Well, what I had in mind, as far as documenting its effectiveness, was to use a meter and base I have on hand with a couple of load types, and not to touch my house meter at all.
What I really want to do is disassemble it and see what's inside it. If there's any circuitry to speak of, I will attempt to trace it out and draw a schematic. I want to wee what makes it tick.
I guess it could be something as simple as a pair of power resistors that partially bypass some current past the meter. That would clearly be for theft of power, which I won't do.
I was just kidding about actually hooking it up to your house. You do however have a good plan and I would be glad to kick in $10.
I believe you'll probably find a few MOV's in the box and they will have some sort of rational for advertising their product.
