One of the things that continually amazes me is that people who believe in the paranormal think so small.
If you have a working perpetual motion device, you shouldn't be worrying about a million dollar prize. If it really works, show it, and in a few months you'll be deciding whether to take the straight swap - the patent rights for, say, Australia - or to go for 10% of the gross, which might only earn you a hundred billion dollars in the first year, but should ramp up fast.
If you can see inside people down to the molecular level and diagnose their illnesses, you could easily be charging a thousand dollars for a ten-minute consultation. Probably more.
If you can demonstrate that homeopathy works, well, the world pharmaceutical market is half a trillion a year, it's yours for the taking, and your costs are, basically, zero, so it's pure profit. What are you waiting for?
