Well then rather than acting as the almighty arbitor of what is true (OU) and what is not, such labs (there could be any number of them) could simply provide an uncommitted reference evaluation of your experiment's input and output energies. Measured joules in, measured joules out, surely there could be no objections to labs performing such a mundane task!
Wouldn't people with a working OU device, or just a particularly efficient energy conversion device (e.g. a 40% efficiency solar cell), rush in to get recognition? The question of who pays remains open, and can be quite tricky. Would such labs help?
