"You cant deliver one megawatt of steam through a 2½-inch pipe unless you go hypersonic, the expert said. So observers of the big 1 megawatt demonstration that Rossi promised for October should look for steam exiting the shipping container in excess of 768 mph." Surely this is only true if the pipe is opened to the air. If the steam remains under pressure (and e.g. drives a turbine), then it need not be hypersonic, if I'm not mistaken. (e.g. at 84 atm the speed would only be 83 mph). Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/project.html
