Now walls has eye too.


Transparent Concrete or Light Transmitting Concrete

In future, seeing through the walls may not need you some sort of superpower or supervision, because wall themselves do this for you.  I am sorry if this causing a bewliderment, lets introduce us with translucent walls, yes this is surely possible, the ideas was first poped out by canadian patent in 1935. 
The ablity of concrete that allow light to pass through,  is based on optical fibres. I won't go to deep science part of it nor i have the right credentials, but i can tell my readers about its working and some intresting application.

So how it works?

Transparent concrete is based on optical fiber, as optical fiber is structured to pass the natural or artificial light throught it, mixsing 5% of fiber with  normal sand, water and other concrete material, powers the concrete to pass some amount of light through it, while maintaing the same strength and durability. The light passes through transparent concrete may not of full intensity, but still it can give a outline or if the light is emmited from some person or thing behind the wall, sillhoutie could be seen easily.
