Here is his entire response, with permission: Jed, I only observed the tube held upright once and did not study it carefully. There did come some water spurts after some time, but I couldn’t tell after how long time. My interpretation though is that Rick’s simulator runs below what Alan calls the dry-out point, and the only way that you can make it similar to what I observed is by cutting off the water flow (case A), thus eliminating the overflow at the outlet which is inevitable when you are below dry-out point. I’m fairly convinced that the Ecat I observed run above dry-out point, due to my conclusions from the temperature at the outlet. But as the input heat power supposedly was larger than in Rick’s simulator, the amount of condensed water should have been larger than in case A below, and consequently spurting might have occurred faster. And as far as I can see in Rick’s video, the steam flow from his simulator was weaker than the flow I observed. Mats
