- In This video I show you a new material called IR flock sheet that absorbs visible and infrared light! I test if you can avoid IR motion sensors with it then shine my 100,000 lumen flashlight on it and measure the temperature change!
Where I got the material:

Imagine putting this all over someone’s room when they’re sleeping and they wake up and they have no idea where they are
I'm thinking of a big tent and put him/her there.
I bet someone will do this in future
ROFL
It would like the infinity room in Minecraft lol
Better yet, make a maze with it, and drop someone in it while sleeping. They wake up with an electric lantern on right next to them. Imagine navigating a maze blind, but you aren't blind and you can see yourself clearly.
At this point the companies are just competing who can send the darker black to him.
lol
For real😂
lmao
Exactly lol
Lol
This looks like the hole the coyote used with the roadrunner lol
I live in a sailboat in northern Norway, here we have a darktime of 2.5 months during the winter (no sun all day). I want to paint my boat and sails with this paint / fabric ..... The black pearl of the north ;D
Love you channel
This paint is so dark that if you tried to wear it as stealth they'd still notice you because you're darker than your surroundings
You. have you read disc world
@@meyou4772 No, and I don't plan on it
@@xitcix8360ok just asked because were to dark of cloths making you stand out at night is a common subject in it.
@@meyou4772 Ah. Makes sense, I figured you were just self promoting
@@xitcix8360 no it’s just a good series.
You definitely need to make a suit out of that material and walk around at night.
Who knows, it may be too dark to be of any use as camouflage
@@gorgosanma yeah because itll still stand out as darker than its surroundings
Car lights won't reflect on you, good luck not getting hit by a car.
And don’t look both ways when crossing the street
Ankit Meher question: what does the army have to do with any of this again?
I thought it's just a fun thing to see what happens at night, can you be distinguished easily by the human eye etc - not some military camo suit use-case
That black material was messing with my eyes! Who would think that a dark color could have such a huge impact on your perception! The darkest and most reflective materials you're playing with is cool as hell! You've got some awesome "toys!" You continue to produce incredible videos, thank you very much for that!

Now I'll be sad if you don't use the sheets in the background from now on
Imagine this material but in green color absorbing 50% of light for example. It will be perfect green screen.
When he was checking the sheet's temperature, why did I see light reflecting off it? That's almost impossible.
@@amazingfireboy1848 He was probably using one of the stronger flashlights, 0.3 of it would shine a bit, and also it was at an angle, letting some light escape.
@@leonline4931 ok
I kind of want to see you boil water with your flashlight and that fabric. 😁
Bake an egg on it.
Me too!
Yesss
Or perhaps leave a bowl of water coated with that fabric in the sun.
Ye
Here's what I think happened when you draped the fabric over you. The fabric absorbs all IR, so it is also a good emitter. When you draped it over you, the warm air and IR from your body warmed the fabric. So the fabric was warmer than the surroundings, making it emit IR and causing the detector to register motion. Terrific video - great ideas.
At this point now...the beginning...to now...THIS IS MY FAVOURITE
I wonder, how that sheet would look like when you try creating a 3D model of your room with the LiDAR scanner...
Me too
Probably just won't work
No, but I mean, will there just be an infinitely deep hole??
A lidar won't deliver data in that area. That means no infinite-hole, just a hole in the scan. It's also common to see holes in photogrammetry when your surfaces aren't lighted/textured enough
I actually tried it with the LIDAR scanner app and it just patched the hole as if it were a flat plane. It must have some algorithm that assumes a flat surface if there are edges around it and it doesn’t get any data from the hole.
you always know what the people want to see
Hello DeSinc from CZcams channel DeSinc
Hi DeSinc, hope you’re well. :)
🤔
Or what they don't want to see considering how it absorbs most light
Longer you stare at the void, the clearer it is, void stares you back.
This would be awesome for a cinema/game room need to get this :D

Love your videos man ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is literally the perfect chroma-key, you don't need any lite adjustment so it'll be the same color everywhere, this can green screens so much better!!!
Imagine moving every furniture and appliances somewhere else then placing that in all places of the house for April fool's Day lol
Tutorial how to be blind without hurting ur eyes
1:35 I have an OLED screen on my phone and when you put that sheet in front of the camera it was as dark as the lateral pixels which weren’t even turned on. THAT’S CRAZY!!!
Of course it is were u paying any attention to the video? Lmao
@@revenant6371 I was... that’s why I said that. It is only 99.7% absorbent. Not 100%. The thing that boggles me is that they absorb so much light that not even the color range of a modern display can show that last 0.3% of light. That’s why I said OLED. Cause 99.7% for OLED is just like an off pixel.
@@chairpara I also got oled and it is not uncommon that pixel turn completely off on yt videos where black is shown..
@@sneez9461 the whole point was that the black sheet that he was holding was so black that the screen recognized it as off pixels. Not as a shade of grey or something else
@@chairpara Yes i get your point, but an OLED/AMOLED will turn off the pixels in most situations even when theres a slight shade of another color, atleast with me. It rarely is almost black. But yes i get your point and the phone is like turned off
I love this guy! He is so happy to science
I like how you take off your shoes as to not get the void muddy
"Thats SoOoOoOoO cool"
No that's sooooooooo black

@@Travminer123 my computer can't handle the rendering
Imagine making a t-shirt out of that
Someone actually made it
I'M FINALLY THIN
or a hoodie
theres no stains if you cant see the stains
There's no stains if you can't see the stains!
That gigablack background looks awesome. 😎👌🏻
This black sheet is kind of trippy tbh!
The last scene where you're in front of the material made me think this might be a really good replacement for a "green" screen. Can you try keying that footage to black and see what happens? The obvious advantages would be much easier lighting as you'd only have to worry about the actors and not about an evenly lit background, and you would also not have any color bounce around the edges to interfere with the keying.
Damn, at night you would become invisible with clothes made out of this.
Edit:
Thanks for all the likes 👍😀
And get hit violently by cars possibly
Imagine wearing that while playing something like hide and go seek, or Man Hunt.
actually u will be more visible, cuz u will be darker than environment.
Basically same stuff as IR motion sensor, better wear that green camo if u in woods, and gray cammo in cities
the invisible pedestrian.
@@UltimRoGuE Not if you hide in the right places, but yes I do get get your point.
Incredible, thank you for the video. :) Btw, shouldn't that IR+Vis Black material become heated over? Because it absorbs IR but never emits it.
Would be interesting to use this or musou black paint to build a solar water heater.
"Which one is darker?" Can't tell with my phones amoled screen, they both look the same since the pixels aren't even on
Same
On IPS i see difference :D
3:45
James:Which one of these looks darker?
Me: that's basically the difference between black and black.
Curious if there's something you could do with this for heating. It must be absorbing EM over a wide range and emitting in a short range.
i love how this is uploaded on april 1st
You can use a pot covered with this black sheet, expose it to a summer sun and boil some water to cook the pasta, MAMMA MIA!!!

Woah! So Cool!
How the hell are you getting such awesome content...😂😂💥💥 Great videos...keep going 👏👍
We can't see how black that actually is, because maximum darkness of our screen is not equals to darkness of that black sheet
One man that looks like he's playing April's fool prank on everyone daily but never is.
Thats because vantablack exists
@@GDPlainA I mean if you really gonna dig deep , even vantablack isn't the darkest material made. It's the most stable commercially viable material that's all. So for most common purposes including for this video there isn't much difference between vantablack and IR flock sheet.
@@countdracula7896 im only saying that im not fooled because i know vamtablack exists, and yes there is something darker than vantablack
@@GDPlainA well as I said it won't even matter if he used vantablack , for us it's just a edited black screen no matter what you use. In case that difference is visible to you , that's when things start becoming relevant. Now most of his audience can't conduct an experient to verify if something is Dark-er so it really isn't a matter of concern.
@@countdracula7896 the point im trying to say is that when vantablack exists, the other blacks exist
The "hole" threw me back to my days playing toontown as a kid
I wonder how well it would work in a solar cooker.
Also, if you combine it with a material that can absorb as much sound, then it seems like you might have the perfect stealth shield for airplanes
Just aim the missisle at that curious moving void...
Making a real ninjasuit out of this would be so sick!👍👌
Lol his newest video

@@papplejooz2137 mhm
@@papplejooz2137 pretty sure he actually did this already. Maybe someone else but I'm most certain someone did this already.
@@papplejooz2137 you're right, it really is. 👍
I wonder if you could make an outdoors coffee cup with this material where you take a large glass cup (let's say 32oz) and wrap around it with the material. Along the rim you add rounded bumps to concentrate light around the edges like a magnifier. How hot would it get around noon? *scratches chin* I suppose you can make the glass with some ratio of self-tinting transition material to control temperature so it doesn't get too hot without liquid just resting on a picnic table. 😊

3 seconds later: So I received the new world’s darkest paint and it can absorb 99.95% of gamma rays and all other light. Let’s test it.
Actually, if it absorbs all visible light, it also absorbs UV light.
@@Ryan-lu9km And why exactly is that?
@@Cobalt_Spirit I'm saying that it already absorbs UV light because UV is lower in the spectrum than visible light, so any black material absorbs almost all UV light.
@@Ryan-lu9km Fun fact glass while it is transparent to visible and UVA light. UVB ans UVC light is absorbed. So just cause something is black doesn't mean it will be able to absorb the higher frequencies of electromagnetic radiation.
@@deathrobloxian I know, but most of the times it will, because something that absorbs a longer wavelengh (visible light) will absorb all UV light (shorter than visible light) but can't absorb something above it (infrared light).
The ultimate filmmaking tool!!!
Who needs a green screen when you can literally chroma key in real life!!!
That's so awesome wow
o, infrared light shined on say, an old 50 gallon water tank painted with matte black paint would boil or get really hot? or any container painted black? I do camping a lot and wonder if this would heat water for a shower, dishes, etc. for an off grid cabin (or black 2.0 paint is better??
All goths will be making their clothes out of this material now 😆
And be hit by level 5 self driving, LiDAR relying cars in the future. 😉
"WOW IT WORKED!" xD I love this guy
I love him too man
Don't forget about Vantablack. Absorbs 99.965% of all light.
Fascinating
JUST IMAGINE
If someone paints the whole house in this colour he will die for sure because of
1- evantually by excess heat
2- by having unstable mental condition because there is no shadow and most of the light gets attracted
And so on
Mix this with an anechoic chamber and you've got near total sensory deprivation, with only Gravity as a reference...
@@tsandman fill it with water.
@@Astanta666 with water as reference
Drop it from a skyscraper
also becoz how expensive it would be
How warm do those get from absorbing ambient light?
Not warm at all. Regular room light carries very little energy.
@@Thematic2177 oh ok
How it does on Sun?
0:50 If there is anyone wondering, that japanese text says 'arigatou' meaning thanks
The sheet should also radiate heat very well.Take a thermal camera, stick different materials on a steel plate (aluminum foil, paper, black paint, flock sheet...). Heat the plate so that it's visible on the camera. Compare how much the materials glow.
I actually thought of your experiments with these dark materials and paints when we got our new chicks yesterday and one of the little black chicks head looked like deep black velvet...not glossy or shiny, just a rich velvety black, and almost looked like the shape of it was cut out of the image I was seeing looking down into the washtub. This has been a very interesting series.
8:45 love how you can see the shirt fibers along the sholders.
I wonder if you recorded the sheet on Scandy, if it would register as just a hole.
0:52 you have to do that it would be so cool painting clothes with the blackest black paint oh please do that that would be sick
Let me tell you straight, you have one of the finest and interesting experiments in your channel
Thats also my opinion
1:21 "ok now, this stuff is black"
thanks man, I couldn't tell right away.
😂😂😂
r/wooooooooooooosh
@@RGC_animation who are you wooshing?
@@Metal_Master_YT You, lol
@@RGC_animation for what.
I'd like to see this material in solar vacuum tubes or passive solar air heaters.
about the motion sensor, what if you turned it on already facing the black fabric then come between them with another black fabric as cover? could the IR motion sensor detect a change?
Black hole - on a roll! :) Another great video thank you!
I loved the hole in the wall with the "it worked!" 😂
3:34 this is the blackest sheet I've ever had darker than musou black.
Months later
This is darker than amy black I've had before, black hole black
Well actually thats true. Black holes absorb 100% of light.
Now THIS is good keying
Hi there, my love to The Action Lab! 🎉❤️ Really love your videos!!!
I definitely want to buy some of that fabric and make a ninja costume for Halloween! Thanks for the vid!

I have to use this as the wallpaper in my bedroom.
How durable is the sheets? Like could you make a decent set of clothing or is it pretty prone to ripping and stuff
This is soooooo cool dude
That was really fascinating. I wonder if you could make a shirt out of that fabric?
I want a tattoo haha 🌈
That'd be awesome especially in a hot summer

Perfect! Now I can put on as much weight as I want, and no one will ever know... :)
Merry Christmas
Great channel, lots of fun watching interesting science videos. I decided to try a project with KOYO IR Flock Sheet 400mm x 950mm , and am sorry to say it's not even close to absorbing 99% of light. It really looks like dark felt, reflects plenty of light at any angle or crease. Even in dark or low light it was not any better, ideas?
You were scammed, unfortunately. You bought it on Amazon and not from
Japan.
8:33 perfect background with no editing
3:19 here, the cloth which is wrapped on a rod is actually kind a reflecting the light more than the one that is spread on the table.
That’s the back of the sheet
Better than a green screen. Willing to bet you could even wear black clothes and crop out easier with this as a background than a green screen.
i was thinking the exact same thing!
On the plus side, wrinkles wouldn't be a problem at all, and you'd have a very stable, clear surface to work with. However, black is a pretty common colour so trying to avoid any black in the shots could be far more annoying than avoiding any green.
@@StuffandThings_ Do to the level of black this provides, even the darkest black clothings commonly available should easily contrast against it as far as the camera is concerned. One could always turn up the contrast of the image to get a better crop o black cloths and tune it down afterwards, which I doubt is needed. With the added benefit of not having to deal with the lighting issues of a green screen.
@@Indrid-Cold If you had a youtube channel with at least a million subscribers I bet they would have given you some for free. 3 million and they wouldn't care how lacking your content was.
Sadly it's all about the numbers. Regardless of how much effort you put into it.
This idea already used on stage incl Broadway to edit out puppet handlers on stage
Vantablack or IR Flock sheet inside evacuated vacuum tubes for extreme heat when placed in sunlight IMHO.
