Condensing steam (photo)

Unknown

I did that a few times because it made me smile. Can you imagine doing it on this scale?

Sounds like fun.

Looks like fun. What's the trick?

OK

I hoped you would ask. I learned it here, I think from ME or Hotrod.

I took a gallon can with a metal top (waterplug can) and cleaned it out. I put a couple spoonfuls of water in it and heated the bottom with a torch. The cover was on it but loose. When it was rattling real loud and steam was coming out of the edges of the top, I stopped heating and seated the cover with a tap or two. The thing shrunk up like the train car in the picture from the steam collapsing. Copy & paste the link, there's text with it.

I tried it again with a rectangular can with a screw top.

That works the best. It's awesome.
