It is important that tea pot does not overflow, because it messes up

water boils away, core temperature may rise too high.
That is an astute observation. Thank you.
You are right that if the water boils away the temperature will
rise rapidly.
If the heat is too low, the teapot fills up and starts to overflow,
cold water will flow in and replace the hot water, and it will soon
stop boiling. The outlet temperature will fall below 100 deg C.
While the machine is running, Rossi is constantly checking the
screen numbers and adjusting the anomalous heat. I do not know he
does this, but apparently he is able to do it. He changes the input
power slightly, I think. I assume he is keeping the teapot full
without letting it overflow. It would be easier to do this with a
tube on the outside.
Of course this can be automated. He is running the thing manually.

Hi Jed,
If Rossi is running the thing manually why is the controller box in
use and why does he make a point of stating it responds based on
temperature and pressure. See:
