Yet another solid-state electrical generator patent

In summary, the conversation discusses a new solid-state electrical generator patent that claims to use quantum mechanics. The participants question the validity of the patent and whether it is just a junk theory. They share a link to the patent application and discuss the possibility of it being accepted by the patent office. The conversation also touches on the legal regulations of patenting and the requirement for an invention to be useful.

Guys,

I found another "interesting" artice on the web. It relates to a new solid-state electrical generator patent. This device has something to do with quantum mechanics as it is described by the author and I want you to comment it a bit.

The question is: Can this be real or it is just junk theory ?

Thanks,

Please note that it is the patent APPLICATION that was published. The petent is pending and it is NOT yet accepted. If the patent office wants to be the subject of ridicule by Bob Park again, they'll accept this.

We do not condone free advertisement for crackpottery like this, especially when this is still in the application stage. If and when they get a patent, then there's at least something that we (or I) can do to alert some sleepy heads at the Patent Office on what they let through.

That's more of a legal issue than anything else. Just because it doesn't work doesn't mean you can't patent it.

Not according to Patent Office regulation.

Zapperz is quite right. An invention must be useful to be patentable. An 'invention' that does not work, is not useful.

1. What is a solid-state electrical generator?

A solid-state electrical generator is a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy without the use of moving parts. It uses solid-state materials, such as semiconductors, to generate electricity.

2. What is the purpose of this patent?

The purpose of this patent is to protect the intellectual property of the inventor and prevent others from using or selling their invention without permission. It also allows the inventor to profit from their invention and encourages innovation.

3. How does this solid-state electrical generator differ from traditional generators?

Unlike traditional generators, which use moving parts and mechanical energy to produce electricity, this solid-state generator uses solid-state materials to directly convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. This results in a more efficient and reliable generator with fewer maintenance requirements.

4. What are the potential applications of this solid-state electrical generator?

This generator can be used in a variety of applications, such as powering small electronic devices, providing backup power for homes and businesses, and even generating electricity from renewable energy sources like wind or water.

5. Is there any current research or development being done on this type of generator?

Yes, there is ongoing research and development in the field of solid-state generators as they have the potential to revolutionize the energy industry. Scientists are exploring ways to improve the efficiency and scalability of these generators for wider use in various applications.
