Patent announcement

Mr. Rat,
Old friend. I have respect for your opinion. If you can explain why these machines won’t work I will give up believing in them.

I told you why. It's not about believing, it's about proof that they work. There's no proof they do.

For me, there is no need to proof that a machine does not work. ... The burden of proof is on you! ...

@brian334
Unfortunately, conradelectro is most likely correct.  Now, there's something else:  I applied for a patent involving a regeraratively cooled spacecraft ion thruster that I improved (in my opinion) from a McDonnell Douglas design.  I didn't have a prototype.  That's for big commercial companies with enough R&D money; but I submitted the application anyway---and it was rejected---but the Patent Office considered it on its merits.

So, did you build a prototype that worked as you say it should?  Some of the other Members criticism might disappear if you did.




REEDIT:
There's even more:

Look at #2
An invention has to be different enough to be patentable and useful to someone as well.  Not necessarily work.  At least by this company's standards.

#8
Some of this company's patent aren't feasible, so they don't need to work.  Or at least be enough to have a patentable idea, but not have a constructable prototype.  Merely be new.  Nathan Stubblefield's invention was so far beyond the Examiner's intelligence, the guy wouldn't grant the patent unless it was modified in a prototype to be understood.  It doesn't have to work on that basis, I think.  The patent Examiner didn't understand it to recognize it would work, so it was unpatentable until he did understand.

Being able to demonstrate that you can do what you say you can, should make the idea more acceptable to those who use the idea.

#14
You don't need a prototype to prove your invention, but it helps a lot, as I said above.

If I had a working prototype I sure in the hell would not be talking to assholes like you.

You not only do not have a working prototype but you have nothing of the sorts you claim. Don't waste our time.
