live steam
Pressurized water vapor
Live steam is steam under pressure, as opposed to steam that has already expanded and lost its force.
The term distinguishes working steam—capable of driving engines or turbines—from exhaust or condensed steam.
Live steam enthusiasts build and operate scale model steam engines: a live steam locomotive running on miniature track.
