They often did explode, unfortunately, even in the 1930s, at the pinnacle
of the technology. Maybe a single pipe explosion or an accident was more
common than a boiler failure

Many modern power plants run at close to 1,000F and at 3,000 psi. The weight
of steam equals the weigh of water under this super-critical condition. Water
does not boil but gets thinner and thinner. Solids do not accumulate in the
boiler and there is no boiler blow down. Any solids in the
hands.

Somewhat similarly, when you drive a fuel-injected car, the fuel is injected
into the cylinders at high pressure, and the point in burning it is to
