If you do not plan to patent the machine, then I must confess that I do not understand your motive for secrecy about what you are doing. Generally, the purpose of secrecy is to reserve an advantage for one self. There may be some exceptions to this, but they are rare, and I can only speculate which, if any, may apply to you.
I note that you have not explained your motives beyond some vague plan of "convincing the most skeptical person you can find" and then perhaps springing the discovery upon the world, becoming famous, etc, etc, etc. Like I said before, even if you DO have a working device, I think you will be exceedingly disapointed at the reaction of the world to your "revelation" of the "secret".
As for conspiracies, I am not convinced that they exist, but neither am I convinced that free energy or perpetual motion exists either. I most certainly am not convinced that YOU have discovered "the answer". I will concede that it may be possible, though, and I wish you luck if you are truely sincere in your efforts.

: Again, the conspiracy theories. Sorry, those are just more monsters under the bed. And your arguments are basically moot anyway as I do not plan to patent it :-)
