When Galantini observed the test, they had large version of E-Cat that can store large quantities, perhaps several liters of water, before it starts overflowing. This also means that ictu oculi is very unreliable way to make reliable confirmation. And as we already knew, Galantini did not measure E-Cat's internal pressure, but he measured only the room pressure. It is obvious that Krivit's E-Cat was overflowing, if there was 7 kg/h flow rate, because if all water would evaporate, temperature would be more than 101°C due to steam pressure. But even more probable it is that actual water inflow rate was something like 2 kg/h or even less. Little pincer in the inlet hose can reduce the inflow rate, as pump operates only in 300 kilopascal pressure. [speculation] My interpretation for the June E-Cat is that Rossi did not show Krivit a working E-Cat, but only version where was only electric heater active(!). After all many people have requested a control experiment, where E-Cat runs with electricity only(!). And if we look Rossi's presentation when he did "calculations" he treated Krivit's audience like he would assume that Krivit was doing journalism to some tabloid news paper(!). So I would think that Rossi has just twisted sense of humor(!). Perhaps he also wanted to discredit himself, in order to be bothered by press so much. [/speculation] - Jouni
