steam-powered
Driven by vapor
Steam-powered describes machines or vehicles that run on steam—water heated to produce pressure that drives pistons or turbines.
The term evokes the Industrial Revolution, when steam engines transformed manufacturing and transportation: steam-powered locomotives, steam-powered factories.
Today it often appears in historical contexts or steampunk aesthetics.
