Just wait: I made a 24V battery pack so I could walk around downtown with the thermal camera hooked to my laptop.

thanks, you're a really cool guy by the way. i feel like a kid again watching you mess around with science.

> there's no way that camera is worth that much.
It's because only one or two USA companies are making them, and it's illegal to ship them to outside the US. These could be 100x cheaper, but we don't get the low chip price that comes from extensive mass production in Asia.

> Can you see the hot raising air that birds are using for soaring???
Nope. Thermal cameras can only see IR light from hot gas of hundreds of deg C. They can see IR light from solids and liquids of less than one deg C. Density makes the difference, and the same thing is true for visible light: incandescent gas glows dimly, while incandescent metal at the same temperature is blinding bright.
