Ultimately, we conclude that other embodiments beyond those provided in the Specification can be made without difficulty, and given the practical limits on engine structure as noted by Appellant, one of ordinary skill in the art could make and use the claimed invention without undue experimentation. See In re Fisher, 427 F.2d 833, 839 (CCPA 1970) ("In cases involving predictable factors, such as mechanical or electrical elements, a single embodiment provides broad enablement in the sense that, once imagined, other embodiments can be made without difficulty and their performance characteristics predicted by resort to known scientific laws.")

The scope of the claims must not be broader than the scope of the enabling description in the specification. See Nat’l Recovery Tech., Inc. v. Magnetic Separation Systems, Inc., 166 F.3d 1190, 1196 (Fed. Cir. 1999). “The scope of enablement, in turn, is that which is disclosed in the specification plus the scope of what would be known to one of ordinary skill in the art without undue experimentation.” Id. (citation omitted). ...

Arts based on chemical reactions may be unpredictable. In re Fisher, 427 F.2d 833, 839 (C.C.P.A. 1970). “In cases involving unpredictable factors, such as most chemical reactions and physiological activity, the scope of enablement obviously varies inversely with the degree of unpredictability of the factors involved.” Id.
