Getting accurate data is sometimes a tricky thing and many "free energy" projects were shot down when the measurement methods were examined closely. I remember one free energy system where even the National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) couldn't figure out how to accuratly measure the input and output power of the device to determine if it really used less energy than it generated (the difference between input and output was very very small and contained high-frequency spikes). So, even if it DID work, it couldn't be proved. I design the entire product line for a company that sells data logging devices and I've had to explain to them more than once the fine points that if ignored will make the pretty graphs worthless.
