You mean, like the my parents' invisibility cloaks? Or my great-grandfather's? 'Cause those are pretty different.

Or do you mean "average, everyday, run-of-the-mill invisibility cloaks"? The kind by the register at 7-11.

You really need to be more specific. ]]>May 22nd 2009 3:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/purdue-researchers-concoct-newfangled-invisibility-cloak-plan-w/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/purdue-researchers-concoct-newfangled-invisibility-cloak-plan-w/

They said it doesn't use exotic materials (2 layers of gold and microlens), but it isn't cloaking much....
