There was a recent HN submission about Vacuum airships: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_airship

    His patent application was eventually denied on the basis that it was "wholly
    theoretical, everything being based upon calculation and nothing upon trial or
    demonstration."
That patent denial was back in 1891. The "Good Old Days" for patents, from a modern tech users point of view. :)
