I officially announce the Greenbits Over Unity Prize.

Come and get it... if you can

[zmoz]

I'll see that $10,000 and raise you $50,000. :-)

[JB]

Could I get your guys full names, social security numbers, and bank account numbers  to make sure the funds are there before I hand over the goods. Thanks  JB

Jacques, Jacques, Jacques. 'Tis, 'tis, 'tis.

I am now wondering what I can spend that $10,000 on, or is it $50,000?

# Your device may not contain an internal power source (see below why not)

# Your device must contain an external wheel where you give it it's initial bit of power (say a pulley) and where any excess power may be taken off

# Your device will work regardless of whether you are present or not

# Your device may be mechanical or electromechanical in nature (but not chemical, nuclear and so on, I'm not qualified to test anything like that)

# Your device must be transportable, in other words, you take it here, I won't come to you

# Your device must light one standard 60 Watt household bulb for 24 hours after the initial push to qualify

# Your device must work inside a cage of Faraday

# After completing this test your device will be inspected inside and out to avoid obvious fraud.

These are the conditions? You sure you want to bet on this?

Before I build my device can you describe to me the construction of the Faraday cage you will be using?

Oh by the way I ran out of paint. Now I am bored.

Call it $60,000. :-) If anyone wins his $10,000 prize, I'll give them an additional $50,000 provided they give me plans for the device.

[jacquesm]

you're on, do you want an 'official' mention on the prize page ?

[zmoz]

Sure...:-)

[Old F]

I will see that $60000 and raise you  one  case of  Old F power beans pat pending

Guaranteed to give you more bang for your buck than any OU device on the web  : )

[jacquesm]

ok, so you'll have to supply some contact info, zmoz somewhere is not good enough

Jacues your not the first person to offer such a prize, here is an example:

I think it is from 1996.  Unfortunately (probably because it is impossible at the present) I am not aware of anyone who has collected any of these prizes, or the Nobel prize they would surely win for demonstrating such a device.  I suspect that you and Zmoz will be keeping your prize money for a long time in the future.  I think if you can get a better interest rate on the 10 year CD than the 3 month CD you are safe to invest the prize money that way.  Rich Hagen
