Alll I have seen on it says there is no steam involved, simply
mechanical pressure...I'm not sure how the thing works....there was a
guy named Schaeffer in Chicago (now dead) who was using high intensity
mechanical shock pressure applied to water to produce steam.
I have a bit of information on him with a couple of bad copies of
photos. I think it works along the lines of 'hydrosonics' as with the
Griggs counter-rotating drums, spaced about 1/4" apart and which
causes molecular shearing of the water to produce heat from that
friction.
A similar device is the Yusmar vortex heat generator by Dr. Potapov
over in Russia. It uses a compressive vortex chamber and is claimed
to produce sufficient heat to heat buildings simply by water flowing
at high velocity. Is this the one you are referring to as Pavlov?
Pavlov was the guy who did behavioral research and is best remembered
for causing dogs to salivate on hearing a bell.
To see something on the Yusmar, check out;

Tests of the Yusmar in the states (they were looking for overunity
effects, moreso than the heating that is claimed in the device, though
Potapov says it is self-running once started);

A similar anomalous effect is claimed in a self-running device using
high velocity, high pressure cooking oil as described in the Clem
engine at;

The thinking with regard to this heating effect is that the phenomenon
takes the form of a Hilsch/Rankin tube (you know the air vortex tubes)
which produce heat on one side and cold on the other, using molecular
separation based on heat density/size of the air molecules.
The heat swollen excited molecules are vectored into one path, like a
sieve or filter...the smaller, cooler ones are the cold ones and pass
to the other path.
