Well, if you're claiming that all the water is boiled away, then the steam would be heated directly. You would have to supply a very carefully regulated power exactly equal to the power required to vaporize the all the water to satisfy the claim that the steam is dry. Just one per cent more power would cause the steam temperature to rise about 10C. It is not plausible that in all these different runs with different flow rates and different power inputs the ecat always gave just enough power to exactly vaporize all the water, and not a per cent more or less. A far easier explanation for the flat temperature is that there is liquid in the output fluid. if we trust Rossi.

But if we blindly trust him, then there is no need for demos at all. My point is that only a few hundred watts are needed from the ecat to explain even the numbers as given by Rossi.
