One simple sign that possibly proves over unity.

Not necessarily.
If an engine is running cold, it might be OU; certainly it recommends itself for further investigation. But, generally speaking, an OU machine wouldn?t have to run cold to be OU. Let?s take an example: assume that wind is our OU motive force. A wind mill doesn?t have to run cold. On contrary, the generator, gear box and blades etc. always heat up. Yet, for a living creature that does not sense the wind, it would be OU.

I guess you assumed a thermodynamic engine. Yes, a thermodynamic OU engine would always have to cool down while running. But this would also violate the existing laws and I am not aware of such machine up to date, despite all countless attempts that have been made...

If the idea is to make a motor that runs constant, not depending on the unstable wind, you have to deal with thermodynamics. Some how invert thermodynamics, I don't know. Anyway, this type of OU motor, I believe will get freezing cold when not loaded.
