This reminds me of in the late 1960s when I worked in an architectural office and we had new fluorescent light units fitted. The lights had a clear acrylic diffusing sheet which consisted of hundreds of very small prismatoids. The light tubes were virtually invisible so there was no glare.
Not all drones have operators. This would still be useful against fully autonomous drones, or drones on autopilot where the operator isn't paying attention.
"I wonder if you can spot me now." Let me guess, you're behind that big, obvious, rectangular plexiglass "invisibility shield" panel you just showed us...
In the ultimate case, you then get a shield with one uniform color equal to the average color of what is behind. You would be better off painting a piece of plywood with that color.

@theactionlab Do you think that a similar type of light diffraction sheeting/film could be adapted to direct more light into solar panels from any angle, so they'd be more effective at harvesting light energy when they aren't perfectly aligned with the sun? Is that already a thing? Can you do a short on it or something? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeasse!!! And, of course, THANK YOU for all your awesomely informative videos!!!
Do you think you could duplicate the effect in a wearable application? What if you had several small panels sewn or glued to a piece of clothing? Or small hemispheres?

Oh, or maybe go the other route and put a removable window in there so you can peek out. Just ordered one of my own! Man I'm really not going to wanna wait for December...
It seems incredibly impractical and with how obvious it is, to anyone actually trying to find you, hiding behind a nontranspranent sheet would be just as useful.
I love how Light functions. 🙂 And there's sooo much going on with it regarding my series of books, too. But my readers just have NO idea (by design). 😂 I friggin' love it. 🐲✨🐲✨🐲✨
If what I think I saw is correct, the bumps of the shield were like parallel lines of waves all having the same wavelength, which seems to be spreading the light in lines. What if the bumps were more like individual mounds which would spread the light in all directions? What if the mounds had an assortment of different sizes? And what if the edges of the shield were not straight lines but were a fractal like geometry which made the edges of the shield difficult to see?
That is not how things will go down. The AI overlord will use cloaking technologies like demonstrated in this video, in order to hide its own drones from humans (and other human controlled drones and cameras), so as to more effectively monitor human activities. A ~1 kg drone can easily hold cameras, wireless communications equipment, some batteries and some control/propulsion fans. However, current generation ~1 kg drones have very short battery life, typically 30 minutes or less. The drone thus cannot hover over a battlefield, city, or over the open ocean (watching ships and near surface submarines) indefinitely. The situation can be improved however, if a roughly ~1 cubic meter balloon filled with hydrogen is attached to the ~1 kg drone. The buoyancy of the hydrogen balloon will enable the drone to hover in place practically indefinitely, day or night, especially when a lightweight solar panel is also added to the craft. So long as the local wind speeds do not become excessive, it can perform a stationary hover for basically as long as the AI controlling it wants, and it could also cross continents and oceans without needing to land (assuming a well designed balloon with either very low hydrogen leakage rates, and/or an onboard hydrogen generator, using something like a small Peltier element (powered by the solar panel) to condense water from air, and then to electrolyze it to produce replacement hydrogen to counteract the natural hydrogen leakage from the balloon/hydrogen sack). However, a drone with a 1+ cubic meter hydrogen balloon is not entirely stealthy. Drones in general are usually made from lightweight materials like plastics and carbon fiber, which tend to be either radar transparent or absorbing. The low quantity of radar reflecting metals used in small drones makes them have an extremely small radar cross section, such that they are already mostly or effectively "radar stealth" aircraft. However, they can still be spotted, tracked, and ultimately shot down by visible wavelength human or camera observations and tracking software (at least during the daylight hours). Hence, the AI overlord will have a need for cloaking technologies like demonstrated in this video, so as to better obscure its own observation and communication relay drones from humans. Such will make them much harder to find and shoot down, by humans that may perceive the AI overlord as a threat.
The person who invented this knew the army would want it, so put it into the public domain first. What a nice guy.
Shoulda just sold it to the MIC and retire a billionaire. What a dumbass😂
