The invisibility bubble

I was thinking about visibility in general and then out of nowhere came the idea of an "invisbility bubble". Clearly this is something an inventor ought to sink his teeth into. But... to mix it up a bit I have let the Professor be much younger when this episode takes place. And it rhymes too!
