Hi Robert, If this excess energy over what is required to heat .9g/s of water to 124C is somehow stored in the eCAT (say, as thermal energy in a fairly well insulated block of steel) then it would be enough energy to possibly give the impression of a self sustaining reaction for at least 3 hours.

Pump capacity and pump stroke contradict 15 kg / hour. The observers twice collected the output, and it was .91 g/s during operation, and still under 2 g/s after it was sped up during quenching. See Robert Lynn's calculations below, with manufacturer and video reference, or just look at the Ny
