The best form are those which are basically transformers and demonstrated by people who don't know how to use ammeters and voltmeters.

There are an entire class of 'free energy machines' that depend on poor measurement techniques. You can spot them because they rely on pulsed power with sort of raggedy pulse generators that don't produce predictable results, so it's not like you can capture and analyze a representative pulse from input to output. In addition, the 'discoverer' will typically use an RMS measurement tool that can't deal with pulses, especially non-uniform ones, and deliver a meaningless but exciting measurement that PROVES!!11!! that their circuit is creating free energy. Bearden likes that one.
In addition, most of them require some sort of non-linear load, when coupled with pulsed power, it enables thehucksterresearcher to show nearly any result you'd like from the instrumentation. When asked why they don't just skip the nearly impossible job of analyzing every pulse individually and go for a calorimetric approach, they'll say 'it generates cold energy'.
