I would expect the pump noise to alter. Before boiling occurred the pump only had to contend with flow loss induced pressure requirements. When steam was generated it had to handle the flow losses plus the steam pressure on the unboiled water that would be trying to force the feed water back

I believe you should do a much simpler test. As I said, an experiment is best when reduced to minimum number of components. That is, when you test the claim to its essence. You keep it clean. Test one thing at a time, in isolation, rather than the entire range of behavior the eCat exhibits. There

Hi Jed, I think the simple test would be to put a 25kg block of lead (for big ecat simulation) on the gas with a pan of water on top of the lead, all well insulated. Turn on the gas and heat until the water boils. Turn off the gas and with whole container well sealed and insulated see how long
