And another thing! When you test with a drum can of cold water, the partial pressure change might mess up the upstream measurements at the gadget, but the drum can test itself still works. It collects all the enthalpy: hot water, wet steam, dry steam. That's the beauty of it, and that is why I sugg

Good detective work, Jed. I hope they hook it up to a generator. In the fickle PR world, it seems to me that the device generating 1 megawatts of electricity would be the most convincing demo of all, especially if it can be clearly proved that there cannot possibly exist the equivalent of a one M
