Let's Settle This Once And For All: FLIR Cameras Don't Emit Light
OK. We just received this message from Paul Guggenbuehl, who we assume knows what he's talking about. Paul is the co-founder of Wilson Defense Systems and they specialize in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Paul recently hooked up a thermal camera to a prototype UAV and got awesome results. The debate about Bigfoot's ability to see infrared is still raging on, and there seems to be some confusion about whether or not FLIR cameras emit light. Here's what he wrote:
FLIR cameras dont emit ONE photon, not one particle of light. THEY ARE PASSIVE. THEY DONT SHINE anything out of themselves. The Cameras are PURELY Passive, stuff goes IN but NOTHING comes out.
I think where people are getting confused is, I think I put out the IDEA that BF can see IR beams coming out of Game CAMS.
CHEAPER NIGHT VISION GOGGLES have small IR beams that you can use if its TOO dark for the light amplification sensor. NIGHT VISION GOGGLES use LIGHT amplification and it CAN get TOO dark so they dont work. IN that case they have a small IR beam to augment the low light conditions. IF BF can see it then he would SEE that BEAM. BUT FLIR cameras like I have and what Mike Green used are COMPLETELY PASSIVE, they dont emit one light particle not one photon, not a molecule of anything. So Big Foot CANT see whats NOT there.
Since Paul is an expert, we totally believe him and trust what he has to say. If anyone tells you that FLIRs emit light, please tell them they're wrong and refer them to this post.
I'm M.K. Shawn and I thank ya for ya time.
It's settled once and for all.
ReplyDeleteapparently Bigfooters can't read the specs of these FLIR cameras or their Sony handycams...turn off the Sony light source, it will still be IR sensitive in Nightshot mode.
DeleteI'm a little shocked this is confusing for them, but it does explain why they argue so much about facts they don't know.
Last.
ReplyDeleteYea it should be settled but you know it won't though , the skeptics and the "knower's" out there could read this same article tell there head's fucking explode and they will still argue the point and tell you that ur wrong lol
ReplyDeleteHe is correct in his very simplified description. But buying one and putting it on a drone doesn't make you a thermal imaging expert.
ReplyDeleteNo, it doesen't, but doing it for a living with Wilson Defense Systems as a co-founder, imo does..learn to read
DeleteCo-founding a company that has the word "Defense" in it doesn't have any thing to do with actual knowledge. Learn to think!
DeleteThis "expert" thinks light is made up of molecules. Photons are not molecules.
DeleteThis one is for the idiots out there.
ReplyDeleteAs well as for the idiots in here.
DeleteMy problem is why would somebody come forward like this and post this information who has zero interest in this subject?
ReplyDeleteHe's probably correct, I'm not an expert so will bow down to that, but why??????????
That has me curious.
Taught Advanced Aviation Electronics for the Navy and worked with several Forward Looking Infrared systems. Your expert is right on the money. I personally believe Sasquai can see well into the IR spectrum. That fact coupled with the considerable subsonic noises that a game cam emits make camera traps generally useless in the field. Joe Black used some innovative methods to camouflage his game cam, even setting up a dummy, and they still busted him. One additional consideration, the IR Illuminators that he referred to are generally only good for a few feet of usable illumination as far as the camera's sensor is concerned. But they travel a long way, line of sight. They would be like a spotlight to our eyes. Keep in mind there are other sources of IR one doesn't think about... for example, all cameras use an IR beam to aid in auto-focus. If you don't turn it off in your setup menu, you are essentially popping a big flashbulb every time you take a picture. Don't forget many remote controls for cameras etc. use near infrared as a control beam as well.
ReplyDeleteWell said!
DeleteThis would be great to experiment with when encountering sasquatch. Maybe get a few inexpensive tv remotes and see if shooting IR at them would change their behavior. Might be especially useful trick when hunters experience intimidation/growling/screaming encounters. Then again, they might just run up to you and smack you around for pointing a light in their eyes. Bitch-slapped by a bigfoot would not be cool.
ReplyDeleteWould make for a great story here though
DeleteShawn YOU STILL A TOTAL JACK ASS and now you show how stupid and ignorant you really are...
ReplyDeleteLikes to hob on knobs.^^^
DeleteAnon 5:31, leave Shawn alone! You stupid head!
ReplyDeleteI have a secret crush on Shawn. Sigh, he is so adorable.
DeleteCellulite is an unsightly dimpled appearance, especially around the thighs.
ReplyDeleteFor a faster and reliable result, skin care professionals may recommend these therapies that are
less-invasive to the body. Also, if you are being treated by a physician for any type of medical condition, it is important to let the
office know.
Here is my web blog - Cellulite removal
When covering the area, it should be enough to use a regular
ReplyDeletebandage. As a word of caution you should also never try to manually remove the
warts yourself, as that can lead to the virus spreading.
Others think tanning and sunning themselves will dry up their
skin and pimples to eliminate their acne.
