The difference between 4.4KW and 0.8KW was not visual, the former didn't seem to put much more steam. The difference was more in the intervals between bubbling noises. They seem to scale inversely linearly with the power.

Simplest way to do convincing demonstration is to recycle large enough volume of water, so that inlet water is pumped from the water tank and outlet will lead back to the same tank. Then it needs only to observe rising temperature. If Rossi wants to do really convincing demonstration he would

Peter, producing low pressure steam is not the point, but to produce high pressure steam when E-Cats are scaled up and connected in serial and paraller for 1MW plant. It is claimed by Defkalion that E-Cat is able to produce 414°C steam in high pressure. This is what scaling up means here.

I re-watched Krivit's video and got confirmation for this interpretation. Temperature anomaly was there just 100.1°C and steam production only fraction of Lewan's E-Cat. Therefore we can estimate that Krivit's E-Cat produced, while video was filmed, something like 1000W±200W total power. So, here
