The output from the *reactor* is horizontal, and level with the input. Then it flows through a pipe into a chimney. There is no heating element in the vertical part (according to Rossi). > > You forgot that the chimney makes it tea pot like and essentially > vertical in structure. No because the chimney is not situated vertically above the reactor.

The steam is produced in the reactor and passed horizontally to the chimney. There the flow of steam and water produces a steam/ mist mixture. At least that's my picture of it. But the reservoir there is not heated.
