In perhaps what may be the most bizarre individual to grace the floors of the UK patents office, we are presented with inventor Arthur Paul Pedrick who some have dubbed the “King Of Wacky Patents”.
Being himself a former patent examiner stationed in the UK office, Pedrick viled a vast and somewhat absurd list of patents, some of which went against many of the most basic properties and laws of physics.
In what could be called a stroke of madness, or a night of heavy drinking, he proposed a means of solving famine by piping snowballs from lmfao, Antarctica, to irrigate the deserts of Australia and another hare-brained scheme, sorry patent, involved piping fresh water from the Amazon to the Sahara.
This guy sounds more like Wiley Coyote than an inventor.
But hold up fam, coz this homie gets cray-cray.
Almost as if to out-do his own madness he tried to patent a gold ball with flaps to aid it aerodynamically. Not long after he tried ( and failed thank the lord) to patent a gold ball which if lost could be found using a Geiger counter, because it would be filled with radiation. A Radioactive Golf Ball.
He wasn’t done yet, during the Cold War he proposed to place nuclear warheads in geo-stationary orbits over Washington, Moscow & Peking as a lol, deterrent to war.
Necromancer owt.
