The "rapid overfilling" was at .91 grams/second (It turns out the 1.92 g/s was for quenching) I've wanted to look at these numbers, and back-of-the-envelope, 381 watts would raise the water entering the E-Cat by 100 degrees (from 24 to 124 degrees C). An additional 2,056 watts is required for the phase-change, but, of course, we have no idea how much is boiling away. Greater than 2,437 watts would completely vaporize the input water. Of course, this means that the water in the E-Cat would be running dry and getting super-heated if there were prolonged excursions over 2.5 kW. But, of course, this didn't happen, did it?
Hmmm..... If my numbers are off, I apologize. I didn't recheck.
