At the risk of confusing the issue, is it possible that Rossi is trying
to *reduce* the apparent temperature of the system?
After seeing the video of the September test, and reading Eff Wiavkeef's
comments here:

it seems obvious that the steam coming from the rubber hose is at a much
lower pressure than the water/stem being released from the E-Cat at the
end of the video. Therefore, there would have to be two different
reservoirs of water, one in a sealed container at high pressure, and a
separate one, at normal (1 bar) pressure. They would be physically
isolated, but thermally connected (through some sort of heat exchanger).
The high-pressure side could be heated to much more than 100 C (at 5
bar, 152 C., at 10 bar, 181 C.). The pump would push small amounts of
water through the heat exchanger, which would draw heat from the
high-pressure reservoir, converting it into steam.
This would easily explain where the "extra" heat came from. It would
also explain the long, forceful jet of water/steam coming out of the
E-Cat then the high-pressure side was opened at the end of the video.
Rossi would have to hide the fact that the system is actually holding a
temperature much higher than the 100 C. he claims.
Just throwing it out there.
I'm sure Rossi has a bag of tricks he can apply to give the illusion of
any Ecat performance he desires. He has had years to prefect his bag of
tricks.
