Invention Sees Through Walls

Troy Hurtubise has done the seemingly impossible with his newest invention and defied all known rules of physics, he says.

The Angel Light—Hurtubise claims the concept came to him in a recurring dream—can reportedly see through walls, as if there was no barrier at all.

That’s not all, though. Hurtubise, 41, said the device detects stealth technology.

And he’s done the tests to prove it, with the covert help of scientists at the famed Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Hurtubise said.

If that’s not enough, Hurtubise also said the French government sent representatives to North Bay to witness a demonstration of the Angel Light.

Hurtubise said the reps were so impressed with the eight-foot long device they paid him $40,000 in cash to put the finishing touches on it.

The French, Hurtubise adds, have also agreed to pay him a “substantial” amount of money for the technology if it passes rigorous tests in France.

“They couldn’t believe what they saw,” Hurtubise told BayToday.ca.

“One of them told me it was as if I’d discovered a new universe.”

Gary Dryfoos, a consultant and former long-time instructor at MIT, said "there's a Nobel Prize" for Hurtubise if the Angel Light really performs as described.

"There are laws of physics waiting to be written for what he's talking about," Dryfoos said.

The French aren't the only ones interested in Hurtubise's innovations.

Fake! MIT spoof! Check reply #41 & #42

I was wondering about this. I'd think that something that could take out a radio controlled plane with the flick of a switch would be something that the SS would be interested in.

Nothing new under the sun

That's funny. That's what my mother told me when I told her I liked this song by Nino Temple/April Stevens - 'Deep Purple' back in the 60's.

She told me it had been a hit song back in the 30's or 40's. Ha!

;-)

Nothing new under the sun, indeed.

Lookout null! Incoming Microsoft lawyers!

[beyond the sea]

Nope. I wouldn't allow either the french NOR the saudis to get anywhere NEAR this thing!

I hear you! The French would give it to anyone who meant America harm.

'bumped' indeed. This guy is very interesting.

Post #42 is a riot. Are you saying the MIT guys hired this guy to pull this off.

I thought this guy, Troy Hurtubise, has been working on these types of things for decades. I don't see how the "gag" works, not that I don't believe you. I just don't like to discredit someone without knowing for sure.

I met his parents several years ago while on vacation.
His father is a skilled machinist. I also saw one of the versions of the Ursus suit sitting in the corner of a lawyer's office. It wasn't pretty, but it did work. I've seen video of some of his tests and he walked away from things that would have killed anyone who was not armored.

From a website about the Ursus,

http://www.nfb.ca/grizzly/suit.html

Testing On Suit:

Truck: 18 collisions with a three-tonne truck travelling at 50 kilometres an hour (30 m.p.h)

Rifle: Shot at with 12 gauge shotgun, using "Sabot" slugs

Arrows: Armour-piercing arrows, fired from 45 kilogram (100 lb.) bow

Tree Trunk: Two collisions with a 136 kilgram (300 lb.) tree from a height of 9 metres (30 ft.)

Bikers: Assault by three bikers -- the largest, 2.05 metres (6 ft. 9 in.) tall, weighing 175 kilograms (385 lbs.). Biker armaments: splitting ax, planks, baseball bat.

Escarpment: Jumped off escarpment, falling over 15.25 metres (over 150 ft.).

On the face of it, it seems wacky, but who knows?

Well, I have a theory for a functional lightsabre. It'd actually be a replacement for the Jaws of Life, but it'd likely end up as a weapon.

Wouldn't trust 'em with a chainsaw?

[rwfromkansas]

oh boy. I could make a joke about seeing into the girl's locker room or something juvenile like that, but I won't.

[rwfromkansas]

I don't think it is fake.

[RandallFlagg]

Yeah. Some of us beat ya to it, though.

[mwyounce]

The Ig Nobel prizes are real, so that by itself doesn't prove it's a hoax.... They are awarded in a somewhat serious, but somewhat sarcastic, way.... kinda like the "Darwin Awards"....

[rwfromkansas]

lol. :)

[RandallFlagg]

What the heck. I'll post my lightsabre theory again for all:


All known matter is surrounded by a kind of cloud of electrons. Electrons are electrically neutral. This is why my fingers are able to push down on these keys as I type: Like charges repel each other.

What if, through some collossal blunder of physics, the atoms of my fingers were surrounded by a cloud of positively charged electrons (Called Positrons)? My fingers would then pass through the keyboard, causing a shearing effect that would seperate the matter at the atomic level, and damaging the keyboard and my fingers.

If a controllable beam of positrons were to be emitted in a preset area and stream, it would pass through all known forms of matter. In fact, the only thing that would halt such a shearing effect would be another beam of positrons.

We are already able to make electrons pretty much do what we want (stunguns, Tesla Coils, etc.). How difficult would it be to do the same with positrons?

As a lifesaving tool, it would effortlessly cut through steel, concrete and anything else the user wished. As a weapon, it would bore holes through armor thicker than anything currently known. Anything made of atoms would be influenced by a positron beam.

That's the theory. Putting it in a package the size of a chrome flashlight, however.....

Now I'm off to play some Half Life. BBL!
