The steam has not been pressurized as far as I know. However, the
internal temperature of the machine is reportedly well above 100 deg C.
That stands to reason. Even with
180-220 deg C steam will be perfectly OK- at high pressure 10-16 bar.
Overheated steam is not economical.

Unless there is significant water content in the expelled steam, the
pressure doesn't matter, or have you forgotten your grade 11 phase diagram
again?
In real life, I have never heard of a steam

OK, well and good. But you named a specific figure, saying it can

Hi,

Rossi said there were several grams of Ni.
In the cell there are several grams of Ni
With 1 gram of Ni the average real production of energy is around
100 kWh
In the FWIW department
In the cell there are several grams of Ni
With 1 gram of Ni the average real production of energy is around
100 kWh
Ok if the value of that energy is about $5.00 to the power plant operator
(the grid operator gets the rest) and the value of nickel is $ 13 pound

The Rossi reactor was running at 40:1 output the day before the Jan. 14
demo. As often happens with demos, it failed to work as well that day. It
did not work at all for a while and the audience was getting rowdy.
It can easily go above 400 deg C. Carnot efficiency will not be an issue.

Rossi Ecat?
Well, it is true that if the only thing needed for the reaction to proceed
is to maintain a narrow range of temperatures, say it is between 390C and
400C, which probably aligns with a phase-change in the active material --
then not only can superheated steam provide some cooling but more
