cloaking device
Vanishing field generator
A cloaking device is a fictional technology that renders spacecraft or other objects invisible, most famously associated with Romulan and Klingon ships in Star Trek.
The term has spread to any imagined technology that conceals something from detection: The military is developing a cloaking device for stealth aircraft.
Figuratively, anything that hides true intentions or identity: His charm was a cloaking device for his ambition.
