You are right that if the water boils away the temperature will rise rapidly. If the heat is too low, the teapot fills up and starts to overflow, cold water will flow in and replace the hot water, and it will soon stop boiling. The outlet temperature will fall below 100 deg C. While the machine is running, Rossi is constantly checking the screen numbers and adjusting the anomalous heat. I do not know he does this, but apparently he is able to do it. He changes the input power slightly, I think. I assume he is keeping the teapot full without letting it overflow. It would be easier to do this with a tube on the outside. Of course this can be automated. He is running the thing manually. - Jed
