   You wanna nit-pick.  OK, bring it.   
   We have a vaguely described setup.   
   We have vaguely described numbers from the utility bill.   
   The "experiment" is undocumented and uncontrolled.   
      
   And the result is that it transcends conservation of energy.   
      
   That's a "result" worthy of a Nobel Prize, patents worth zillions   
   of  and at least 70 virgins.   
      
   Yet "endless questions" go unanswered.   
      
   You turn off everything in the house except the pool pump.   
   You watch the dial on the utility meter go around to calculate   
   power consumed.   
      
   You hook a hot-plate to the generator output and see how long   
   it takes to boil away a pint of water.  A little math later   
   and you've real data that's easy to replicate experimentally for   
   your Nobel Prize submission.   
      
   You drive your water-powered-car down to the patent office   
   and file a patent.   
      
   The pool filter industry would explode overnight, so you'd want   
   to buy a lot of stock first.   
      
   It's not rocket surgery.   
   It's merely a new branch of physics.   
   Let's do this!!   
   I'll bring the hot-plate and the stopwatch and the patent   
   application and the 70 virgins.  He's already got the water.
