Yet another solid-state electrical generator patent

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers around a new solid-state electrical generator patent application by Magnetic Power Inc., which incorporates elements of quantum mechanics. Participants express skepticism regarding the validity of the invention, questioning whether it is a legitimate technological advancement or merely a theoretical concept without practical application. The patent is currently pending, and there are concerns about the Patent Office potentially approving it despite its questionable utility. The consensus emphasizes that an invention must demonstrate usefulness to be patentable.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of solid-state electrical generators
  • Basic knowledge of quantum mechanics
  • Familiarity with patent application processes
  • Awareness of patentability criteria
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of quantum mechanics in energy generation
  • Explore the criteria for patentability in the United States
  • Investigate previous cases of controversial patents in energy technology
  • Learn about the role of the Patent Office in evaluating new inventions
USEFUL FOR

Inventors, patent attorneys, energy researchers, and anyone interested in the intersection of quantum mechanics and practical energy solutions will benefit from this discussion.

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 ?

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.
