No matter what how you thought the plumes compared this does not give an
absolute means of determining quality, its only relative. BTW no such
shoddily constructed boiler such as Rossi's is going to give dry steam.
These 90-95% numbers I've been seeing thrown about are for very well
designed boilers that are meant to produce dry steam and even then the
quality can drop if those boilers aren't maintained well. No way do I
consider that Rossi has even made the attempt to produce dry steam. For one
thing the inlet temp is room temp, outlet 100C, so there must be a gradient
for inbetwwn (neglecting 100C metal surfaces). This gives ample opportunity
to create wet steam.

How do you explain the low velocity of steam at exit of E-Cat?
No one measured the velocity as far as I know. There were some videos
taken of it, but they do not prove anything.
To anyone who has studied the volume of steam expected from full
vaporization as claimed, those videos raise substantial suspicion that the
power is much less.
I recently borrowed a steam cleaner trying to fix bathroom grout. I looked
at videos of other ones on the Internet. Judging roughly by appearances
only, that is, the length of the plum, the part where it becomes visible,
the amount of water being vaporized, the Rossi device looks to me like
other steam machines that consume 2 to 4 kW. The others have much shorter
hoses, with a narrow orifice at the end, and a shut off-valve. I am
comparing them when the valve has been open for a while.
It's very hard to tell, for sure. This is no way to run a demonstration,
if you care at all about "convincing."
