Out of that 9m of hose, at least half is lying flat on the floor. That results in: 1) condensation forming a layer of liquid water that runs the entire length of that segment of hose, 2) the vapor must travel over that lquid water for that entire length 3) the floor itself could be sinking a significant amt of heat from the hose
Its pretty much useless to try to use steam flow out the hose to estimate heat output... -Mark -----Original Message----- From: Abd ul-Rahman Lomax [mailto:a...@lomaxdesign.com] Sent: Thursday, June 23, 2011 1:50 PM To: vortex-l@eskimo.com; vortex-l@eskimo.com Subject: Re: [Vo]:E-Cat vs. Water Heater for coffee/tea...

There will be reduction in steam output due to cooling in the hose. It's to be expected. The question is how much. And I'm suspicious of all the ad-hoc calculations. The whole point of a conclusive demo is to make such calculations as simple as possible Basically, assume 750 W of input power, how much steam would be expected *at the end of a three meter hose* like that. My sense is, not a whole lot! My guess is that we might not see anything except a little mist. But it's a guess.
