DIY Night Vision

Then use it and find out that your pre-millenium camera doesnt detect much at all."

copying what i said previously then saying it doesnt work?
BS! it does work, ive done it with my web cam. and it shows it happening on this youtube video as well ( not my video btw )

yes, as i said in my first post, the whole idea is pointless
but it will work

I think they would, because how are you meant to line up a photograph in the dark if you can't at least see a bit in the first place?

Then use it and find out that your pre-millenium camera doesnt detect much at all.

Real night-vision equipment is VERY sensitive and can be ruined my merrly removing the lens cap in daylight.

But that still isn't a reason to dismiss all the instructional videos out of hand, as I have already pointed out.

In this video the guy uses what looks like normal bulb flashlight, this *will* emit IR radiation.

He uses several sheets of tinted cellophane to filter out all the noticeable visible light.
The cellophane will still allow the IR radiation to shine through.

The camera he is using has a night-time mode, that detects IR to get a clearer picture.

Shining the torch will increase the amount of light the camera can detect, just as shining an unfiltered torch would increase the amount of light your eye would detect.

I believe this is a new concept, which somebody has spent time refining (whethter it does or does not work) thus rendering it an invention.

Secondly, I wasn't commenting on grammar, I was refering to your articulation (or lack thereof).

Dust_monkey, I don't see the point insulting my opted account name, especially when yours has apparently no relevance to anything at all. If you really want to know, I looked at the first thing in my room (being one of my pairs of Converse Allstars) and chose that. If there's anyting else you want to know about me, please feel free to ask.

Now to address the point about the MetaCafe site; people are encouraged to make videos with a very high appeal, meaning they often consist of outrageous claims. The bigger the claim, the more views the video gets, the more money the owner receives.

i have sugested a much cheeper way to do this and you havent commeneted on that have you?

i hate these people who think there so superior that everyone else, its basicly racism / discimination. im acturly dyslexic so my spelling isnt as good as the average person.

this isnt an invention anyways

the way metacafe makes money has no bearing on the validity of this vids claims
neither does my (evidently very offensive lack of grammar)

you have managed to make a statement and back it up with two of the most fallacious arguments on my interwebs fofofofo

if you care to explain why this "invention" as you call it doesnt work then perhaps i might turn up the grammar slightly

You too, dust_monkey...this isn't a pre-school group.

This 'invention' doesn't work. 99% of these 'inventions' don't work. They rely on fools like you to watch the video multiple times so they earn more money.

that's if i decide to take the advice you gave me in your first comment, converse.

blue cellophane will only alow blue light in
red will only alow red thru, add them together no light can get thru apart from the light not in the visable spectru eg inferred

any way there is a better and cheeper way to do this imo, just buy a infered LED or use your tv remote :)

coloured cellophane is used to stop some frequencies of light getting thru, and his setup is designed to stop all visible light getting thru

presumably the red cellophane stops light of a shorter wavelength than red and the blue cellophane stops light of a longer wavelength of blue (which is why he uses less blue)
