That's an interesting question.why are free energy devices for free electric and antigravity banned for patents being granted?
I was going to answer with scientific reasoning (symetry SU3 > conservation of energy > second law of thermodynamics) but figured that AI would do a far better job at explaining, so I asked ChatGPT and here is your answer:
Reasoned about free energy and patents for 8 seconds
The main reason is that these types of devices often violate well-established physical laws. In practice, patent offices don’t “ban” ideas like free energy or antigravity outright, but they require that an invention be clearly described, operable, and based on sound scientific principles.
Key Points:
- Scientific Plausibility:
Claims for free energy or antigravity devices generally contradict the laws of thermodynamics (like the conservation of energy) or other well-tested scientific principles. Patent examiners require credible evidence and a working model, which these inventions typically fail to provide. - Patent Examination Process:
When a patent application involves a device that appears to be a perpetual motion machine or violates basic physics, examiners will be highly skeptical. They ask for detailed proofs and demonstrable functionality. Without reproducible results or clear theoretical backing, these applications are rejected. - Legal and Technical Standards:
Patent offices have strict standards regarding novelty, utility, and non-obviousness. Even if an idea is novel, it must also be feasible and useful according to current scientific understanding. Claims that don’t meet these standards, even if they’re presented in a creative way, won’t be granted.
