Joshua, In one of my original posts I stated the fact that, in my opinion, Rossi's current e-Cat configurations are probably not configured in such a manner as to generate steam that is much above 100 C. I don't think the water once it's transformed into steam has a chance to hang around long

Wait a minute Steven, I think Rossi has shown adequate but not rock-solid evidence for a strong energy anomaly. How does that make me a skeptic? However, if you take all the evidence weighted strongly towards the Swedish testing and VB, then it looks like it is non-nuclear gain. Does that make

Let me add my two cents: If Rossi's e-Cat reactor core can regularly sustain temperatures of 500c or higher, water that is in contact with the reactor core's surface FOR LONG ENOUGH PERIODS will most certainly exceed temperatures 100.1 C, and by quite a large margin. However, the tick would be
