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 ?

Check this out:

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.

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. Towards the end of the first lecture for the Qiskit Global Summer School 2025, Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, Olivia Lanes (Global Lead, Content and Education IBM) stated...

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
