The Return to Steam

Call him a liar all you want.....

I think he's telling the truth, and again, his customers seem pleased.

More energy released as heat than taken in as electricity.....

Not bad in my book.

If you are talking about the impact heater with the high-speed water droplets then indeed we will have to agree to disagree.  I did not get a sense that the guy was showing any serious measurements.   Perhaps the electrical power into the drive motor vs. the steam power output.  I am going to guess that there is some kind of sensor that you could put inline with a steam line that will tell you in real time if the steam is dry or not.  Then connect that to some kind of steam flow rate meter.  So if you could make those measurements you would get an under unity device.  It's simply not true to state that very very high speed water droplets will become steam in an over unity process.  There is simply no rational reason to think that that could possibly be true.  The kinetic energy in the moving droplets will become the kinetic energy in the steam less losses.  That huge energy input requirement to split water and get it over the 100C hump and turn it into steam will still be at play.  Certainly some energy is lost in the metal target when the water droplets hit.  A shock wave will flow through the metal chassis and that energy will get dissipated in the chassis itself.

In your mind, it is all but certain.
