Has anyone looked at this patent?

See http://l2.espacenet.com/espacenet/viewer?PN=WO0245210

for details.

It's basically a coil wrapped around a ferrite rod/tube
that sensitive to the magnetic part of the electromagnetic
field.

The author claims it can be built small, handle high
power, and is mostly omni-directional.

They also went to the trouble of patenting it
in Canada, number CA2427575, but I can find no US patent.



doesn't look like anything special, but then again you don't have to have
anything really special to get a patent... heck, the device doesn't even
have to work. someone has patented an antenna that sends signals faster
than light, if i remember right it was basically a halogen floodlight tube
with a coil around it and a bunch of other junk... as an additional claim
they claimed it helped plants grow, which is probably the only claim they
could prove if they were ever asked to.
