That is well below the boiling point of water. Hydrodynamics and others make factory boilers much larger than 130 kW. They make them 200 to 400 kW. However, the flow of water through these boilers is rapid, so the water does not flash into steam. Your assertions make no sense. You seem to think that the e-Cat should have melted a ton of steel. How can it do that if all of the heat is being carried off in the form of hot water? You cannot use the same heat twice, once to heat water, and once again to melt steel. - Jed
