@ SL Congrats on the project completion !
The way I see it is, energy is "lost" to us in conversion processes.
Given the state of the art, a battery or capacitor will stay charged a long time and lose little to self consumption.
In an off-grid solar installation-
Taking PV-DC, making AC, then making DC again through a smps or similar will only ever be max ~90% efficient.
It's necessary for the convenience it affords, with the devices configured the way they are; but this is by no means ideal.
This is the means generally deployed, nonetheless.
The devices we all (generally) use are built in such a way that their power consumption can be accurately recorded and charged for.
This is intentional, a feature and not a flaw (for the designers and retailer, that is, IMO)

And what actually happens (as has been speculated) is that the battery provides a dissymmetry, into which pre existing energy flows in -
(and not necessarily from the battery, as is so deeply engrained in EE)
- Then it should be possible to use some clever mechanism to "trick" the circuit into powering itself
As I often analogize, if a given device is successfully looped, the glass (total energy in cycle) can't be perfectly full (COP>1)
(Try filling a drinking glass with a big bucket, bet some spills over)
This should apply "across the board" - energy is merely transmuted and distributed, seemingly neither produced nor eliminated for or from our reality.
Accessible, mechanical systems should be just as possible to loop with output as electrical systems, seeing as they are too, open systems.
Actually I'd say there's no such thing as a closed system, temporally speaking, or in terms of "cosmic rays" always being present.

In more basic considerations, I am of the opinion that anyone doing this work needs a private (and capacious) space in which to work
This is fundamental!
Also to consider fundamentally,
why they are doing what they are doing.
Consult either your peers, your inner critic, your higher self, or better still, all three, regardless of whether you think you need to.
Differing perspectives can be garnered.
Which, given sufficient juxtaposition and consideration, and time
Should yield ample orientation through the process of logical deduction, for those of us seeking answers which do not yet exist.
RE suggestions; I would propose building a small gravity motor. They are inexpensive and not enough examples exist in my searches.
Once a functioning,looped OU design is shared it can be simplified and built by anyone anywhere, cheaply.
Nothing anyone could do about it .. If a sizeable output was demo'd, it'd spread like wildfire.. Job done
The Skinner device is probably the most appealing mechanical OU design I have encountered.
Reading through my build bench and the other misc. thread, also the work of others on OU.com and YT,
Should give anyone a significant legup in getting started and save them many hours of component revisions.
Quantum Energy on YT is also building one of these devices, worth checking out. (Vid in my playlist)
