As for the Krivit's test, there is nearly no condensation inside the hose. That is visible in any of the video. The water output due vapor doesn't require a very fast flow, so it is certainly free, with no turbulence. The kinetic energy is just too small due vapor, 0.2W.

While I am also a skeptical, even rough approximation gives a huge output gain. Above 100 degrees means gas, and pumping a mixture would require either another pump, by means of ventilation. Ventilation is noisy and would require a large opening. Even 1% of liquid is a thick fog, which is not the
