Patent Granted for Anti-Gravity Device
The U.S. patent office has reportedly granted a patent for an anti-gravity device — breaking its rule to reject inventions that defy the laws of physics.
The journal Nature said patent 6,960,975 was granted Nov. 1 to Boris Volfson of Huntington, Ind., for a space vehicle propelled by a superconducting shield that alters the curvature of space-time outside the craft in a way that counteracts gravity.
One of the main theoretical arguments against anti-gravity is that it implies the availability of unlimited energy.
‘If you design an anti-gravity machine, you`ve got a perpetual-motion machine,’ Robert Park of the American Physical Society told Nature.
Park said the action shows patent examiners are being duped by false science.
He certainly should be able to find investors in Kansas.
I think he’s creating credentials to run for election to the Kansas school board. He clearly has shown the kind of keen scientific reasoning required for that position.
I should patent a device that allows you to travel through time, cure cancer, and save fifteen percent on your car insurance. If the patent office is going to patent nonsense, we should all make sure we get a cut of the action.
‘If you design an anti-gravity machine, you`ve got a perpetual-motion machine,’ Robert Park of the American Physical Society told Nature.
The above statement isn’t strictly correct.
Lifting something leads to an amount of potential energy in the lifted object which is proportional to the strength of the gravitational pull and the height by which the object is lifted. If your anti-gravity device takes less energy to do the lifting than you get back in potential energy then you have a perpetual-motion machine. If your anti-gravity device takes more energy to do the lifting, ie. to maintain the effect of some anti-gravity field, you don’t have a perpetual energy machine and you aren’t breaking any physical laws.
So for the above invention you need to know about the energy required to maintain the “super-conducting shield” to decide whether you have a potentially law breaking device.
What’s next, Paramount studios applying for patents on warp engines and matter transporters. I’m sure someone has submitted patent applications for them.
I found a new business idea. I could actually make a six figure income by literally doing nothing, but doing it on the internet. I’m going to be rich doing nothing. I’ll have to start a blog to share the wealth of information.
That`s what I do Ether working by anti G
Let us see,…
They claimed Galileo was wrong, and Darwin, and Einstein, and so many others I couldn’t count them all. I think someone even once suggested Bill Gates might be wrong, his name was something like Steven Jobes, or Jobs, well something like that. Gee, in the late 19th century, some guy named Fahrenheit, at the time the head of the British Natural Science Society, claimed that everything had already been discovered or invented.
I think I’ll wait a little while longer until this invention either proofs out or is proved wrong. Because it it does turn out he is on to something, you guys trying to patent those warp speed drives might be sorry it took you so long to get to the Patent Office.
The guy’ll get rich in… what… 500 years?
How long does a patent last for these days? 17 years?
It only makes sense to file for a patent when you are close to getting it working, and all you need is money to build it. If it takes 17 years to iron out the kinks, you’ve lost your monopoly.
I had a very serious discussion in a Berkeley bar with my friend’s roommate who is a physics PhD on fellowship. He has these new ideas about how to increase the efficiency of a Tokamak to make fusion power a real possibility. The question is, how does he get anyone to listen/understand, and when does he file the patent? Does publishing in a peer reviewed journal help secure your “prior work”? He is working on it (paper,patent?) now, but he may be jumping the gun.
On the other hand, if you create a lovable animated mouse and a billion dollar enterprise around him, you can get your trademark extended by Congress ad infinitum.
Thank you Pat!
It is unfortunate that so many critics don’t bother to read my patent. It is accessible from the US Patent Office site http://www.USPTO.gov, or from my site http://www.BorisVolfson.com.
As to the implementation within 17 years: It all depends on the energy requirements or whether you believe Dr. Ning Li or Dr. Podkletnov. In my patent, I took the Skeggs’ position which is on the lower end. But even then, the energy requirement is high and the required investment is in the $billions.
Little known fake fact: Rove renamed gravity as the Heaviness Tax, so Bush could repeal it, enabling Antigravity devices.
Then shortly after intelligent design wins in Kansas, and the repeal of the heaviness tax focuses national attention on antigravity instead of war dead, someone told Bush that a Perpetual motion machine is actually a free energy machine which would solve our future energy crisis (What crisis? My friends in the Oil companies are doing well, right?) So he starts a $500B program to develop free energy machines, a boon to the DOE labs. When science staffers complain about whats impossible under the second law of Thermodynamics, Rove pointed out that nobody cares about old news, and We make the laws. Meanwhile 34 Republican governors come out for the big energy project as a boon to high-tech in their states, and congress passes it…
IMO, things that should not be allowed to be patented are:
1. User interfaces.
2. Theoretical devices or processes.
Boris maybe we can help each other, i have some plans that i worked on a few months back, it seems we have very similar ideas and id be happy to send you my data.
I know your idea works as mine does, its just gettin people to understand and build 🙂
I call my device the Helio electron compositron machine
its made up of chemicals{ He2+} superconducted and high spectrum elecro magnets
i havnt got round to power source yet but i do know theres a guy workin in the U.S whos established a device that yields a greater energy than it consumes, his name iam unsure il have to research it again as my pc was hacked un ive lost a lot of data.
I have your email url here soon before i move address.
yours truly willytooshoes
Maybe the idea will work, maybe it won’t, time and testing will show.
My only question is why someone always finds it neccesary to blame Republicans for all the problems in the world.
Get a life professor al…
