Well, if I created a device that could create energy out of nothing, then I would be very very scared. Because, if anyone else with any contacts whatsoever caught wind of this, they would send the nearest 10 commandos that they could hire to my house in order to kill me and steal my invention. Businesses, the government, foreign countries and their governments, organized crime groups, terrorists, everyone would be after me. And what's more, if most of them thought about it for a second before they ordered some sort of action, they would probably order my capture so that they could torture any information or secrets out of me. I would most likely just anonymously approach some business or the government with my invention, provide some sort of proof that this invention does indeed work and is not a hoax, and then order in insane amount of cash (for me) to be transferred to several electronic bank accounts in very well established banks (probably something like 5 or 10 bank accounts with 1 billion in each). Then, I would have them give me the access information, log into the account and verify that I could move the money around (i.e. wire a donation to some random charity that would allow you to wire directly to their bank account). Then, I would go through each bank account and change all of the access information so that (supposedly) no one else would have access anymore. Then, the morning of one day (approximately 10 or 15 minutes prior to the time that each bank sends out its wires), I would release the information of where they could find the device(s) and other appropriate information (probably in some storage shed or what not in some really far out place) and order wires to send the money out of the current accounts to my own personal bank accounts (with fake {or at least vacant} contact/location information, but real names, ID numbers, etc) and hopefully be scot free.
Although, I would probably also take a lot of my own money out in cash prior to, and wander around the country anonymously for several weeks to let things cool down. As well, I might somehow get the press involved so that any evidence of foul play would be captured.
Also, all of the computer activity would be done anonymously through various proxy and relay methods so that they couldn't trace it back to my computer terminal.
Also, if I could, I would create several copies of the device and/or the plans and information for safe keeping. And, I would file a patent before all of this happened but not before that patent office actually had enough time to look at the patent application yet. That way, the information couldn't be traced back to me, but my filing date would be prior to anyone else's filing date that might come across the device later on.
I would probably also release white papers and articles/information to many sources later on that same day of the transfer, or at perhaps the following day.
