   Rectify, filter, provide a resistive load.   
      
   Two multimeters. P=I*E, with sufficient   
   accuracy and precision to separate the   
   duds from the miracles.   
      
   Measure the power dissipated in the bridge   
   and the filter, to put your generator over the top,   
   in those rare instances where you only see   
   100 W out for 100 W in.
