Damon: What do you mean by this statement??? "Water at 100 C does not boil and magically get 0.1 degree hotter as steam. What were they thinking?" The temperature of steam can be anywhere from boiling point on up to hundreds of degrees... it all depends on pressure.

Storms E-cats Have No Hair Here is my challenge to the rest of you. I will be looking for evidence myself:- What evidence exists that water does not rise in the chimney and weep or splatter into the exit tube? So far we seem to only have the assurance of our intrepid Phd's operating outside of the domain of their expertise. This obtained: 1) Misapplication of a humidity probe which returned meaningless results. "Not even wrong", in the words of Wolfgang Pauli. 2) Invalid interpretation of a thermometer reading. The simple explanation is that liquid water simply overflows out the exit. Interpreting the thermometer reading of 100.1 C as an indication that the chimney contained water in the gaseous phase, no matter how wet, is an error. It takes only a one foot head of water to raise the boiling point of water to 101 C. As well, 0.1 C is less than half the error I have seen in specifications for commercial probes in ideal conditions. Water at 100 C does not boil and magically get 0.1 degree hotter as steam. What were they thinking? I have no idea. But we did get treated to Phd's experimenting and reporting outside their domain of experience. If I am mistaken and one of them is experienced at Calorimetry---well, that person might have some explaining to do.
