A cloaking device is a hypothetical
or fictional stealth technology that
can cause objects, such as spaceships or individuals, to be partially or wholly
invisible to parts of the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum. However, over the
entire spectrum, a cloaked object
scatters more than an uncloaked object. This
potential cloaking device would stop shock waves through a wall of heated, ionized
air. This heated, ionized air would safeguard the solider by forming a
protective barrier around them. The protective barrier does not directly
protect them from the shock-wave. Instead, it causes the shock wave to bend
around them.
Shock waves that occur from explosions go right through peoples’ bodies
and cause severe head trauma. This cloaking device would help solve the other
half of the problem. Even if the shrapnel is nowhere near them, the force
incurred by the shock wave is enough to create serious injury. A detector spots
an explosion right before the shock wave follows. A curved shape generator,
connected to a large power source, produces electricity like a lightning bolt.
The curved shaped generator heats up the particles in the air, thereby effectively
changing the speed of the shock waves.
The bending occurs when the particles of the shock wave changes speed.
Curved shaped generators aren’t the only way to protect against shock waves.
Lasers, as well as a strip of metal placed along a truck, are capable of
offering this protection. Both of these things produce the same ionizing effect
and bend the shock wave as it changes speed. The only issue with this is the
amount of power that it would require. Reducing the amount of power needed
would make this cloaking device a reality.
