James Hans McRoberts (Patent): IPO 25 Mar 2009

IPO The invention purported to generate power continuously from a system of containers that were alternately filled with water at the top of their travel and emptied at the bottom, the water being pumped back to the upper level. The hearing officer upheld the examiner’s objection that the invention operated in a manner contrary to well-established physical laws and was therefore neither capable of industrial application nor sufficiently disclosed.
