• How compressible is metal vs how compressible is steam, when they are cooled?

  I can tell you that while metal shrinkage is non-negligible, steam condensing is several factors more compressible.

  Or are you saying something else that I’m not following?

• Not to get overly pedantic, but I don’t think decompression means what you think it means.

  Also, the same pressure is acting on a fluid with a high energy/lowered density. When its cooled, the air wants to have a higher density, thus reducing the pressure inside the can relative to the atmospheric pressure that it is experiencing. It begins to suck in more “cool” water, which continues lowering the temperature of the water present. This is both because it is “cooler” to begin with as well as the latent heat of vaporization and it most likely aerosolizing as it enters the can turbo charging the feedback loop

  If you’ve ever actually done this, you’ll notice that there is a “small” amount of water inside the can, that is the rememnent of the steam as well as the water that got sucked into it.

  Its also worth trying to work out, thermodynamically, why would the hot steam want to rush out of the can??

• This honestly looks better than the actual Dawarich and community dawarich apps. I’ve also had a ton of problems keeping it tracking 24/7 for some reason so I’m gonna try this one for a bit. Thank you!

• Honestly, same.

  My SO said I constantly need to be tinkering or my mental state goes off the rails.

• I think this might be the most impressive/best one I’ve seen so far
