You might think that all this time on the steam quality is
quibbling over minor details, but one of the senior contributors
to the Vort collective calculated that if only 5% (by mass) of the
water going in was not vaporized (i.e., ended up as liquid water
in the outflowing steam), it would pretty much wipe out all excess
energy being claimed by Rossi.
No. Where do you get that? What senior contributer said that? If 95%
of the water (by mass) is converted to steam then Rossi's claims are
95% right. (Well, ignoring discrepancies in flow rate and input power.)
What is true is that if the output is 5 % liquid by *volume*, then
Rossi's claims are 6 or 7 times too high. Because 5% liquid by volume
corresponds to 99 % liquid by mass.
That would probably have been Horace, and I think he may have meant "by
volume". The calculations are in the archive, among the most recent
posts from Horace just before he bowed out due to lack of time, if
anyone cares to go digging.
