Here is a message from Mats Lewan. - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
A couple of comments. - The report you should refer to is this: http://www.nyteknik.se/incoming/article3166569.ece/BINARY/Report+test+of+E-cat+28+April+2011.pdf Mary referred correctly to this report, but someone referred also to the report from the test one week before when several measurements were not made. - Please don’t bother referring to air pressure that day to calculate the boiling point. I calibrated the thermocouple in a pot of boiling water before the test and it was 99.6 deg C. That’s all you need to know. It’s in the report. - My method of verifying that the T/C probe was not immerged in water was most probably not valid, unless you can suppose that the steam could be superheated by the part of the reactor/heater that was above water and thus possibly notably hotter than the part under water. I have not been able to validate that possibility. The higher temperature might as well be due to a slightly increased pressure inside the Ecat resulting in a higher boiling point (added to the increase due to the outlet hose being immerged in the bucket with condensed water), and consequently the probe could possibly have been immerged in water. - Still you have to account for the water that didn’t end up in the bucket. The theory of fog travelling 3 meter in the hose, exit the hose under water and make it to the surface, and still remaining fog, seems pure fantasy. Feel free to share on Vortex (I’m sorry that I haven’t time to take active part in the discussion on Vortex). Mats
