Anyone know of any programs that help you turn a normal pic to xray form or otherwise, abit like the sony camcorder that records see through pics.?

cheers

X-Rays are illegal to use without a license because they cause cancer if over used. Plus they are pretty damn big. As far as the sony thing, that was a glitch with the nightvision/heat detection mechanism which was soon taken off the market err at least recalled. I don't know of any other good way to do it.

zok, sorry mate, but i should of put it better.What i want to do is get a picture that i have had sent to me and get it so that ou can see through the clothes.Now i have seen it done on an asian site but the dude woudlnt say how he did it.

zok, i think i put the question wrong.What i really wanted was to get a normal picture and turn it into the sort of picture that you have with the sony cam, you know, see through, ive seen it done by an asian guy but he wouldnt say how he did it.

silly believer ...

I bet you would send him money if he promised you to tell how.

Some fabrics are transparent to infrared light. Cameras can see infrared light. Therefore, cameras can see through some fabrics. The problem is that the visible light overpowers the weaker infrared. So, you have to block out all the visible light and only let the infrared light reach the camera. You can buy an IR filter for your camera, or you can make your own filter for a lot less cash. Go to a theater supply place and get a sheet of Congo Blue filter gel, and a sheet of Primary Red. Lay them together and it will appear black. Look at it with a camcorder and it will appear nearly transparent. There's your filter. You perv.

Post the URL so we can make an educated guess as to how it was done.

There was a book I remember reading in Jr. high. It was way old then [copyright 1924, I think]. I've been looking for it almost since then.

It's called 'The Boy Electrician' by Alfred P. Morgan. It had some great sh*t in there to build - and some whacked out stuff too!

I mean, with some of that stuff, it's no wonder the life expectance was way lower than today.

Besides the old standards like making a Van der Graff generator [which, by the way, are a total blast to fool with], there is one project that used an ordinary vacuum tube [a penny a dozen when the book was written, but still to be found today].

What it did with the tube was to [I can't remember specifics - it was 1975 that I read this, after all ;-) ] somehow boost the operating frequency of the tube so that it produced X-rays!

After building the unit it told you things you could do - including taking an X-ray of your hand. Though, to be fair, it did tell you to limit your exposure.

Remember the book was the Boy electrician: it was meant for boys about 12 years old!

Another fun one involved a Van der Graff and I forget what all else. But it was labled as an 'Atom smasher'.

This one said to not even be in the room when it was operating! So you can imagine what it was actually spewing out.


Oh to find the book [for less than $40.00, which is the price of the last copy I saw]
