I think you just went to the heart of the difficulty with this claim. If the output is potentially 30 times the input and if they recommend throttling back to an output of only 8 times the input in production versions, then obviously you should be able to connect part of the output to the input and the device should run with no external energy input. The fact they don't do this screams SCAM!
