Troy Hurtubise, known for his eccentric inventions like bear-proof suits and anti-fire paste, claims to have developed a device that can see through walls, referred to as "Angel Light." While some participants in the discussion express curiosity about the device and its potential, skepticism prevails regarding its legitimacy. Critics highlight the lack of concrete evidence, such as a demonstration or clear operational details, and point out inconsistencies in Hurtubise's claims, suggesting it may be a hoax. Concerns are raised about the device's safety, with mentions of harmful side effects like killing fish and causing physical damage. Comparisons are made to existing technologies, such as thermal imaging, which can detect heat but not see through walls. Overall, the conversation underscores doubts about Hurtubise's credibility and the practicality of his inventions, with many participants calling for more substantial proof of his claims.

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.
