Dude, don't you think you maybe have trolled 
enough? 
 
If you insist on continuing, could you up your 
game and make sense with some provable supportive 
urls?

Science can present you with THOUSANDS of examples of things that people knew 
*couldn't* work, and yet they did. 
 
It's rather harder to present you with ideas that people knew could work but 
didn't, but that's because those things rapidly get lost in time rather than 
become urban legends. 
 
I'm afraid there are far too many deluded people who are capable of sharing 
their delusions, for me to trust you like that. 
 
Anyways, patents are there to protect the hard work you put in *making* it work. 
Just because it CAN work, doesn't mean it's easy to make it work. Take viking 
steel, for example (or damascene, it's similar). We knew it COULD work because 
we had viking and damascene swords. But we couldn't make them! We didn't know 
HOW to make steel of that quality! 
 
Do you really think a patent on "making damascene steel" should be 
granted on the evidence of an old sword, and not on the evidence of a *newly* 
*made* sword?
