Electromagnetic Wave Particle Relocater
The Electromagnetic Wave Particle Relocater is essentially a shaped and applied group of Metamaterials, or purely synthetic materials that provide properties thought to be impossible to find in nature. In this specific application, the metamaterial used responds to electricity, and is currently under development for perfection and cheap production. Mainly however, the metamaterial is incredibly electrically costly, meaning that it's expense is mostly in the application to fuel it.
Basic Details
Metamaterials are a basis for attempting to build a practical cloaking device. Metamaterials have been known to deflect various forms of electromagnetic radiation, including radio waves, microwaves, infrared and very recently, light.
In 2009, at Duke University the latest advance—a series of algorithms were developed, to guide the design and fabrication of new metamaterials. David Smith of the Duke Engineering department, comparing the 2006 device, is quoted: "The difference between the original device and the latest model is like night and day. The new device can cloak a much wider spectrum of waves—nearly limitless—and will scale far more easily to infrared and visible light. The approach we used should help us expand and improve our abilities to cloak different types of waves." The article also noted that "once the algorithm was developed, the latest cloaking device was completed from conception to fabrication in nine days, compared to the four months required to create the original, and more rudimentary, device."
Light is refracted or reflected determining the view, color, or illusion that is seen. The visible extent of light is seen in a chromatic spectrum such as the rainbow. However, visible light is only part of a rich spectrum, which extends beyond the sense of sight. For example, there are other parts of the light spectrum which are in common use today. The microwave spectrum is employed by radar, cell phones, and wireless internet. The infrared spectrum is used for thermal imaging technologies which can detect a warm body amidst a cooler night time environment, and infrared illumination is combined with specialized digital cameras for night vision. Astronomers employ the terahertz band for submillimeter observations to answer deep cosmological questions.
Furthermore, electromagnetic energy is light energy, but only a small part of it is visible light. This energy travels in waves. Shorter wavelengths, such as visible light and infrared, carry more energy than longer waves, such as microwaves and radio waves. For the sciences, the light spectrum is known as the electromagnetic spectrum.
Prisms, mirrors, and lenses have a long history of altering the diffracted visible light that surrounds all. However, the control exhibited by these ordinary materials is limited. Moreover, the one material which is common among these three types of directors of light is conventional glass. Hence, these familiar technologies are constrained by the fundamental, physical laws of optics. With metamaterials in general and the cloaking technology in particular, it appears these barriers disintegrate with advancements in materials and technologies never before realized in the natural physical sciences. These unique materials became notable because electromagnetic radiation can be bent, reflected, or skewed in new ways. The radiated light could even be slowed or captured before transmission. In other words, new ways to focus and project light and other radiation in development. Furthermore, the expanded optical powers presented in the science of cloaking objects appear to be technologically beneficial across a wide spectrum of devices already in use. This means that every device with basic functions that rely on interaction with the radiated electromagnetic spectrum could technologically advance. With these beginning steps a whole new class optics has been established
In application
Essentially, as long as the correct amount of electricity is applied, the meta material is capable of redirecting practically all forms of known Electromagnetic Waves and radiation in such a form so that the object appears "invisible" to most outside forms of detection. Essentially, the suit cannot be seen by the human eye, gives off no heat or infrared signature, appears non-existent to radar and "Micro-Dar", and even allows sound waves to seemingly "pass through it". This makes most forms of detection incapable of even recognizing the presence of such a device, let alone it's location.
However, as the device is physical, it is matter and takes up space, meaning that should an individual "Bump" into the material they'll surely recognize it's existence, and should an individual place the object on something (or vice versa) an individual could notice an out of place scenario, possibly recognizing the existence of something "Invisible". These types of scenarios are examples of indirect observation, were secondary effects from the meta material can be observed, giving the illusion that something invisible, or an invisible force, is misplacing and disturbing a regularly normal environment.
Conversely, imprints or markings left behind by the material, such as scratches, indentations, or colloquially "footprints" can be detected, allowing secondary indirect observations mixed with intuitive knowledge enough to recognize the existence of the said meta material.
