If it's real, then closing the loop should be easy. If it's an artifact
which misleads FE-enthusiasts, then closing the loop will be impossible.
But there is the tantalizing middle. They find that they "almost"
close the loop. So they think that they are actually over unity, but
with losses that maybe with better engineering they can fix. All it
takes is more money.
But this is the real and present tipoff: their development of
extremely low-friction bearings. That is an abandonment of over-unity
and indicates a desire to become ever more and more sensitive,
allowing more spectacular demonstrations where a tiny effect is accumulated.
But given so much energy being dumped into heat, in the end, it only
takes a tiny, tiny fraction of that to be coupled into rotor motion
instead, very difficult to detect, if you have a very low-friction
rotor which won't lose heat there. So much, though, for actually
generating power, which will immediately dump much rotor energy into
heat again.
Calorimetry would show the overall problem, but, of course, doing
really accurate calorimetry is difficult. Much easier to make a roter
spin fast and claim that the energy for that is free, that the
battery is only generating heat, that none of this cycling of the
magnetic field is accelerating the rotor.
Though it obviously is. They claim there is no energy going there,
but that hasn't actually been shown except by a gross and coarse
display that would completely miss the tiny amount of energy
expenditure necessary to make that rotor accumulate angular momentum.
