SUMMARY

Troy Hurtubise, known for his previous inventions like bear-proof suits and anti-fire paste, claims to have developed a device called "Angel Light" that can see through walls. Despite his history of eccentric inventions, skepticism surrounds this claim due to a lack of concrete evidence, such as demonstrations or detailed specifications. Critics point out the implausibility of the device's functionality, citing fundamental laws of physics and the absence of verifiable tests. The discussion highlights concerns about the device's safety and practicality, with many participants expressing doubt about its legitimacy.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electromagnetic radiation principles
  • Familiarity with thermal imaging technology
  • Knowledge of basic physics, particularly regarding light and materials
  • Awareness of Troy Hurtubise's previous inventions and their implications
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the principles of electromagnetic radiation and its interaction with different materials
  • Explore the capabilities and limitations of thermal imaging devices
  • Investigate the scientific validity of claims made by inventors like Troy Hurtubise
  • Learn about safety protocols and regulations surrounding experimental devices
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for inventors, engineers, physicists, and anyone interested in the intersection of technology and skepticism regarding unconventional inventions.

Oh my... I heard the inventor in an interview on Coast to Coast. He's a total nutjob. He claims to have "loads of friends" in the scientific community several of which are nobel lauriats as well as "loads of friends" in the military whom he has come over to his lab and sweep for bugs which crop up regularly. Ofcourse he also states that Navy Seals couldn't get into his place if they tried due to all the boobie traps. He says that he's been attacked by three bears (before the bear suit) and shot and stabbed several times. The best part was when he said that he gets lots of help from his scientist friends since they know that he knows nothing about science. He was absolutely hilarious.

Boobie traps? Is that like putting flypaper in your girlfriend's bra?

I'm not surprised. If you saw him wandering around in his bear-proof suit, wouldn't you just shoot him to prove the point that it is useless/for your own amusement?

A Hoax

I believe this is a hoax. Not only does it go against the laws of physics, but the article is poorly written. The structure is incorrect, (i.e. punctuation) and there are typographical errors throughout the article. I'm not perfect at writing, but any editor would see that there are spelling mistakes that should have been addressed.

Though some of his claims like killing fish and losing feeling in his fingers is highly possible with this device the overall claim points to a hoax due to the lack of proof. A radar with high enough power can roast a bird out of the sky, which is what I believed happened in the case of killing the fish and damage to his finger. He basically cooked them... That is if the device actually was in existence.
