I'm arguing that if dry steam were coming out of the ecat (corresponding to 5 kW total power), that most of it would survive to the end of the hose, because I don't think more than a few hundred watts could be radiated by the hose. And that what comes out of that hose is completely inconsistent with 4 or 5 kW of steam enthalpy. It's far less even than what you get out of a 2 kW steam cleaner shown on youtube and referenced here previously. Instead, I would judge the output to be more consistent with a few hundred watts of power (1 kW tops) over and above the power needed to heat the water. This is not based so much on whether it's visible at the end of the hose, but on the speed and volume of the gas, once it does become visible. And in the case of the Lewan run, on the amount of bubbling when the hose is held under water (not much). The consistently flat temperature is also a clear indication that the steam is not dry. I can see no reason the temperature of dry steam would remain so closely regulated at the boiling point. Rossi has simply not provided any credible evidence of dry steam. He has not reported any measurement that actually depends on the dryness of the steam (like the output flow rate) to give observers any confidence in his claims. His claims would be more believable without demos than they are with the shabby demos he has done so far.
