Invisibility Cloak Could Shield Ships, Oil Rigs From Rough Waves

An invisibility cloak would pretty much be the coolest piece of wearable technology ever. You could sneak around undetected, listen in on conversations you probably shouldn’t be listening too, hide a bad hair day, you name it. They would also be handy for some super top secret missions, but a new use for invisibility cloaks would blow all those other ideas out of the water. A researcher from University of California Berkeley is proposing the idea of using invisibility cloaks for ships at sea. This “cloak” would have the capability of protecting the ship from rogue waves, minimizing damage and saving lives in the process. It may sound a bit far-fetched, but the technology may not be that far off.

Before you start imagining a giant iridescent cloth that captains would drape over their ships – the technology isn’t quite like that. Most cloaking technology is based on transformation optics and tweaking materials so that light and waves pass through. A cloaking device for ships in the water still relies on waves, but it actually involves changing the shape of waves so they pass under the boat without causing harm.
Reza Alam, assistant professor of mechanical engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, recently presented his findings at the American Physical Society’s (APS) Division of Fluid Dynamics (DFD) meeting, held from November 18-20, 2012, in San Diego, CA. Alam’s research delves into the variation of density in ocean water and waves. Ocean or sea water varies greatly in density based on temperature and salinity which creates stratified layers. Stratified waters contain “internal waves”, which are based on gravity, as well as “surface waves” caused by weather. Both of these waves are then affected by the undulations of the sea floor, but have different energies.

the Oracle inside the Matrix only offered neo a choice, the oracle was still apart of the matrix and had not yet left.
Yet the Matrix has a System, People who thought they left the matrix Joined Morpheus to go to ZION! Neo eventually worked out that to was a system of the MATRIX!

This is probably the First Article ive seen from Jay he has not tried to Insert Dogma about Nibiru or lead people in to Zion…
Keep up the Good work Jay this is much better “at least you just linked Facts”
