An operational, non-fictional cloaking device might be an extension of the basic technologies used by stealth aircraft, such as radar-absorbing dark paint, optical camouflage, cooling the outer surface to minimize electromagnetic emissions (usually infrared), or other techniques to minimize other EM emissions, and to minimize particle emissions from the object.
[2] A sphere with radius R 1 is chosen as the object to be hidden. The cloaking region is to be contained within the annulus R 1 < r < R 2. A simple transformation that achieves the desired result can be found by taking all fields in the region r < R 2 and compressing them into the region R 1 < r < R 2. The coordinate transformations do not ...
A pot-in-pot refrigerator, clay pot cooler [1] or zeer (Arabic: زير) is an evaporative cooling refrigeration device which does not use electricity.
