Which is why if you close the loop and have the device power itself without stopping you will never have issues with "accuracy" error.

True.
This is exactly what I have been suggesting above.

I expect to see a significant increase in running time of the DC Motor when Thane's coils are engaged because they SHOULD be able to charge back the main source of energy - the car battery or a computer UPS...

However, I do not expect overunity. The device will come to a stop at some point due to heat energy loss.

Still, if Thane is only able to increase the run time by 10% it will equal to a tremendous achievement....
20% increase in the run time when on battery would be as big as the electric motor invention itself...
Anything more than 20% will qualify Thane for a Nobel Prize in Physics...

For example...
Lets suppose that Thane connects a fully charged car battery to his DC Motor. It runs for 20 minutes at 2000 RPM and it comes to a stop.

Then Thane connects a fully charged car battery to his DC Motor and engages his coil setup than negates the Lenz Law. Coils are able to recharge the battery.
If the run time of such a setup is 22 minutes before it comes to a stop gives Thane a 10% increase in the energy efficiency vs. the baseline.

If the run time of such a setup is 24 minutes before it comes to a stop gives Thane a 20% increase in the energy efficiency vs. the baseline.

Very easy,no arguing about the precision, and it is also an effecitve presentation tool for the "business people" investors who do not really care about the Lenz Law or the Electrical Engineering Aspects of the device...
Kind of a "black box" testing...

YOU GUYS ARE ALL MAKING VALID SUGGESTIONS BUT YOU ARE A BIT AHEAD OF US SINCE WE ARE STILL OPTIMIZING THE DESIGNS AND YES THE VIDEOS ARE NOT IDEAL AND ARE NOT MEANT TO BE - THEY ARE MEANT TO SHOW THE EVOLUTION.

HOPEFULLY BY NEXT WEEK I WILL BE ABLE TO PRESENT ADLEP'S SUGGESTION IN A VIDEO WITH A BATTERY - IT WON'T BE OU BUT A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

CHEERS
Thane

I don't think that people are expecting OU Thane.
At this point even a 1% increase in running time/efficiency typically equals to a multimillion dollars R&D effort, so if you can achieve that without having access to such funds/resources it will be an awesome achievement... 
Personally 1% increase in running time is all I am looking for.

And now....
Something slightly OFF topic, but still interesting...
A person have managed to convert his truck to run on hho:

If it is so easy to install AND it doubles the MPG how come it is not widely known and used around the world?

Where did everybody go???
