	Steam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Steam is a capacious reservoir for energy because of water's high heat of vaporization.
		Steam is used in saunas and steam showers to produce warmth and therapeutic effects in human beings.
		Condensation of steam to water often occurs at the low-pressure end of a steam turbine, since this maximises the energy efficiency, but such wet-steam conditions have to be carefully controlled to avoid excessive blade erosion.

	Steam engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Steam engines were used as the prime mover in pumps, locomotives, steam ships and steam tractors, and were essential to the Industrial Revolution.
		Steam turbines, technically a type of steam engine, are still widely used for generating electricity, but older types have been almost entirely replaced by internal combustion engines and electric motors.
		One of the advantages of the steam engine is that any heat source can be used to raise steam in the boiler; but the most common is a fire fueled by wood, coal or oil or the utilisation of the heat energy generated in a nuclear reactor.

	Live Steaming - Home Page
		Live steam railroading is the term most frequently applied to the branch of the hobby involving larger models, in most cases suitable for hauling (full size) passengers, and in most cases using steam as the propulsion mechanism (hence the name).
		Live steam railroading is frequently done in conjunction with live steam clubs, which typically own or otherwise have access to a plot of land on which layouts of one or more of the standard gauge track sizes are laid.
		However, the construction of a live steam locomotive is still as much a hobby of amateur machining (or in some cases a commercial machining business) as a railroad hobby.
