Tried to melt crushed ice into something more useful using heat from a steam vent. With the steam turbine on top of this geyser the atmosphere usually becomes a vacuum when geyser is idle. After introducing crushed ice I noticed that there is still residual steam and that at the base of the geyser the temperature is negative 25 Celsius. I was expecting some sort of condensation of steam to water liquid or that the atmosphere would return to vacuum like when there is no crushed ice in the room.
After playing more I suspect that it had something to do with the extreme temperature of the crushed ice. When the crushed ice warmed closer to 0 Celsius some steam converted to liquid but for quite a long time steam existed but it was only a small quantity maybe a few milligrams.
Enclose a steam vent and introduce crushed ice
