Mac PSU Efficiency

Has anyone done or seen an [preferably independent] test of the efficiency of PSUs in Mac (Apple) computers? I did a brief Google search and only came up with this so far, which doesn't really help. I'd really like to see the efficiency curve for the PSUs they use in different models (Mini, iMac, Pro, etc.).

Just looking for info to compare Macs to non-Mac PCs.

Macs don't use electricity, they are powered by a sometimes faulty electric-air receiving antenna, didn't you know that?

Actually, I'm curious myself. Damn things are so proprietary, it's probably hard to tell WTF is going on inside.

A bit off-topic, but related and interesting [to me]:

Mac mini: Power consumption and thermal output (BTU) information
Mac Pro: Power consumption and thermal output (BTU) information
