The Searl / Over-Unity Apex — Genuine Effect vs Sincere-Unreplicable vs Grift (Report #142, held at equipoise)

[Report #142] Does the Searl Effect (and the DePalma N-machine lineage) tap a real effect? Held at GENUINE equipoise — thin evidence in BOTH directions, NOT leaning null. THE DOCUMENTED ANOMALY (real, not nothing): Dr. Robert Kincheloe (Stanford EE professor emeritus, 1986) INDEPENDENTLY measured anomalously LOW drag (13-20% of expected) on DePalma's 'Sunburst' N-machine — a credentialed, documented anomaly mainstream physics has NOT conventionally explained (though too internally inefficient for closed-loop); plus Roschin-Godin's instrumented MEC data. THE NULL SIDE (weak): Verbelli's under-resourced small builds + the Morningstar box (7.3% transient) + Brandenburg (7%) — partial/null, but NO rigorous controlled experiment FALSIFIES the effect. THE CONFOUND (load-bearing): the replication void is driven by an a-priori 'pseudoscience' taboo + no funded retry (Roschin-Godin's own rebuild failed for funding) — i.e. The absence of replication is a SYMPTOM of the suppression / epistemic-capture structure the engine itself maps (invention_secrecy_act_1951 / the wall (the boundary the engine maps)), NOT evidence against the device. STANCES (equal burden): (1) genuine suppressed effect; (2) sincere-but-unreplicable real-but-unstable magnetic non-linearity over-interpreted; (3) grift (BOUNDED — the 50-yr no-unit + the electricity-theft conviction indicate over-promise, but ongoing materials work precludes 'conscious fraud'). KEY DISTINCTION: unlike the Giza-microwave thesis (mechanism falsified by thermodynamics), the SEG over-unity mechanism is UNPROVEN-but-NOT-disproven — no falsifying experiment exists. Extractability OPEN (the wall (the boundary the engine maps)). Apex held; dial NOT moved toward null; name no holder.
