Oh, I have constantly talked that the measured boiling point of water is 99.7°C. Apparently my memory did error as I meant that boiling point according thermometer is 99.6°C! Notice that absolute accuracy of thermometer is ±0.4°C. Although it's relative accuracy is ±0.1°C. This alone proofs that there is considerable amount of pressure build up and pressure can only be build up if there is lots of dry steam present. Therefore only explanation for heat anomaly is that there is internal power source within the E-Cat structure. Electricity just cannot explain the temperature of 100.5±0.1°C if we assume that thermometer readings are not falsified, e.g. with secret heating element near thermometer sensor. –Jouni
