They Invented What? (No. 55)
U.S. Pat. No. 6,025,810: Hyper-light-speed antenna.
JW Note: Thanks again to Michael Barclay at WSGR for bringing this one to our attention.
Background:
All known radio transmissions use known models of time and space dimensions for sending the RF signal.

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 energy of the RF transmissions.
The following describes, in simple terms, what the present invention actually does. 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…
