If man can pump water uphill at no cost is that not overunity?

I don´t think so. Just very efficient capilliary action. The article states:
Quotemolecular attractions and evaporation combine to move a liquid against gravity
So it sounds exactly the same as water wicking up a string, just faster. You still need to mantain a potential by having the top dry out though otherwise it will just saturate and stop wicking up.

If we equip the dried up African riverbeds with this, can the rivers bring water from the sea to the Sahara?
What exactly is the technology they are going to disclose? I can't seem to find anything besides that non working video they have up their.

The water would be salty; no good for irrigation. Might as well leave it where it is.
BTW, speaking of pumping water, there were several U.S. patents issued that dealt with flash decompressing water to steam(boiling it in the process), using the steam to generate power, cooling the water to condense it as desalinated water, and finally using part of the power to run the system, thus demonstrating OU.
I live in California now, so this isn't insignificant. Why didn't the politicians think of this 10-20 years ago? >:( ??? ::) :P :-X

At the beach, water would obviously need to be de-salted. Lots of technology ideas present for that.
Until this pans out, I'll look for waterpumps using lots of free energy. All you really need is overcome height, distance you get for free. Water finds its way.
Infringer, free energy is already proven via the conversion of vacuum energy fluctuations into mechanical energy. Please check the thread in the News section and my comments.
While the energy is free there remains technical issues regarding a rotor with fixed axis bearings inside a vacuum chamber. Perhaps the issue might not exist if the chamber had no metal walls. Alternatively, a self-adjusting x-y plane on bearings might be the answer. I'll have to perform some experiments and see.
It appears there will be a presentation regarding vacuum energy devices next month:

As for free energy based on capillary action of water:

I bought the kit last month but the paper I used for the reaction strips (that cause the gravity imbalance of the rotor) don't work so well and so the rotor doesn't turn fast.
