German invents radar deflecting paint

Posted May 09, 2008 8:45 AM

Nickel already had a name for his miracle paint: AR 1. After spending thousands and thousands hours in the laboratory, he finally mixed the paint he was looking for. He sent a can of it to Helmut Essen, a radiation physicist who runs the radar technology department at the Research Establishment for Applied Science (FGAN) near Bonn.

How long before Maco offers paint jobs for your car with this stuff?

Next, add laser anti-reflection paint and you are good to go.

How much does it weigh. I would suspect that the Stealth bomber isn't all that concerned about fuel economy. How do plastic cars hold up to front impact testing?

Good for him.

There are not many wheelchair bound inventors, and it appears that his invention actually could be of commercial use.

Kind Regards....
