No, I'm not racist.
I was wondering how they say they that living things emit IR bits of the spectrum, and how to determine which wavelengths and how much of it.
If you could stand a person in the focal point of a large aluminum parabolic reflector, should you be able to direct all the emitted "heat" towards another reflector? Could you measure a person's energy emission rate (power) by placing an LPM thermopile sensor at the focal point where it would be heated by the persons' radiant body heat?
How much power do you suppose people emit?
