The steam takes up most of the volume and so it moves much faster entraining water droplets in it. As Heffner described it, a kind of percolation phenomenon.

No way to avoid that. When the steam moves fast through the conduit, it will likely flow in an annular/mist regime, and depending on the design, could be in a pure mist regime. It would have been in Rossi's interest to design the conduit in such a way to generate a mist. > Under those conditions, plenty of water would indeed be expelled. > Unfortunately, the evidence clearly suggests otherwise.

The device used was wholly inadequate for the purpose, and would have been completely useless if the water was entrained as a mist. Moreover, evidence indicates that the valve to this device was closed during the run, even though Rossi claims they collected the liquid throughout the run. > You are correct in your beliefs. > Such certainty is the sign of a closed mind.
