I thought he pointed out evidence that they DID cheat, i.e. not
enough heat from the radiator corral.
That was a different discussion. I think that is debatable. In this
case, Heckert was listing various other ways to cheat:
1. Using magical hot water that is liquid at 100 deg C and 1 atm; i.e.
"if it was hot water, then the energy was 5 times less than 100 kW."
That seems impossible to me, but okay.
Sorry, I edited this sentence and dismissed something. It should read:
"if it was hot water, then the energy was 5 times less than 470 kW, that
means less than 100 kW."
Water is at 100° can be steam and can be solid. Impossible to tell,
because the pressure is not held precisely constant.
Water does not suddenly explode, when the temperature goes from 99.99°
to 100 degree, because any vaporization causes a small increase in
pressure and consumes thermal energy and this stops vaporization.
