Sure, experimental evidence is needed, a patent doesn't prove that something works.
Proof of principle experiment design must be as simple as possible and based on sound principles, it can be discussed here, other than that the actual experiment can be conducted in one's kitchen I guess. The highly OU commercial ambient air energy pumping devices I was talking about are those residential heating heat pumps we have been discussing in the 'loop closed' thread, they commonly reach COPs of 4 (1000W out for 250W in, the excess coming from ambient air).
