paperdyer Posted July 14, 2014 #27 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I need a vantablack guitar. Imagine police cars, used only at night, hiding to catch speeders. You'd never see them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spud the mackem Posted July 14, 2014 #29 Share Posted July 14, 2014 What is the human eye's sound perception? Apologies I got the sentence wrong thanks for being sarcastic .I meant Humans also have limited sound perception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyomotor Posted July 15, 2014 #30 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Human eye sight has a limited range , it also has limited sound perception. ultimate darkness is being in a cave underground when your light goes out. The human eye has limited sound perception??? I don't believe what my ears are seeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3.0 Posted July 15, 2014 #34 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Wonder if it will be valuable in making solar panels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightly Posted July 16, 2014 #35 Share Posted July 16, 2014 it reflects virtually no light... which means it would stick out like a black blob in contrast to anything around it that does reflect light.. no matter how little? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadicalX Posted July 16, 2014 #37 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Aborbs light.... Good concept for efficient solar panels, however cost if implementing such expensive nanotechnology in the present doesnt weigh out the benefits.... Large scale mass production... Obstructions by major energy producers... Installations....... This being said... That just one of the alternative ways we can use it..... Maybe countless others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarMountainKid Posted July 16, 2014 #38 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Reminds me of a scene in 'The Restaurant at the End of the Universe' by Douglas Adams where I think it's Arthur Dent is looking at a space ship that is so black he can't keep looking at it, his eyes just roll off it. I think that's how it went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundew Posted July 16, 2014 #39 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Would I be correct in assuming that because this material is so good at absorbing certain wavelengths of energy, it probably also would get quite hot when exposed to sunlight? Most dark materials do, but this might get somewhat hotter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundew Posted July 16, 2014 #42 Share Posted July 16, 2014 The secret formula: 1 part soul of Nazi camp guard, 1 part heart of corrupt politician, 1 part madness of a communist dictator, 1 part lies of a White House Press Secretary, 1 part Satan's laughter. For good measure add one part sarcasm of UM poster. Very black indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DecoNoir Posted July 16, 2014 #43 Share Posted July 16, 2014 on a very black background is quite useless since there aren't really any 'very' black backgrounds and i do think their interested because at night the soliders would practically be invisible as well as rockets, Ammo and Jet fighters. Actually that might be counter intuitive, as the night isn't anywhere close to pure black, so you'd have a bunch of man shaped black objects that would stand out even if the only light available was starlight. Also, black object absorb more heat, and this would be a problem on the modern battlefield with it range of IR and UV scopes. Generally the best camouflage has been found to not so much as blend in with a background, but to break up the outline of an object into something unrecognizable.
