I didn't see you mention how you were calculating your CoP in that graph. Can you explain it a little more as far as where your sensors were, etc.

Also if you separated the data into different graphs I think it would be more accurate i.e. when you multiply your COP by 10 you also multiply error by 10. If you still have your original data I would be interested to see them separated and axes identified, I for one would find it much more informative.
The test and the graph produced by the test was meant as a first-pass test-of-concept. For that reason alone I'm not inclined to de-construct the entire methodology.

> ...how you were calculating your CoP...

COP is energy out divided by energy in.
You will need to capture the amount of energy going into your system.

You will also need to capture the amount of energy coming out of your system.

...then divide the latter by the former.
If you want specific assistance in setting up your own test, please tell me exactly what you need to know in order to proceed, and I'll try to assist.

I wish you the best in your own project, don't forget the photographs.
