Consider a well-insulated box. It contains a reservoir holding a substance with high specific heat and high melting point. Into the reservoir, and through a tube into the box, may flow water, and steam may escape. Internal controls may regulate flow. Hot air may be used to initially heat the substance. How much heat may be stored in the substance and used to vaporize water? It is certainly not limited by "chemistry."

No claim is made by me that such a device has been used to demonstrate heat generation, only that it is possible, and not particularly difficult.
