Spray-On Antenna: Spritz for Reception

If you’ve ever been stranded somewhere with zero reception, then you’re one of the millions who will appreciate the Spray-On Antenna system that Chamtech has developed.

You might have done a little double take because of how unreal it sounds: An antenna you can spray on?

But Chamtech’s co-founder Anthony Sutera claims it might just be the solution to everyone’s bad reception woes. In the video presentation about the product, he explained: “We have come up with a material that when you spray it on, it lays out just in the right pattern and all of these little capacitors charge and discharge extremely quickly in real time and they don’t create any heat.”

Sounds like some sort of miracle product, but does it work? One of the results from Chamtech’s tests revealed that an RFID chip with a 5-foot range was turned into an RFID chip with a 700-foot range. There are also reports that the United States government is also looking into this technology.

For something that sounds incredibly groundbreaking, one can only wonder what could be the possible side effects of such a substance. I know I am.

    Sutera forgot to mention the antenna stencil and matching circuit without which there will be no conversion from electromagnetic waves to electric current, i.e. Maxwells Equations. There is no such a thing as “antenna in a can” unless Sutera et al. proved that Maxwell is wrong!

    GOOGLE has to recognize that there is a difference between “Solving for X” and hyping a technology that just doesn’t work as stated.

    Crap crap crap…the label is photoshopped…notice how there is no link to any actual product…the dude in the still from the video looks like he knows what he is talking about…not. HOAX!

    Oh…BTW…what aircraft were you communicating with at over 73,000 feet (14 miles)? An SR-71 Blackbird? A U2? The Bell X1? YE-155? Gee, I didn’t know they still flew those…wait…they don’t except the MiG! You were talking to MiG’s? What are you…commie spies?
