We can't consider them all together all the time. It's too confusing. But anyway, it's only the E&K test that the water would be 60C from the input power alone, if all measurements are accepted. That means an additional 300W was needed to reach the boiling point. They used > 4 kW to rule out chemical sources. It would not be as obvious with 300W. Moreover, the power was not monitored in this experiment. It is possible that it was turned up after the initial measurement. In both of Lewan's demos, the electrical input was enough to bring the water to its boiling point (at least within a few degrees). In the January demo, the reported power was not enough to bring the water to its bp at the reported flow rate. In that case, the power was monitored, but the reported flow rate was about twice higher than the pump could provide. If you use the maximum flow rate of the pump, the input power is enough to boil the water. And in all the cases, it is not implausible that the reactor supplies some chemical heat.

I'd put in an order for my own ecat. I don't trust Rossi at all. That pump has now been photographed from every angle, scrutinized in excruciating detail, and I have far more confidence in the Esowatch analysis of the pump frequency than I do in Rossi's word.
