Hello Dave, >> >>Was not flight via an internal combustion engine pre-existing? > >No. As a matter of fact. The Wright brothers were the first EVER to fly a self >powered aircraft. Naturally, their aircraft used an internal combustion engine, >not a jet engine. > You missed my point entirely. The jet engine came AFTER the Wright flyer. Dr. Hyatt claimed you cannot patent something that is BASED ON something that already exists. The jet engine "is based on" the engine used to produce the first flight. >> > >No, Ed, microwave ovens do not work anything like conventional convection ovens.
