So it was one hundred eight mirrors and eight ionization cells all along. No wonder mine didn't work.
All I had was a pair of "X-Ray Specs"

Reminds me of Dr. Evil's "la-ser" from the Austins Powers movies.

This is also the man who invented the Ursus Mark VI Bearproof Suit.

I vote scam.

This whole story just doesn't play right. Electronics that have been exposed to the Angel light just "quit working"? What about people? We are essentially electrical in a very real way: both your ability to think and your heart's ability to beat happen because of electrical impulses travelling over specialized nerve cells. If someone is on the other side of the wall, do they, too, "quit working?"

The ability to "see through walls" makes a good power for Superman but doesn't make much sense in the real world. Steel, wood, cloth, paper, and water can all be made into a "wall," and this thing can "see" through all of them?

This goes into my "extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof" category.

Indeed one has to wonder with all of the photos why is there none of the contraption actually working?

I agree with Amar that it would be cool if it were true, but it does smell like a scam.

Did you notice the robot suit on the right?
"Danger, Will Robinson!"

I've got an invention that will really rock the world. If I can find a place to host the image I will reveal it HERE!

I believe that is the aforementioned "Ursus Mark VI Bearproof Suit".

Which, while offering complete protection from bear attacks, did nothing to prevent the depredations of porcupines and beavers. The test subject was impaled on hundreds of quills and had his legs gnawed off at the knees in a matter of seconds. Ya gotta watch out fer them thar rodents...

Indeed, and the suit can be seen standing next to Angel Light, in one of the photos. It looks like some kind of retro-futuristic robot.

Spending a few minutes doing a Google search reveals a rumor that there is to be some sort of "public" demonstration of the device tomorrow. The search also revealed the majority of folks think the Angel Light thing is total BS.
