Klingon's stole U of Texas cloaking device, owes centuries worth of royalties!!

I'm still dinking around Dvice.com's web site. I found this Klingon predecessor to their cloaking device...and incredible video. 

We write a lot about invisibility cloaks 'round these parts. Ever wanted to see one in action? Well, here's your chance, courtesy the researchers over at the University of Texas at Dallas.

In trying to wrap your head around how this works, think about a mirage. The sheet you see up there is made up of carbon nanotubes submerged in water. The array of molecule-thick tubes heat up quick, and a bunch of them can transfer said heat across a surface fast. That's important, because heat is a key component in creating a mirage, or more specifically a photothermal deflection, which is what you're seeing here.
