"You have no idea what you are talking about. I have many times used inductive cooktops which were more than capable of boiling water, and I can assure you they did not measure 4’ x 4’ x 5’."

I'm talking about an industrial scale unit capable of putting out 5000 watts. I seriously doubt that your inductive cooktop was capable of that level of output. Your pot isn't remotely as big as the ecat, nor was room temperature water flowing through it, which kind of ups the power requirement over your cooktop. Unfortunately, it is "you" who doesn't know what he's talking about. I've used these units. I know exactly how big they are.

“I know exactly how big they are.”

No, apparently you don’t:

This is an example of a cheap inductive range putting out 3000 watts. Now, why don’t you go ahead and tell us again why your 5000 watt unit is so much bigger and fancier than this?

Keep in mind that Rossi’s unit doesn’t even boil water! He recently described it as only heating the water, rather than boiling it.
