While American designer Adam Harvey theorized ways an anti-photography A-bomb could be designed, leave it to the Russkies to actually build it. Roman Abramovich; Russian investment banker, Chelsea Football Club owner and potential super-villain, has equipped his secret aquatic lair yacht with a laser aided anti-photo defense shield. Evidently his sci-fi privacy bubble is enabled by infrared lasers which lock onto the energy signature of the CCD in a digital camera and fire an interrupting bolt of light to negate the camera’s ability to record images. I for one want to see it work. I want to try to take a digital photo of his floating hidout yacht and see a blank image on my LCD in review and then I want to see the smug look on his face disappear when I pull out my Hasselblad 501cm which is completely invisible to his 21st century photo defense shield. Nice try Abramovich. If you need any convincing that Abramovich is anything but a James Bond Super Villain here’s a few more amenities that his yacht, The Eclipse, has included on it: two helipads, an aquarium (probably filled with sharks) and a two person escape submarine.
