Someone pointed out to me that when Lewan made the video, the valve leading to the condensate bucket was closed. It must have been open before that, because there was condensate in the bucket. Based on how toy steam engines work, I suppose that pipe had a great deal of water and condensate in it at first, before the entire machine heated up. I suppose they drained the line. When it cleared and only steam came out, they closed the valve. That is the usual method.
The notion that you could have water at these temperatures and pressures is ridiculous. It was steam - Jed
