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.

First Claim:
Show all 30 claims
I claim:
1. A method to transmit and receive electromagnetic waves comprising:
generating opposing magnetic fields each having a plane of maximum force
running perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the respective magnetic field;
generating heat from 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 electromagnetic injection point; and
generating a communication signal into the electromagnetic injection point,
thereby sending and receiving the communication signal at a speed faster
than a known speed of light.

US Patent Office appears to trash laws of physics
Thanks to a reader who has pointed us to a US patent which describes a device
which can perform faster than the speed of light.
He suggests that it is lucky that the US Patent Office pays for itself, otherwise US
taxpayers might want to know why the organisation is hiring people who haven't got
even the slightest clue about modern physics.
And he also suggests a new column for The Register, called BPEFH -- the bastard
patent examiner from hell.
Here's the patent in question, titled Hyper Light Speed Antenna.
But, a doctor who knows what he's talking about, writes, this is not as daft as it first
appears. He said: "Although it is not possible for a physical object to travel faster than
light, E=mc^2 etc, it is possible for a signal, which is the case in this instance, to be
transmitted faster than the speed of light. I believe it's all down to things refered to as
phase and group velocities of the electromagnetic wave. I could point you in the
direction of a pile of physics texts on electromagnetic waves that would bore the
knackers off you, but I don't think that that's what you want. I would send you the
references of some papers on the subject, but I don't have any to hand."
One reader pointed us, rather helpfully, to the background information on the patent,
which makes for astonishing reading and points to...a new dimension "All known radio
transmissions use known models of time and space dimensions for sending the RF
signal. 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. 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." Wow.
So there you go. Another reader says that a thread about this particular patent is
growing like topsy on Usenet forum sci.electronics.design, and quips that if this
technology works, he may be able to receive data before it's even been sent... ©
