Hello and welcome to another T-Rex talk. My name is Isaac Botkin, and this is another one of our

0:06.6

audio-only episodes, although I probably shouldn't call them that. That sounds like you're missing out on

0:11.5

something. You're missing out on video, but what you're actually getting is a podcast exclusive.

0:18.4

You're getting an exclusive episode. That makes it sound like you're getting

0:21.4

something extra. So much better marketing. In this episode, I want to talk about how Night Vision

0:26.7

is made for a couple reasons. The first is that when I asked you guys for suggestions on different

0:33.0

stuff that you would like me to cover, that was one of the things that multiple people asked for.

0:38.1

The other reason is I've been too busy to really think about this podcast until now,

0:43.3

which I'm not going to tell you when now is,

0:45.4

but it is remarkably close to the Monday launch date of this particular podcast.

1:05.2

And a good topic for last minute is how Night Vision is made, because I'm basically just

1:09.8

going to borrow somebody else's

1:11.6

research. I'm going to borrow the research of David Kitson, who is an independent night vision

1:16.3

researcher who has studied this process of manufacturing night vision in way greater depth than I

1:23.3

have. And on that note, I want to recommend a couple of resources for learning about night vision

1:28.6

stuff. Now, if you're listening to this podcast, you're obviously aware of T-Rex arms, so you already

1:34.1

know Lucas Botkin. You already know that Lucas Botkin is a great proponent of night vision,

1:40.3

and he demonstrates the use of night vision for a whole bunch different stuff and

1:44.3

different types of night vision and IR lasers and flashlights.
