Nope it's worse. He's from North Bay, Ontario Canada! North Bay is really in the middle of nowhere. I guess this is his thing to pass the long winter nights, he is a genuis IMHO. If it all pans out the all I can say is "Nobel Prize"

I just watched the video on the Discovery link as provided. Uhh... Bear suit? This has got to be the most ludicrous idea I've seen in a long time. What possible practical application could this thing have? Diagnosis: Lame.
As for the armor bags, the video clearly states that they are made of sheets of kevlar, metal and his special goo. I don't know about his goo, but kevlar and metal are known materials. It is possible that his method of layering them is unique, and also possible that his goo is special in some way, but he just rambles about it so who can say?
I am interested in the heat-proof goo, but have yet to see the video.

Bunch of raving pseudo-scientist, that's what most of you lot are!
No-one has even attempted to theorize what this might be, how it might work etc. etc. Is this an intellectual discussion? OMG, that is really pathetic.
Well, let a scientist kick it off then:
Troy apparently uses a #load of industrial EM sources and other stuff. Lots of very interesting light sources with probably a mix of wavelengths from microwave up to deep UV. Let's propose he has more or less continuum of light.
But especially interesting might be this article which I found on the net:
my.ece.ucsb.edu...
Most of it is pretty useless but look at the Figure 11. Nothing comes through lead, right??? Well guess again, this is lead with miniscule apertures(subwave-length). So, suppose we have a Terahertz source, a Terahertz camera (THEY EXIST!!), could we see through lead. The answer is quite evidently, YES!! YES, we could all be fooled by Troy into believing that he can see through lead.
It takes me five minutes to come up with a totally plausible explanation. I totally can't believe no one else comes up with this and that everyone looks at his contraption and things: Owww, you probably need all that stuff to see through walls. Right.
And boys and girls, please don't believe it just because it has MIT slapped on it. MIT is very much overrated. In fact, in my field of expertise, they've never been able to do anything really.

Okay, I guess I didn't think of this. Bear scientists who want to get up nice and close to th bears. Yeah, I can see that. But if you need this thing (meaning mama bear is slapping you around), how much actual research would you be getting done in it?
I am laughing at the image of some bear researcher rolling off a cliff wearing one of these.
Also note that according to him some fire depts are interested if he can come up with a fireproof version. Just imagine being in a suit like that fighting a Fire, you know that if the building collapses in on you you have more time to be rescued.
Let's see some pics of Angel Light otherwise it's up there with the guy with the V8 that runs on water.
