Want respect, not mention tons of fame and fortune? Close the loop and make them self running except for (rare) refueling. You'd be the first. That's for sure.
With a small thermal excess power it's not trivial to close the loop in my opinion. It would be better to work on accurate (but not overly complex) calorimetry and to find clear evidence that nuclear reactions are occurring.
