Nice thinking! I've heard a little about this. Definitely something to look into. Nice way to think outside of the box! Let us know if you find out anything more or hear anything more on this. I will as well!
Yes they do. Both NV and Thermal are great devices. I just personally like thermal. When using an IR light it actually creates a light bounce off effect of say a bush (as an example) which makes the front of it super bright therefore if someone was hiding in or behind the bush you may not see...
Ya thats what is being done currently. It works great at night when outside. The problem with Night Vision though is when you go into a cave or into a building or such that is void of any light (no star or moon light) then Night Vision doesn't work without the use of IR lights. And if you've...
Liking your thoughts on this. And yes I know how thermal works. Nightvision uses the amplification of light (starlight, moonlight, ect). You get into a cave and night vision doesn't work without an IR light assistance.
Thermal on the other hand creates an image basically as you said, by the...
Exactly. Thats why I said in my post that a laser beam doesn't produce heat. Thats why I asked for a think tank of everyone to see if there was a way we could possibly make it happen. Hey E=MC^2.
My guess is the only way to would be to create such a high powered beam that on contact it heated...
Hey guys, so our current military uses IR lasers with Night Vision (NV) for being able to point stuff out (per say). Thermal vision is far superior to Night Vision in almost all aspects. But one major drawback is thermal cannot pick up an IR laser as thermal doesn't use light but heat.
Anyone...
