Generally, one cannot patent a mere concept or idea. The concept must be developed to the point of reduction to practice, where it is or can be put into tangible form and capable of doing some good, that is, to have utility. Often, it is useful to actually reduce the invention to practice, that is, to make or build the invention and try it out (in secret, of course). It doesn't have to work perfectly, but it should work well enough to show that it can work well enough to serve its intended purpose.
