Ultra-fast spinning drone creates motion blur invisibility
Researchers at Northwestern University built a drone that spins at high speed, rendering it nearly invisible due to motion blur. The 'Phantom Twist' drone uses rapid rotation to cloak itself, adding a blur effect to the real world. The prototype demonstrates a novel approach to drone stealth technology.
