You cannot judge what comes out of the hose. You have not measured it; not the speed, or the temperature, the dryness or any other parameter. You know practically nothing about it.
My point is (again) if the steam flow rate is ~10 m/sec (as it must be from calculations to give stated anomalous heat) it would be able to entrain some water. Whether the flow rate has actually been measured was not relevant. Certainly there is nowhere near 10m/s flow at the end of the hose.
How do you know this? Did you measure the speed of the steam? By what method? Do you know how much it slows when it strikes air after leaving the hose? Have you compared the speed to other steam producing machines with similar hoses? Or hoses with smaller orifices?
As I said, this is a mere impression, but as far as I can tell, the plumes of steam from other machines that consume 2 to 4 kW look about the same as the Rossi device. The speed of the plumes, based on the distance at which the steam becomes visible, seem about the same to me. I did a very rough estimate with a ruler, comparing it to the Krivit video. Admittedly this is far from real science. It is an impression. I would not put any stock in it. But unless you have done something better, such that you can rigorously determine the speed of the steam, you don't know a thing about this.
