Ref: Various on Dwarf Eyes and other senses

Just an idea on the comment that dwarf eyes are metal disks...

Dwarf eyes are small dish antennae.

Size is about 3 cm, which gives an approximate wavelength of 3 cm. Thus frequency = 10^10 Hz = 10 GHz. This is SHF and right in the middle of the X band radar range. Thus dwarves use radar to see... Don't you just love it, our military have just begun to use what those pesky dwarfs have been doing for ages. Obviously the beard is used for longer wavelengths (30cm) --> UHF (L Band).

I wonder what they use for millimetric (highly accurate) radar. The antenna would be arround 3 mm (maybe fingernails, teeth or facets of their eyes)?

I still that there is a lot more fun to be had with dwarves...
