If that's the case, then it might explain why Galantini specifies 100.1 (99.7+0.4 C). Last time I looked, the specs on the combined Testo temp-hum probe were: accuracy: +-0.4C resolution: +-0.1C So he was taking into consideration the worst case scenario when making his measurements...

This is normal boiling and it produces relatively dry steam (far less than 1% wet). If temperature is 99.7 °C or below but constant, then it means that steam is not dry. If the temperature is above 103.0 and fluctuates, then heat element is only partially submerged and heats steam directly. This is perhaps what Rossi ment when he said that now E-Cat produces completely dry steam, i.e. E-Cat heats steam directly, not through liquid phase. This is of course what we are looking for because we want 500°C steam for industry. Note that boiling point in bologna is not 100.0°C but 99.7°C. Jouni
