How do you make Money from an overunity device that can not be patented?

[Tommy]

Say that you have discovered a previously unknown property of a substance that allows you to prove overunity beyond any doubt. Repeatable and reproducible by anyone. You have used different materials, meters, gauges, and even multiple locations to rule out outside influences (I used to be a metrologist, I ran a materials testing lab, And process engineering for a major corp. trust me). Also assume that with such a breakthrough that you would like to become disgustingly wealthy. You are familiar with the laws of thermodynamics, but you also can see it with you own eyes and hold it in your hands. No input required. It just works. Linear or rotational and output is measured with "work"- force over distance.
Now you start researching patents and find out that you can't protect it. How do you make Billions from it? JREF has a million dollar prize. There are some X prizes and some oil guy. But how do you make real money with it? 
I would really like some ideas.

You can keep it for you self and make billions, and the world will continue getting worse and worse until we all die -     or somone make it available for everyone and get rid of the need to have money, money is depended on lack, free energy take away all lack. Then we can all consentrate on having fun in this universe

I mean come on wake up, look around, here is a whole reality around us, for us to discover!
We cant apply 20 sentry solutions in this times. Were we go now there is no room for lack.

Its time to co create.

The multi-level idea is good, but it wouldn't work. The whole weakest link thing. I'm sure that all the "give it away" and save "the children" people are too busy shipping food to comment more. I'm also sure they all work for free and are self sustaining to the point of not needing money anymore.( I am involved with Peacework Medical. check out their site.)
However, I still wish to be paid for my work. I also want to continue my work in other areas. So I am still asking for suggestions. Thank you for all the replies so far.

If you want to make money you need to sell something. 

Depending on the power levels you can either make and sell:
- a cell phone recharger
- a flashlight without batteries.

I don't think selling the electricity will do you any good as the only people who will buy it are utilities.  You are better of keeping to the consumer market.  If you can scale it up you could start to sell systems to power or heat/cool homes.

That is where I would try to take it.

Someguy's like money..................,someguy's come to places like an Open Source forum to "Help" change this world.

Do you go to Church and ask the Pastor how to Phornicate and not get caught??

The "catch" is "You can't get there from Here"!!
