Nick,
Here is my best recommendation for the purpose of demonstrating putative
overunity, COP near 2, especially if you have a MPSA06 handy.
Go to this page:

Second one down. This is an older circuit which has been replicated
several times IIRC, and even though it is not the best circuit for
maximum gain in lighting - it does have the distinct advantage of
showing more power, when measured in the secondary loop, than the P-in
from a DC source into the primary loop. This gain of ~2 does NOT include
the photon emission.
Do you have an issue of accuracy (meaningfulness) in comparing P-in from
a battery -- to the power which is actually measured in the load-legs,
to come up with that OU claim? My guess is that Keith will, but I want
to argue the case if so.
Otherwise, if you agree the comparison is meaningful but then find some
error in the measurement, we can take it from there, to sort out the
problem.
The second schematic is entitled "Stiffler Driver/ Amplifier"
Since you already have two AV loops this should not be a problem.
In this circuit - what I have been referring to, in previous posts, as
the "open" wire is the unconnected end of the 9 turn primary. It just
sits there radiates, but it is a curious kind of RF since it is confined
to a spatial region (what he calls the SEC active zone of about a cubic
meter)
I have had better luck with a variation of this circuit that does not
need a variable inductor or the beads, which I hope to post soon.
