With a Grease Spot Photometer or Bunsen Photometer /German Fettfleck Fotometer) you can compare two electrical powers of any alternating and direct currents of any waveform and frequencies up to the GHz range.

To do this, I place oil-soaked paper in the middle between two identical light bulbs, through which the currents to be compared flow.
