buried in oil, perhaps on a raft as is presently done, or simply connected to
the underside of the little raft.
This is the only thing that will convince me that there is no ion-wind that can
create spurious results. Doing it in a "Vacuum does not prove anything since
the remaining molecules move more energetically.
If you take the time to read the pdf

you can see that he has gone to great lengths to prove that the energy
is not coming from a classical source. Not only repeating his experiment
in a vacuum chamber, but also calculating the energy balance and showing
that the amount of mechanical energy obtained cannot be explained by
classical electrical loss due to ion flow. He has done an experiment
where 150 nano watts of mechanical energy are obtained, consuming only 3
nano watts of electrical power.
