Invisable Drones

[Talyn]

New Drone Can ‘Disappear’ Via Motion Blur​

The Phantom Twist drone spins up to 25 times per second, which is too fast for the human eye to see clearly. While it isn’t completely invisible, it morphs into a ghostly smudge that seamlessly blends into the background.​

Key points​

1. Northwestern University engineers designed a drone that exploits motion blur to become nearly invisible.
2. The entire drone rotates rapidly to blend into the background as a ghostly smudge.
3. This low-visibility drone could monitor wildlife and inspect infrastructure with minimal visual disruption.

New Drone Can ‘Disappear’ Via Motion Blur

To design the drone, the Northwestern team, led by Michael Rubenstein, first used a computational model to generate roughly 20,000 drone configurations capable of stable flight. Then, they used AI and optimization algorithms to repeatedly rearrange the drones’ major components, including a motor.

Just what the world needs. Now big brother can invisibly monitor you (and the terrorists can arm them for invisible attack.)

Just imagine what the military has they're not telling us about.

i am looking for the drone shot shells that spit out a net... flock drones are coming soon and i want to beat the rush

It may be out there, but we both know ain't nobody sayin' a thing!

They already have had cloaking drones for years that display the sky above on the bottom of the drone in real time.

Wonderful...

These new phantom drones are more capable to be cloaked in a lower altitude though.

klingons or romulans are among us

klingons or romulans are among us

They might be a bit easier to deal with given the choice tween them and politicians...

If we just had invisible Flock cameras we wouldn't have so many people complaining about them.

If our city clowncil wouldn't print it out in the local news outlets bragging about the great thing that they did, nobody would care! Not in this little Chicago!
