I think in turbine compressors (like in airplanes and some very large air compressors) if you run in a surge condition you can overheat or start to melt the turbine blades. And that's basically just hot compressed air + friction. (I think.)

Immerse the hard drive completely in the water. Turn the power on. You should see the water start to bubble and froth, releasing oxygen and hydrogen - it is essential to have an open window nearby!
