Summary:
- The article explains the physics behind why steam (water vapor) is significantly more damaging to electronic devices than liquid water.
- It highlights how the high kinetic energy and molecular size of steam allow it to bypass standard water-resistant seals that are designed to block liquid droplets.
- The piece serves as a technical warning about the limitations of IP (Ingress Protection) ratings when exposed to hot, pressurized environments like saunas or steamy bathrooms.
