That's 4.17 g/s -- Lewan recorded 0.9 (stable) and 1.9 (cool-down).
Easy to imagine, if it boils.
Then Lewans measurement is not representative.

The pump is specified in Lewans report. It has a maximum of 12 kg/h.
This similar in an earlier demonstration. Possibly they exchanged the pump peristaltic hose, then it is possible.
Peristaltic pump NSF Model # CEP183-362N3 Serial # 060550065 Max output 12.0 liters/h Max press 1.50 bar
So it was a maximum of 12 l/hr during cool-down, and if we take Lewan's numbers as a ratio -- 6 l/hr when stable.
12l/hr gives a maximum transfer rate of 8.8 kW -- close to the peak 7.6 kW recorded on the secondary.
It could be, the e-cat was throwing out water in chunks.
Yes, we still have to explain the variability of the secondary output (Horace Heffner's slug hypothesis), which matches the 50% water 50% steam we had in September.
Still ... the numbers just don't add up.
