Loved this one, great hack and dangerous looking too :)
Also put to a good use, I’d probably chosen some silly joke to project…

this is an amazing idea… set it up outside some landmark or something lots of people take pictures and just let it run…
Wonder if theres a way that each time it fired you could progress the film and project a different image

Just wait for someone to use one of these to project Jesus’ face onto the white house, or religious monuments.

There’s probably some commercial applications for this cool invention, like having a permanent one installed in an art gallery so if you take flash photography of a statue you get an ‘embedded’ message saying ‘no flash photography’, or worse; advertisers utilising this technology at tourist traps…

but on the fun side of things, imagine going round a supposed haunted house with a camera and taking a few snaps, seeing the top-half of a ghostly person or a face in the corner of the room in your photos would be quite something

I love #8′s idea of preventing photos of art works. I know I’ve done that to cheat me paying a chunk of money for a copy.

lol, the guy said he patented it, like it is something revolutionary

Great, he’s ruined people’s holiday photos. That’s something that’s useful and productive towards society.

Does it make him feel big and clever to ruin people’s holiday photos? That’s so rude. It’s not even artistic, as the inventor claims it is. I’m saddened to see so many people thinking this is a good thing. You would not say that if he’d just ruined one of your photos.

The first thing I thought when I saw this was,”English, do you speak it?” That hands down makes this good, but really it just makes it better.

neat. it’d be really good for making a statement. i like the references to history he used, especially the reichstag burning. i want one. he has all the parts listed and a diagram so i don’t get why he patented it but whatever. i still want one.

rasz, tell me what isn’t a combination of previously invented things?

I was thinking of using something similar to this to evade traffic cameras. Use a high speed flash sensor to trigger an array of infrared LEDs mounted just above your license plate. When the speed or redlight camera triggers the infrared would wash out the license plate but the infrared would make it invisible to anything other than the camera assuming it doesn’t have a very good IR filter. There is probably some way to do this with a polarized film license plate cover and polarized light that would get around that.

cynic, blame google/ig. One of the articles today links here.

Funny and simple idea, really like it.

The fulgurator only works if you take a picture with the camera flash on, if dont use flash, this wont activate.

I personally avoid using the camera flash and discretely stabilize the camera most of the time, dont like the hard light of a flash, and if your trying to be discrete photo flash isnt.
