Arnaud,
The internal temperature is most likely what must be maintained to keep it running. If they could conduct a bit less heat outward then the internal heat could be maintained high at the same time. This would be a balancing act though. Someone would have to play with the cooling coils to adjust their position and contact. Mats should find a way to expose the output water stream to the air and see if it is violently ejected due to the pressure that should be associated with the elevated output temperature of the steam. My suspicion is that they are not getting an accurate reading of the steam itself. This is unfortunate.

The technique that they useto measure the output power gives me pause because of the elevated outputreading that they use to calculate the power. Inoticed that the output temperature is in the ballpark of 150 C, which I have astrong suspicion is not what the output water is actually exhibiting. This may be a metallic structure reading instead of water since theinternal temperature readings are so large. I am not capable ofinteracting with the on line demo so perhaps someone else might ask them aboutthis issue for me. Theyshould increase the water flow enough to keep the water from boiling in orderto prove that the power is as measured by their experiment. Otherwise, Iwould just assume that the water is boiling and at 100 C provided it is provendry. Doesanyone else share this concern? Dave
