It could simply increase to 70 kW and then remain stable there. It is Rossi that is *claiming* an 8-fold (actually closer to 7) instant power increase. When the temperature is 99.9 degrees, if we accept Rossi's flow rate, then the output power is about 66 kW. When the temperature is 105 degrees or so, *Rossi* (not me) claims the power output is 470 kW. Since there are only a few minutes between 99.9 C and 105 Celsius, Rossi's claim requires that the power output increase from below 70 kW to 470 kW in a few minutes. *I* claim it is not plausible, and therefore Rossi's claimed power output is probably wrong, and in any case, definitely not proven (accepting the data).
