Infrared Goggle Hack For Under $10!!

I can't wait to try that out! Thanks Kipkay!

Could you make me a spacecraft out of a washing machine kippy?

would u tell me how can i found metacafe cap ?

Nothing in those goggles changes the wavelength of the light, and we cannot see infrared light, so why would blocking the red and blue light cause us to see IR?

This would S**k if you triped and fell on your back

And faced the sun

you kind of scared me when you said dont look at the sun i wont be trying taking this

That's awsome man! I got to try that! But who was the silly man wearing them?

and CRAP!

I looked into the sun.

I looked into the sun!

Did you try looking into the sun just to be sure?

thats not infer red...i thought IR lets u see heat in the night or something

now you have big 3-D glasses

HOW DO YOU KNOW ALL THIZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

do you fund that hat (metacafe one)

DON'T LOOK INTO THE SUN! LOL

can your see ir lights in a remote control or anything , either way im building one. it looks awesome.

Im color blind, will this work?

He's proudly wearing his metacafe hat.

Again great Vids Kipkay.

You have the like best Narration voice. I wish you could narrate my vids lol. Well, If I made some that required it.

you didn't say what to do with the red lenses

Seeing the sun it would be the first thing i would do(thank's to your tip i won't!)!

Can you make a x-ray goggle, too? I'll give you five star.

very nice good job with more stuff like this u just maybe will stay ahead of shooting eggs... altho they are catching up fast

Can you use these goggle to detect heat sources? For instance, where a house is emitting heat in the winter or the parts of a person's body that are warmest?

have to teach us how to make nightvision goggles

now how can we make night vision goggles?

be sure not to look into the sun... or you'll burn ur corneas in a second! tempting to see if hes telling the truth

Too bad i won't try it :( ... i have a 100 percent chance of looking at the sun because i have a problem. like when the electric grill is on , i am bound to touch it at least once. i don't know what it is , i just have to do it... so in this video u said not to look at the sun .. but i will definitely do that since u told me not to :(

Master kip has done it again...keep it up,we want more........at least i do......

I thought u said one hundred and ten bucks, i was like how is that cheap? lol

I bet most of us will be tempeted to do the opposite. Damn our natural curiousity. lol

would it really burn our cornea in a second?

classic kip, 5 stars

really great creativity guys

will these help me see and identify all the friggin Aliens around us all ??? ahhhhhhh, i know they're there, really !

I wanna look at the sun

Now it's time to build the "see through women's clothes" goggles...

Crank it up baby!!!

lol i loved the video but all i could seem to focus on was the metacafe hat....could you show us how to make one of those?

where in florida do you live?

do you buy these gels?

"If you look in the sun, you can burn your cornea in seconds"

Holy S**t .

that thing about not looking into the sun, or you will burn your eyes in a second is scary as hell

Another success !
Cool ! I'm happy for you.
5 for sure.
;-D

This is an interesting idea. I'll have to give this a shot.

For some reason when I saw the tittle, I thought that it said "Night vision Goggles" so when you said "be sure that it is a bright sunny day" I was a little confused. Great vid!!

will these goggles see thru dresses and bathing suits?

where can i find the red and blue sheets? 5 stars keep up the good work!

the King of the technerds, where do you come up with this stuff? :) LOL

where do you find the theatrical gels? Will a craft store such as Michael's carry them?

Great idea and video! 5 stars!

Im gonna go buy some of this stuff.

Does it have to be congo blue or can it be deep blue? thanks

where did you get the lighting gel? I really need to know.

made one of these. i didnt look at the sun, but i did listen to it, My ears fell off, be warned.

where do i in the uk get this lighting gel from

at night? Isn't that the point of infrared goggles? Will this work if you have an infrared flashlight?

use his vid to ip trace his web site

Where did you get your goggles? From the internet or a store or something. Would you be able to find them at a Home Depot or Lowes? And you can find these gels where? Sorry if it seems like im asking alot >.

i have an old pair of 3D glasses for like some old 3D movie. there is one red and one blue layer (duh). if i over lap them, is that infrared vision?

what is the use of these anyways? does it help you see heat or something? i do not understand

Will this work as a replacement for the camera on the "DIY Night Vision" video?

Also, does it really make infrared light visible, or just make things LOOK like infrared?

a person's pupils will fully dilate to get enough normal spectrum light for sight, while the ratio of infrared light is much, much higher. A warning not to wear these goggles for more than a couple minutes would be advised.......but who is really going to put in all the effort to make the goggles and not use them for hours (in aggregate) over a number of months or years? Sorry, but this a video where you are putting people's eyesight at risk. I know it's not intentional, you put forth good effort in making it, but you are profiting from peoples eye damagel. :-(

Again, love your other videos.

i feel like a manchild again!
haha.
rad.

did you find these "gels" for $.50 each?

This will KILL your eyes ! You had better hope that nobody tries to use these as IR protective eyewear :( Damn...IDIOT

Please credit Bill Beaty in the video.

how to make one?

I wonder if you couldn't use the same Low-Pass filter to create a IR-Flashlight? Then you could use the two together to see in the dark.

I told my cousin that if you look at the sun with on of these u will see bunny then he did it!!!!

one thing if all the googles do is block red/blue light
why would loking at the son be any diferent from loking ani other way
i mean the glasses only block they dont intensifi
of course i coulde be wrong
can anyone please explain?

How do you keep coming up with this stuff? I am amazed at how many video's you have produced and how quick they get there. I'm still trying to get my first.

I WILL MAKE IT FOR YOU

Great vid kip

you are my idol :P
great video
5*

sounds all professional...i'd believe him if he said cheese could power an ICBM

Learn that this isnt Infa red ... damn i saw this two times now ... F**k , this is nothing ! Take a blue paper and look through it ... wow the world is blue ... damn ....

I LOOKED INTO THE SUN AND NOW IM BLINDDD. :( Dammm GOGGLES.

Take a look at my video some time. Loved it!

Great trick, I did it with the 4 Blue and 1 Red configuration and had tons of fun. But the horrible accident occured when I handed the goggles to my brother and he had accidentally glanced into the sun.
He went blind in a second he said. The way I had noticed that his cornea's were burned was because when he glanced at the sun he started screaming. But thanks for the trick and I'll play with them with caution!

Quit showing off your metacafe hat! lol

I agree with some earlier comments. I don't think these would really let you see infrared light.

To test it, wear the goggles in a dark room, and press some buttons on a TV remote (which uses IR). Can you see any light when you press the buttons?

Also, a fun tip -- Take a digital camera into the dark room (no goggles this time) and aim the remote at the camera while pressing the buttons. The camera screen will probably show the light shining from the remote.

So then, you have also discovered a way to convert the lower energetic NIR to the higher energetic visible spectrum.

So for under 10 bucks you also break basic laws of physics! Now that IS cool :)

does just glancing at the sun for a second blind you, or do you have to stare for it to blind you?

well nothing happened

all i saw was a purple dot

and...

I use 'em in paintball... Camoflauge is useless! ;)

Cheapest price I found is $6.25 a sheet for the gel cells.
Checked all the Theatrical supply stores in my area.

Do you have any ideas on thermal vision? That would be awsome.

The instructions as given WILL DAMAGE YOUR EYES, even if you don't look at the sun. The dark plastic lenses will block all light except for near infrared and UV. Your pupils will dilate, and the UV will burn your corneas. Add glass lenses or sun glass lenses to the stack to block most of the UV.

coooooool

i cant make it..........i KNOW I WILL LOOK AT THE SUN =(

It should not work well I think. As far as I know human eye is only sensitive to visible light, and if you filter out all visible light, you get DARKNESS...or some sort of darkness, because there is no exact borderline between hard IR and low frequency visible red light, and sensitivity to IR and deep red may differ from person to person, so it may work for someone but others.

BUT CCDs like those in your mobile are usually sensitive to IR up to 1000 nm, which is much more than your eye. So if you filter out ALL visible light, you will probably see nothing, but your camera will get true IR vision.

Thats pretty cool. Oh,and I like your hat. :)

these work at night with ir leds?

realy nice

People cant see infared. This is why we use nightvision with infared lights to enhance our vision with use of gadgets. Filters only filter out what we presently see.. which means you will see less.. otherwise with these goggles you would be able to find that shoe in the dark.. which isnt possible.. False information..

Theatrical lighting gels? I've never seen those.
I live in U.S.

how the comment thing works.. it doesn't show up 0_0.

Could you look at the sun at NOT burn your corneas if you close your eyes while looking?
And if you do not add red gels, can you look at the sun and not go blind?

Owwwwwww,, my eyes hurt.

where did you get those paper things :d
gel papers :

???
waht kind of store please

:D

THis goggle and rob a bank.

Is because these goggles make your pupils open right up - your eyes are only weakly sensitive to IR - and by blocking out all the normal visible wavelengths, these goggles allow your eyes to open up and adjust themselves to maximum sensitivity.

I'd suggest not taking them off in a bright place either, as you'll find that uncomfortable until your eyes adjust back again.

i know what site you probably got these off, if he woulda made vid hed have had the money, whatever though, i made these years ago but never knew of metacafe =( IM POSTING MY VID!

i have got to make that. also, will it really enable you to see infrared light? even if it wont, i am still gonna make some.

Don't look at the blue light!IT IS UV!!

You won't be able to see any infrared light, as your eyes can't see it. It just blocks most of the visible spectrum of EM waves.

i liked it

Your like the MCGYVER of this Generation man. Keep up the good work. One suggestion.... is there any way you can make a regular stereo sstem surround sound? THanks dude

come look at my videos there good ... they may not top this Infrared goodness but there still good.

man kipkay you done it again you are the man kipkay
