Summary

The application relates to a propulsion system alleged to work by the generation of magnetic energy through the transmission of microwaves through coils containing iron crystals and a honey- based substance. The HO held that the application did not disclose the invention in a manner which was clear enough and complete enough for it to be performed by a person skilled in the art and would contravene the law of conservation of energy. She therefore refused the application as not having industrial application and lacking sufficiency.
