   I've got the feeling (and my coleagues too) that it is relatively easy
   to obtain an US patent. They don't seem to check very much if it works,
   if it makes sense or if anything previous like this exists.

Why would you say that?  :-)

(Or check out the others in the "Gallery of Obscure Patents",

To their credit, I did a US patent search for perpetual motion
machines and didn't find any.  I'm guessing that's the Big Rule there;
"No perpetual motion machines; it'll make us look bad".
