You can't carve with a casaba howitzer, the pulse duration's too short. I suppose you could use a few hundred and do dot-matrix printing?

It's dangerous chemistry: for a unit of water to go from liquid to vapor requires like 5 times the energy needed to heat that same unit from 0 to 100 degrees C. So think about how hot McDonald's coffee is and how badly it burned that coffee warning sign lady. Multiply the burny factor by 5 (a chunk more since coffee doesn't come boiling) and that's the burny potential of steam. Do not gently caress with steam.

Yup. My physics teacher gave us that same warning because we talked about a lightning bolt turning water to steam.

Multiply the burny factor by 5 (a chunk more since coffee doesn't come boiling) and that's the burny potential of steam at the same temperature. That's the bit a lot of people don't realize; fully boiled steam at 100C has far, far more energy to give up than liquid water at 100C, even though the rate of heat transfer is the same.
