I find it difficult to assume anything but dry steam at 150 C and atmospheric after such a long travel inside the pipe. Any water vapor would be heated by the high temperature steam traveling through it. This process should result in lower temperature but dry steam after several feet within the mixing pipe.
It is too bad no one measured the temperature of the vapor leaving that other device that has an obvious vapor plus steam mix. My bet is that you would read 100 C if the pressure remains at atmospheric unless the total is dry. Note that this is exactly what was seen during the demonstration until the heat was adequate to overcome that phase. Once exceeded, it was relatively easy for the temperature to rise quickly. Every indication is that dry steam was being generated when full power was achieved.

If John was serious he can't really complain about Jed who's shown himself to be rather fanatical about this. Jed, are you up for this? Hopefully you'll chime in on the blog and say you'll do it. Why not? We should all go there and say "We Want Jed!" -- Daniel Rocha - RJ danieldi...@gmail.com
