The ISOLATOR, invention from 1925

Sherlock wore one in the Elementary series

god I loved this show so much

He's clearly planning galactic conquest

Gonna tell my kids this was how we survived COVID.

I mean.... I wear constructing/shooting range earmuffs sometimes and I found that helps to concentrate, and also wearing them when sleeping produces a noticeably deeper rest. Great for noisy hotels. Not so sure about this system, though, unless maybe I had to nap on the street in a warzone or something.

What about some nice noise cancelling headset and some classic music very low volume?
- Sometimes I’d wear earbuds underneath the earmuffs. Other times I’d just prefer as close to silence as possible.
  I tried noise canceling headphones and couldn’t tell if they really helped. This was a while ago, like 2009, but I bought some decently high end Sony and I felt like they made my ears ring later on. It seemed better to wear earmuffs vs. some special high tech method. Plus one thing I was mitigating was the meows of a huge cat I had who meowed REALLY loudly, and that’s the sort of thing noise canceling doesn’t reduce.

Hugo Gernsbeck was way ahead of his time.

Predicted fax machines, cell phones, and information exchange systems. IIRC. Check out his novel Ralph124c41.

Not the greatest writer, his characters were very one dimensional. However, the ideas were incredible.

The Hugo awards are named after him.

A HEAD, I see what you did there...

Big mood

Is it me or does that air tank look pasted over and the breathing tube too short for practical use? (turning his head left would drag down the tube on top of everything)
