What would you suggest ?

1) Brownian motion : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brownian_motion
2) Casimir effect : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casimir_effect
3) Evaporation of water under low pressure, in dry air.

I am confused by the title of this thread.  It started March 28,2007 with only 1,000 euros and did not reach $5,000 (in unsecured pledges) until September 3, 2007.  Where is the $5,000 that is referenced in the subject - and what are the requirements to win it?

Having spent at least 40 years researching, conceiving ideas, buying materials that have gone largely unused because I usually spot the flaw in my concepts before the orders arrive and suffering the (not wholly undue) skepticisms of family and friends, I too believe that the prize offered is too small to justify the requirement of placing the work into public domain.

I am thinking about it though because there is another likely reward that has not been brought up in this thread.  It seems to me that the (hopefully properly attributed) person, or team, that makes the breakthrough should be pretty much guaranteed a Nobel Peace prize that is nearly  $1,000,000 these days.

Hoping to be in the hunt when my new materials arrive - should know in about three weeks.

    You have raised some good points there. I'.m still waiting for a set protocol, seems to change every couple of days. One thing to keep in mind though, if you are in a country like the U.S. , be very careful what you do with anything. There IS such  a thing as the Invention Secrecy Act (1951), a black hole that has swallowed up at least one invention  that I know of.

I have been watching and waiting for overunity to appear for years.
 That said, allow me to play devil's advocate.
 Imagine a world in which anyone in the most severely depressed countries can have unlimited energy from a cheaply made device. Irrigating the desert and purifying water can be done easily. This would allow a population explosion unparalleled in history. Consider the implications of this.
 Population control would prevent this, but who does that?

I have the winning invention. How does this work and how do I get to keep it a secret or not have it taken away and used with out getting the royalty's?
 I have two and they will blow your mind. One is a self energizing battery that does not require any out side source to energize its self. The other is a magnetic generator that will need only need the self generating battery to start it. Therefore making it a completely self efficient power source that could be used to power anything.

 I have been trying to get funding for a Proto type but I cant seam to get anyone interested. Maybe you all can help me with someone who will.
