» Obscure Patent of the Week - 6/29/03

Voted Obscure Patent of the Year for 2003

Hyper-light-speed antenna
US Patent No. 6,571,402 [ PDF ] [ HTML ]
Issued February 15, 2000

I probably should not write much here for fear that this is actually true, or someday will be true. I wouldn't want to go down in history like the folks who said the earth was flat or the various Patent Commissioners over the years who have claimed that everything worth inventing has already been invented. Nevertheless, let me at least express some skepticism. The Background of the Invention explains that the inventor has discovered a unique way to transmit energy. Rather than sending the energy through the normal space/time continuum, you simply poke a hole through to a new dimension and send the energy into said new dimension. The utility is that this will allow the energy, preferably electromagnetic waves, to travel substantially faster than the speed of light. Of course! How simple! Wasn't this discussed in Star Trek the Next Generation?

» Patent Abstract

"A method to transmit and receive electromagnetic waves which comprises generating opposing magnetic fields having a plane of maximum force running perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the magnetic field; generating a heat source along an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the magnetic field; generating an accelerator parallel to and in close proximity to the heat source, thereby creating an input and output port; and generating a communications signal into the input and output port, thereby sending the signal at a speed faster than light."


» Guts of the Invention

Here is what the Background of the Invention states, with emphasis added:

The present invention has discovered the apparent existence of a new dimension capable of acting as a medium for RE signals. Initial benefits of penetrating this new dimension include sending RF signals faster than the speed of light, extending the effective distance of RF transmitters at the same power radiated, penetrating known RF shielding devices, and accelerating plant growth exposed to the by-product energy of the RF transmissions.

The following describes, in simple terms, what the present invention actually does. The present invention takes a transmission of energy, and instead of sending it through normal time and space, it pokes a small hole into another dimension, thus, sending the energy through a place which allows transmission of energy to exceed the speed of light.
