Just wanted to say, that this says nothing, apart from that your
machine is different from all kind of machines patented before.
In general, patent offices don't care, whether a given thing
works.  They only care, that it is different to all other things,
which someone cared to patent before.

For example, the patent, which every LASER manufacturer had to
pay royalities to, was applied to, before the first LASER was set
to work.

Another example: people are patenting the human genes, without
even knowing, what those particular genes are for.
