Its interesting yet expected that I see so many people jump into the technical details.
I am trying to remember when a military has patented a technology that is a 100X or maybe 100,000X more advanced than exists today.
Patients I dont remember seeing;
- U2 spy plane
- SR71
- Manhattan Project
- ect. ect
It's just not how militaries work. And if this is the case, then why did they patient it?

Most such ideas and patents are around for a long time before they get anywhere near a patent. As far as I am aware, this kind of technology has been known about and developed for decades in secret. It is likely that even this is 'old' to the military now.
I don't know exactly why they patented it, but it could be because other inventors were also attempting to patent the concept.
