chris as well.

You can use the vacuum bagging technique they use when laying up fiberglass parts in molds, that will give you a consistent pressure all over and let you apply adhesive over the entire piece.

Hey, here's an idea for gluing the lenses across the entire surface instead of just the edges: talk to some local woodworkers who do veneer work, a local woodworking supply store, like woodcraft, may have references to help with your search. Basically you want to find someone with a "vacuum bag veneer press" this will allow u to use epoxy to adhere the entire surface of the lense to your shield. You could make a traditional press yourself too though. As a matter of fact u already made half the press with the form u used to shape the shield. Anyway using a vacuum press would be foolproof and with the help of a skilled woodworker you could definitely make a great invisibility shield!

Super talented. Awesome. Thank you.

DUDE, THAT IS FREEKING GENIUS!!! Why have I not thought of this myself? Keep it up, Kid!

Once again... "Everything Old is New Again". Fifty years ago, my doctor's office had windows between the exam room, and the nurses station, that worked like this "invisibility shield". I thought that glass was amazing, when I was a child waiting to get the dreaded, "polio shot." Since there were windows on the opposite wall, you could detect the changes in illumination when someone stood in front of the window, but you could not actually see them. True Stealth has refined that "privacy window" idea quite a bit. As for "riot shields" being restricted items; it is the perfect example of the Public Sector vs Private Sector paranoia, separating our paranoid government from the governed. There is only one boat folks, and we all are in it. Very nice, thanks for the video!

I tried making my own, but got stuck to the back of the lens. Went to the hospital and had to wait ages to be seen!

My advice, if you cut PMMA (Acrylic) is to use a battery powerd saw and run water from a hose to the blade to cool it. This is how to get blazingly clear cuts without any melting of the PMMA.

What you can use instead of a vacuum chamber is essentially just a large bag that you attach a hose and pump to to suck out all the air. This method allows you to vacuum seal an object of virtually any size.

"That bookmark from elementary school" I just relived it all

Me: I just wanna hide away from the world.. Recommendations: Say no more

Viewing KZfaq vids from "DIY cold smoke generator" search, and your amazing video turns up (along with ones on un-pickable locks). This is amazing! You did it without using any electronics! How ingenious! This deserves a subscribe!

Hey homie, @ 2:25 this is one of the easiest ways to cut a limb off or experience sudden bloody death. Never pull a piece of stock through a table saw from the opposite side, only push it through. If it binds while you're pulling it through, it will get launched away from you, but faster than you can react. If it gets launched, you most likely won't be able to let go of the lumber until you're already on the spinning blade. Instead: use a roller stand or several while the saw is on it's own stand if you don't have space/money for a proper saw table or a second set of hands helping. Also, use a push stick so that your hands dont have to come close to the blade. I work with table saws all the time and have seen what happens when people aren't religiously careful with them. I hope you've wisened up a bit, table saws and angle grinders are the most dangerous tools out of the common everyday tools.

See you again in 5-6 years again, folks when the algorithm makes it going viral

Homemade, imagine what the military can do with a huge budget

It works surprisingly well, them sly magicians, clever applications. You'd think the skins of military aircraft would be coated with light scattering lenticular reflector panels.

Regarding optical bonding. You don't need a vacuum chamber, you could use a vacuum bag and pump. The surfaces you're working with should be smooth enough to not pose any significant bubble-problems vacuumbagging. As for adhesive, weld-on #4 IIRC is optically clear, it's actually used to glue / "weld" acrylic joints for optically clear, invisible seams for aquarium tanks etc. It flows incredibly lightly.

This would be so useful in class when the teacher asks you to answer

So are we not gonna mention how good his drawings are, not only is he creative and highly intelligent but also artistic

Way smarter and simpler than using cameras to project the image of what's behind onto a shield/screen in front - Where do we go from here? Lenticular exoskeletons similar in appearance to a Marvel Invisible Woman action figure? Imagine technocrats deploying robocops outfitted with similar shielding. Regardless, you get the brilliancy award for idea and execution!

Random tip, you don’t need to sand plastic edges, I use a nice edge of a tin sheet to shave it, you can use the back of a Stanley knife blade. Hold roughly on a 45 degree angle back towards yourself and drag it back to you

I need my car done, so I can SUE everyone for running into me. "I didn't see him coming"!

I've seen something similar to this for shower doors. Lol

That’s amazing bro! No computer effects, no magic illusions or nothing, just plain physics👍 imagine trying this method on a cloak or bodysuit, then ya’d have an invincibility cloak or invisibility suit😎 granted it’s not entirely invisible but still pretty close👍 goes to show every gadget ya see on tv or movies isn’t impossible to make IRL😉

13:56 that sound is instant nostalgia

Here before Chris blows this channel up

Subbed! Thank you KZfaq recommendations for actually working for once. Gonna work my way through your old vids and I can't wait to see your future work.

3:55 "Slaves may not own polycarbonate!" "The bodies of slaves are not worth protecting!" "Only the bodies of those who serve Big Brother are worth protecting!"

That was a fascinating watch. Very cool.

Criminally underrated channel

The efficacy of the shield seems to depend greatly on your location relative to the focal point. Have you figured out what the optimum focal point is behind the shield?

OMG! I need one! I could use it to hide from my landlord.

Good idea. You should look at vacuum bags for carbon fibre moulds would function perfectly for bonding to the sheet. The bags come in sizes up to 3m square and have a air valve connected to them. Just apply the resin , seal the bag and turn on the pump. Also for uniform acrylic bending use a heater filament stretched out into a jig. How professional acrylic workers bend acrylic

"You're a wizard Harry!" - Shrek, from Hogwarts

Me at 3am - “how to build an invisible riot shield, cool.”

You'd be paintball legend with that shield in the woods 🤣

Great build but if you look closely, your Handel that you built, interrupts the refraction of the film and in a sense, shows what's behind it but just in the Handel area. Best bet is to build handles off to each side, so they don't block the view of the center of refraction. Blocking the center creates a view, the opposite of what your trying to achieve. Look at the video closely and you'll see what I mean. If you can make clear handles off to the sides, this will create perfection on the design. Thank you for making this video. Very educational.
