Navy Got 'UFO' Patent Granted by Warning of Simila...
No, you only need to describe the nature of your invention - you don't even need to claim that it works or you could get it implemented.

An awfully large number of patents wouldn't exist if there was a requirement to show a working example of each claim.
I would prefer such a requirement.

That might be ok for some patents that require simple examples, but for complex patents that a working model would cost millions... Good luck getting an investor without a patent.
