That would convince me. The fact that it isn't done is telling.
I'm sure steam-turbine generators are neither cheap nor easy, so up to a certain point I can see skipping the expense and the hassle. But were I strongly suspected of being a fraud, I'd put a self-sustaining setup high on my list. I think the (incredibly high) interest in the device after such a demonstration would make the effort worthwhile.
