Troy Hurtubise claims that he's invented a machine, dubbed the Angel Light, that can see through walls. It doesn't really matter what the wall is made of: wood, ceramic, steel, tin, titanium, even lead. The Angel Light can see right through it, just as if a window had opened up in the wall. Of course, he built this thing in his garage (where else?). The idea for the invention came to him in a dream, and he built it without the aid of any blueprints, drawings or schematics. Although Troy may hope to one day be known throughout the world as the inventor of the Angel Light, he's already well known as the inventor of the URSUS MARK VII, a suit that can help a man withstand the attack of a Grizzly Bear (see that suit in the right corner of the thumbnail? That's the Grizzly suit). So from Grizzly Bear suits to Machines That Can See Through Walls. No one can accuse him of not having an interesting resume.
Comments
Petty disputes aside, I apologize to any who I offended.
What do you all say we make a collective effort to find out how to reach this Troy guy, and ask him to record on video his Angel Light working? Does this sound reasonable to everyone? If we all put our signatures on a petition then 50 people asking for a demo may be reasonable.
And just to show that I can be skeptical, we could consider that he may be schizophrenic. He thought the wall was invisible, the mind could be playing tricks. It happens all the time to people.
"It doesn't work if there's a skeptic in the room."
Thanks for the laugh. Haven't heard that one before. Pure genius. I have never laughed out loud while reading, rarely when I watch a comedy, but this time I actually did LOL! Nice one. Thanks for that
Theres no difference in believing that this thing works (without proof) than believing in UFO's. Its a thing you choose to believe because you WANT to.
Then again, why (when Mr. Hurtubise "nearly broke his knuckles on 3 to 4 occasions" while nearing the wall that was rendered invisible), had he not been rendered transparent himself, or cast a "shadow" of "visible wall" in front of his body or at least near his hand?
"To Cranky media guy,

Well, I'm certainly glad to have provided you with a laugh, but I really can't take credit for that line. Believe it or not, it has been used many times in the past (and will be again, I'm sure) by "psychics" being tested under scientific conditions. It makes me laugh, too, but with derision.
If you'd like examples of people actually using that silly excuse, check out randi.org. Use the search engine; I'm sure you'll find enough variations on that old ruse to amuse you for hours.
"Theres nothing to talk about really, either he demonstrates it properly or theres no proof that it works, in which case i dont believe it.
"Theres no difference in believing that this thing works (without proof) than believing in UFO's. Its a thing you choose to believe because you WANT to."
Extremely well said (and using far fewer words than I would have employed to say the same thing. OK, I'm verbose.) Good job!
I believe it might be possible to excite matter to a resonant frequency, similar to the way a guitar string vibrates, this resonant frequency could result in allowing light to scatter in a non-uniform manner that might create the optical illusion of translucency.
http://electron9.phys.utk.edu/optics507/modules/m10/laser_cooling.htm
As for the fish that died when the device was aimed at them. I think Mr. Hurtubise may have simply microwaved them to death, water is an efficient sink for microwave radiation.
http://web.mit.edu/mwpstr/www/foto/node6.html
The electronic interference is most likely from intense microwave radiation as well.
http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/eng99/eng99331.htm
Finally as for the RAM ( stealth material ) the microwaves emitted by the angel light may have attenuated the material so that it no longer absorbed the engery wavelengths of the radar gun, thus allowing the radar waves to bounce back to the radar gun.
(sorry no link for this one )
I would be very intersted to see this device work. If this device could be tweaked to reliably resonate matter to the point where molecular bonds break down. It would be the greatest boon to mankind since fire. Hydrogen could be easily produced from water, bringing about the so called hydrogen economy. It would also make a formidable weapon, just imagine if the device were tuned to shatter the molecular bonds in any type of matter.
"I believe it might be possible to excite matter to a resonant frequency, similar to the way a guitar string vibrates, this resonant frequency could result in allowing light to scatter in a non-uniform manner that might create the optical illusion of translucency."
No offense, Pro, my man, but it doesn't really matter what you think *might* be possible. I mean it's fun to speculate and all, but either the thing works or it doesn't. It's really just that simple. I'm voting for "doesn't."
"I believe it might be possible to excite matter to a resonant frequency, similar to the way a guitar string vibrates, this resonant frequency could result in allowing light to scatter in a non-uniform manner that might create the optical illusion of translucency."
Yes it is possible to excite matter to a resonant frequency, but it doesn't make it transperent or translucent. The link you provided doesn't support that theory in the slightest, either.
"As for the fish that died when the device was aimed at them. I think Mr. Hurtubise may have simply microwaved them to death, water is an efficient sink for microwave radiation."
Well, I may give you that one. If the thing DID produce microwaves at the right frequency it would cook the fish by heating the water. I don't need a link to MIT to figure that out.
"Finally as for the RAM ( stealth material ) the microwaves emitted by the angel light may have attenuated the material so that it no longer absorbed the engery wavelengths of the radar gun, thus allowing the radar waves to bounce back to the radar gun."
What the hell does "attenuate the material" mean? It shrunk? Maybe you mean it 'saturated' the material, in which case it would have become hotter and maybe melted or combusted. No mention of that in the article.
I'm with Cranky, There is no need to rationalize how this thing "might" work when it clearly doesn't. A working device is a demonstratable device, by definition. A device that can't be demonstrated is one that doesn't work, and that's what we have here
I'm impressed that you know your greek mythology.
Not really.
As for schooling you in the English vernacular. I am using the term attentuation in the context that the materials absorptive properties were weakend or attenuated.
But seriously, Cranky Media Guy your point is well taken. I agree the probability of Mr. Hurtubise stumbling across a device like this is astronomical, though not impossible just highly improbable.
Finally, it is possible to induce transparency in certain mediums (ie. rubies can be rendered tranparent using microwaves). The document that I linked to prevously on laser cooling is the same phenomena that would allow for transparency. However since you are obviously not a physics expert I am wasting my time talking with you, this conversation is finished.
Anyone, else interested in the phenomena of electromagnetically induced tranparency would find the following aticle interesting. It is an overview of current research taking place in EIT. (warning it contains highly technical language and is not an easy read).
http://www.lsr.ph.ic.ac.uk/EIT/publications/papers/JMOrev/JMOrev.pdf
"However since you are obviously not a physics expert I am wasting my time talking with you, this conversation is finished."
You are? I think I smell fertelizer.
The "optical transparency" refered to in the report has to do with the laser mediums ability to lase, not a person's ability to see through it. I can see through a tube of sodium gas, but it's not able to emit laser light untill the number of atoms in the excited state is greater than those in the ground state. When they are equal, the medium is said to be "optically transparent". I don't think that is anything remotely similar to making a sheet of dry-wall as clear as glass as Mr. "Angel Light" seems to say.
You're right in that I'm no physics expert, but I know how to spot crap when I hear it
http://www.intalek.com/AV/Troy-Hurtubise.wma
Based on this interview I'm willing to say he seems like a straight up, no BS guy - if he has an agenda, it's not apparent. I'm saying straight out I believe him - decide for yourself.
Also, as I talked about in an earlier post, he discusses how someone like him is more apt to discover something like this simply because he did something in the development process a "true" scientist/engineer would never attempt, already assuming it's impossible.
If nothing else I hope it opens people's minds to the fact that an education actually applies a limiting factor to knowledge and discovery - BUT, the downside of that is you remove a vital safety factor. Suffice it to say there were also guys like Troy who are now in that great "labratory in the sky."
For those who already have their mind made up that this is a hoax and don't want to listen to the interview - the premise of the invention is that it "fuses light" as in the different spectrums. Different apertures can be applied to widen or concentrate the beam as well as applied power variance to control depth.
Yes, there's a place for skepticism, and yes, Mr Hurtubise is most likely a hoaxer, but these rabid rants -- except for the occasional measured comment by such people as Neutral -- tell the rest of the world far more about yourselves than they do about Mr Hurtubise's science.
Time and again you attack character and not logic. I'm sure this post will attract the same response, but really guys, if you sit down, just for a moment, and look at yourselves good and hard, what do you see?
http://www.intalek.com/AV/Troy-Hurtubise.wma<<;
He offers no "explanation" whatsoever. All he provides is the same thing he provides in all his marketing: un-verified (many un-verifiable) claims, and unintelligible ramblings about the "explanations" his interminable list of undisclosed "scientists" have supposedly given him concerning the workings of is "inventions." This interview is completely void of verifiable facts.
It's perfectly possible to *sound* sincere while being completely delusional.
But thanks for the link anyway, it's quite enjoyable! :lol: BTW, here are some other "great" links from the same site:

Um, why do you accept the word of a man who apparently lacks the ability to simply DEMONSTRATE his "invention?" Of course he says it works. Would you expect anything else from him?
The simple fact is that NO ONE has EVER demonstrated the ability to "fuse light." Period. All he has to do to convert skeptics like myself is DEMONSTRATE that the thing works. Words don't cut it. Sorry.
"Cranky Media Guy! Where the hell have you been? We're being over run by the credulous here, and you take a holiday."
Sor-ry! I was in Vegas with Alan Abel and a few other like-minded individuals for the first ever meeting of the International Association of Professional Pranksters (yes, really). Also, I wasn't entirely sure that my meager efforts at injecting sanity into the easily-convinced were appreciated. What did I miss?
If the device (hypothetically Im saying here, I don't know if this is a credible experiment, but it raises interesting questions) could entangle photons across wavelengths so that they traded properties and exchanged information at a distance, could the penetrating wavelengths relay information to the visible spectrum photons which reflect back to the viewer?
What would I say to convince you that his invention works? Nothing.. I don't know if it does. I have not seen it yet. But what can I say about Troy?
Fire-Paste works just as he claims.
LIMBC (armor cushions) stand up to 4 sticks of dynamite/rifle fire/shotgun blasts
His Ursus Mk VII Is possibly the greatest contribution science has had to physical comedy ever.and it looks cool.
His planned G-Man suit could save countless lives of battlefield soldiers if properly developed.
He is a freakin' weirdo.
All I am saying is that this man has made outlandish claims in the past and has been proven right.
Now he has made the most outlandish claim of his career.
I can't believe this thing works exactly the way he says it does. But I will wait untill the demonstration on the 17th of this month to give him the oppourtunity to prove his claims.
Do you know the entanglement mechanism? Can you enlighten us?
Formulate a hypothesis, and the try to disprove it through experimentaion?
The two photons have to start out as one, and then decay into two lower energy photons through interaction with an atom.
Mr Angel light isn't doing anything of the sort. He's made a big prop and is making claims about it that he can't back up. You're formulating a hypothesis to explain the principles behind a non-working item. You may as well try to figure out how a perpetual motion machine works. In two words, it doesn't.
"Isn't this how science works?
"Formulate a hypothesis, and the try to disprove it through experimentaion?"
OK, so what's Hurtubise's hypothesis? Near as I can tell, he doesn't have one. Doesn't he claim that he doesn't know how the device works and that it came to him through recurring dreams? Uh, exactly how does one test THAT?
Besides, all this theorizing about how the thing *might* work amounts to nothing but mental masturbation unless and until he actually DEMONSTRATES that the thing is something other than a big fake prop.
"But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown."
Amen, Brother Sagan.
Thankyou. That clears that up
"just reading part of that article, could ,theoretically again, one of the entangled photons, by repetition of the process be further split and decayed into a lower state? what would then happen to the othe entangled photon?"
Hey, *I* have a theory, too. My theory is that, somewhere up in Canada, there is a guy desperate for attention. I further theorize that this guy takes a bunch of old "scientific" crap and combines it into a fake "machine" that he then says can see through walls.
Next, a bunch of extremely credulous people completely accept what he says, even though he provides precisely NO evidence that the thing works. These same people come up with elaborate fantasies about how this "machine" works, again even though it hasn't been shown to work at all.
Nah, that can't be it! Something as wacky as that just CAN'T be true, can it? Clearly the thing actually works and Mr. Hurtubise has NO obligation to actually demonstrate it to the world. His word is good enough. If I want to believe that a machine can see through walls, then it can. Period. No evidence supplied, none required. And somewhere many angels dance on the head of a pin.
THE DEMONSTRATION IS SUPPOSED TO TAKE PLACE ON FEBRUARY 17 2005.
from my post above....
" Now he has made the most outlandish claim of his career."
"I can't believe this thing works exactly the way he says it does. But I will wait untill the demonstration on the 17th of this month to give him the oppourtunity to prove his claims."
"THE DEMONSTRATION IS SUPPOSED TO TAKE PLACE ON FEBRUARY 17 2005.:
The key word in that sentence is "supposed." Would you care to bet me that one of two things will happen:
1. The "demonstration" never occurs.
2. The "demonstration" happens, but the machine doesn't work and Hurtubise makes some ridiculous claim as to why--something like "vibrations" were wrong, etc.
Putting that aside for the moment, my point was and still is that many people here (and presumably other places, too) have defended this absurd claim of being able to see through solid objects despite there being NO evidence shown so far. The rational position is that the claims for the machine are extraordinary so therefore belief in its supposed "abilities" will be withheld unless and until it is demonstrated to do what it is allegedly capable of doing.
I've said it before but I'll repeat it. IF this thing worked, that would be wonderful; it would greatly advance science. I would be as happy as anyone to see that happen. Occam's Razor suggests, however, that the likelihood of that happening is approximately zero. In other words, I ain't buying.
2. The "demonstration" happens, but the machine doesn't work and Hurtubise makes some ridiculous claim as to why--something like "vibrations" were wrong, etc.
You forgot number three;
3. Feb 17 passes and when people ask him how the demonstration went a few days later (there will be no real journalists present) he says "It went great! There were some observers from the US and French military and they told me it was really promising and that we would have to rewrite the physics books because this invention is so amazing"
Of course, we'll have to take his word for it, and maybe Phil Novak's, too.
But then I'll have to move to France, because they'll posess the most powerful weapon ever wrought by man and you just KNOW they'll use it.
They'll turn the US and Canada into "Robo-France 9000."
There Berets will be mandatory, and unshaven women with cheese-smelling breath will be the norm. All TV's will play Jerry Lewis comedies 24/7 only stopping briefly to inform the conquered populace of the new Ursus MK XI's victories over the former ex-Soviet republics.
... ok, scratch that first comment. If it works I'll poop myself with terror.
>>Fire-Paste works just as he claims.<<
I was wondering when someone would assert this about the Fire Paste. Took you long enough Jeff! 😊
'Way back when, on the BayToday site and on iidb.org, I posted the following (and I wish I had said it here as well):
"In short, I haven't seen *any* convincing evidence that *any* of Hurtubise's 'inventions' have *any* applicability in the real world..."
...but I was sure someone would call me on the Fire Paste. Nobody did.
Of all of Troy's stuff, the Fire Paste is the only invention that *may* be somewhat legit IMO. His demonstrations of it resisting heat are somewhat compelling IMO but with some reservations, especially in light of his history with the quality of his "demonstrations."
Also, the "documentary" on his Fire Paste includes some seemingly bona-fide scientists discussing its properties and verifying that it does indeed have fire-resistant qualities.
Here are some of my reservations about the Fire Paste:
1. Is it really anything new? We have no actual information about its materials and the manufacturing process. It could be pretty run-of-the-mill stuff.
2. As far as I'm able to determine, *all* of Troy's "demonstrations" are staged, contrived etc. In the Discovery Channel "documentary" we see him throwing a blow torch flame at paste on his skin, on a fake "doll house" etc. But we know nothing about the actual facts of these demonstrations. How hot was the flame? Was the demonstration monitored by a credible neutral third party? What was the actual composition of the "doll houses?" I may not be this skeptical if I saw the same demonstration from a credible source, but I've seen so many false claims from this guy that I don't trust him or any "demonstration" that he has obviously orchestrated. If he's controlling the demonstration I feel forced to take the results with a heavy dose of salt.
3. We have the same problem with the Fire Paste "demonstrations" that we do with the LIMBC "demonstrations:" they appear to work under extremely contrived circumstances but the "demonstrations" do *nothing* to show that these invenstions actually work in real-world applications/situations. Troy says in the radio interview that "some guy in Canada" owns the Fire Paste formula. So, who's using it? And for what? And...if there were any scientific or industry publications about the Fire Paste I think we'd have heard about them by now. If it were that great ("20 years ahead of NASA") then surely information about it would be available from *some* credible source.
Once again, Troy is making extraordinary claims and is not providing any extraordinary proof. I am unconvinced that the Fire Paste has any real value.
>>I haven't seen *any* convincing evidence that *any* of Hurtubise's 'inventions' have *any* applicability in the real world.<<
Any takers? *Prove* me wrong if you can!
Oh, and it's perfectly OK to wait until Feb. 17 if you'd like
"2.

If you watched and paid attention to the Discovery Channel demonstrations of firepaste, you may have gleaned the following tidbits of important information.
yes the experiments were carried out under Troy's conditions, which included that
1) the Discovery channel bring their own 'Brazing Torch' to carry out the experiments.
2} that Discovery Channel personnel operated said torch.
A quick check online informed me that 'brazing torches operate at temperature ranges in excess of 3200 degrees celsius (6000 Farenheight)
also
The "doll house experiment" was carried out twice with nearly identical subjects. (ie the houses) and under the same conditions, the protected house was undamaged- except for a thick grey goo covering the whole thing.
I do not think that firepaste has all the practical applications that Mr. Hurtubise claims. the substance is too brittle for many applications. I certainly don't think it could stand up to re-entry (maybe the heat- but not the friction)
While I would admit that Mr. Hurtubise is an outlandish individual, and does make extraordinary claims, the guy is a scrap metal dealer from North Bay. Everyone seems to think that he pulls off his demonstrations with some magic trick. Well then it is a pretty impressive trick. and I'd like to see you replicate his results for the Discovery Channel cameras.
No, everyone just saw the funny man get hit by car ha ha ha ......
"You forgot number three;

Yeah, I forgot that possibility. Actually, that's likely to happen. After all, he never said that any press or other verifiable observers would be present for the "demonstration." The sad thing is, even if he pulls that cheap theatrical stunt, there will still be people who will defend him.
Hey, may I join the conversation? One detail has been unnoticed yet: the angel light seems to have similar proportions as some claimed UFO contacts: electronics fail to work, for example.
I suggest that this whole matter is a specimen of an ALIEN TECHNOLOGY, which we just cannot comprehend. :coolhmm:
Remember it was given tu US through dream. This proves it must be unhuman and even unnatural knowledge.
"I suggest that this whole matter is a specimen of an ALIEN TECHNOLOGY, which we just cannot comprehend"
perhaps the interplanetary force of pyramid power and mysterious niceness has given troy this dream-gift as a weapon to save earth from the imminent evil space bear invasion mentioned in an earlier post.
"gee, pa, what are we gonna do? them evil space bears has killed the sherrif and stampeded all the cattle!!!"
"don't fret son, Troy's comin', and he's bringin' his new gun!"
You said,
>>Fire-Paste works just as he claims.<<
...then you said,
>>I do not think that firepaste has all the practical applications that Mr. Hurtubise claims.<<
So, I'd like to ask you to clarify what it is that you're asserting.
*I'm* asserting that there is no credible evidence to support the claim that *any* of Troy's inventions are of *any* value in a real world application. In particular I'd like to discuss the Fire Paste, because I think there's a remote chance there might be something to it. But I doubt it and want to know if there is any extraordinary evidence to support Troy's extraordinary claims.
I guess I'll have to do my homework and take another look at the Fire Paste demo on Discovery Channel...I don't think it constitutes extraordinary evidence...in the meantime please clarify your position on the fire paste; it's a bit vague.
Fire-paste, as Troy claims, dissapates vast quantities of heat, it relation to its volume. This has been shown in some of the demonstration where the brazing torch was turned on a shield of fire paste no more than an inch thick mounted on a hockey helmet that Troy was wearing. In 10 minutes, the temperature under the helmet had risen from 89.5 degrees F to a whopping 100.5 degrees F. (most likely due to his head being in the helmet)
The discovery channel brought Troy to the university of Toronto and put samples of the paste into a mass spectrograph and electron microscope.
the spectrograph revealed a fairly high component of bromine, and could not identify about 20% of the sample.
the microscope revealed an extremely porous nature which goes part way to explaining the heat dissapation.
the main reason this stuff is not marketable yet is that to get a patent, you must know why and how it works. and so far no one has been able to tell Troy exactly that.
more later have to go to work.
"I suggest that this whole matter is a specimen of an ALIEN TECHNOLOGY, which we just cannot comprehend. "

"don't fret son, Troy's comin', and he's bringin' his new gun!"
Now, see, THAT'S the kind of hard-hitting logical thought I've been looking for! If the rest of you would just make sense like that, I'd have nothing to argue with.
Ok back to my explanation for Intjudo.
As I mentioned the spectrograph did not identify about 20 % of the substance involved.
I do not mean that Troy has come up with some miracle unknown element... The Spectrometer was just not configured to detect whatever elements make up that 20 %. More testing was required to complete the investigation, but not in Troy's budget.
The Fire-paste is a mixture of many common compounds and solutions mostly readily available fire retardants and of course the secret ingredient Diet Coke.
Troy's claim is that he did over 3000 trial mixtures and pours before finally resolving the recipe for his mixture. That is a lot of trial and error.
As for his LIMBC cushions, They are multiple layers of among other things, Kevlar, plate steel fire-paste and Troy's own 1313 solution (the substance that when applied to two make-up remover pads lifted the BMW on Ripley's )
(Troy claims that 1313 is 105 times as strong as steel and a fraction of the weight. I have only seen the Ripley's demonstration, and only know that Troy claims this one as another trial and error experiment.)
I don't think that fire-paste is a good replacement for the tiles on the shuttle, because the substance appears to be quite brittle. I doubt that alone it would hold up to re-entry. The demonstration he did of the fire-paste combined with 1313 and kevlar was intriguing. (perhaps as a stop gap measure should a shuttle again lose a tile on a future mission?)
And that Bear-suit? That thing is just awesome! combine that with MIT's power assisted harness and what do you think? (or was that Berkeley? I believe it was a DARPA project anyway) That thing stops bullets, crossbow bolts, cars, logs, front-end loaders. I even believe that his newest version (mk VII) would stand up to, yes, a bear.
The question now is this Angel-Light.
I don't know... I really want to find out... and I would just about $#!+ my pants if it really worked. I will be dissappointed if it doesn't, not in the failure of the technology, but because I have admired Troy's work and this would leave a bit of a black mark don't you think.
As I posted before he is planning on demonstrating the device on Feb. 17. I thought it was implied but I meant with the media present. I don't know which media he means but I would hope that the Discovery Channel is invited.
It has been rumored though that at the request of the French Government, this demonstration, will not include looking through walls. But will instead demonstrate the E.M.P. effect. He is also trying to determine if he can remove the effect harmful to living organisms. As he stated that he will sell it to no one if he cannot do so.(a bit of a cop out I know, you don't have to point that out.)
That is just about everything I know about the situation, feel free to pick it apart now.
"Camero Inc. an Israeli firm founded by technology and intelligence veterans, received $5 million from Motorola and other investors to develop portable imaging radar that uses ultra-wideband technology to create a 3-D picture of objects that are concealed by walls or other barriers."
