people will claim all kinds of crazy, implausible shit in patents. you would go insane trying to draw conclusions from the set of applications sent to patent offices as a whole, it would be impossible to differentiate what is legitimately worth paying attention to.

  I hate that the patent system went from engineers patenting a working, proven idea to business a-holes patenting an "idea" then sitting on their butts waiting for an engineer somewhere to prove the idea so that they can raise their hand and say "I have the patent on that". The modern patent system is despicable.

    There are actually provisions that are supposed to prevent that. It's called the enablement requirement. You cannot claim an invention that you don't know how to make. But in practice, it turns out to be easy to argue around that; there are so many non-experts involved in the process. So here we are.

Imagine if human progress had taken a wrong turn in 2020 all becomes of a typo

Off-topic but I'd have expected someone to spell-check a patent title. Mehtod seems like a misspelling?

  Spelling doesn't impact the legal weight of a patent, but can help prevent people searching for them. You'd think to put your deliberate typos in the word 'supercobductor' though...

      It's a device you use on each end of a corn pipeline.

Search on that site for "room-temperature superconductor," and you'll see why it never gained attention.

  Just learned about that the hard way myself, haha. Some guy got a little traction on Twitter briefly for his room temperature superconductor patent a couple days ago, but when you click his name he's just some crypto nutjob with no science background
