All the arguments about wet steam or dry steam are bullshit. Water
cannot leave the reaction vessel without directly flowing out. If no
water reaches the hose, it can only escape as steam.
Water changing state is always endothermic, even by evaporation (it's
what cools humans on a hot day). Water cannot walk up the chimney and
out the hose. Only a gas can do that. It's Newton's law.
Arrgh. Imagine that a steam bubble is trapped in the reaction
chamber, and grows, forcing water up and out of the outlet. Without
knowing how the interior chamber is arranged, we can't know that this
can't happen.
A gas can drive the water up and out. *Probably* the E-Cat is not
arranged to do that, or only did it a little, and they've fixed it.
It might have been as simple as putting the thing on a bit of an
angle, I was trying to see if the E-cat had a tilt to it. Couldn't tell.
