    It was like 100% inevitable that this would happen eventually, but I think it's still pretty cool that this guy was driven to blast himself up a few hundred metres in a steam powered rocket again and again for no real gain.

    That's the totse spirit really.
    The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

    Anything that comes out of the engine is exhaust, whether it's water vapor or burnt gases.

    LOL you idiot. Air doesn't leak off of the planet through holes in the ozone.

    So by either definition your application of the word burn was incorrect as I stated. If you define it as a burn as tissue damage your use would be in correct as the parachute was not constructed of organic tissue. Therefore it could not be burned by steam. If you define burn as a combustion process which consumes fuel and produces heat, light, and gasses your use of the would burn would again be incorrect. Steam can not produce combustion of inorganic material and therefore could not have burned his chute.

    I said the parachute got burned off by the exhaust trail, and that is perfectly true. The hot vapor burned right through the fasteners and ropes.

    Parachute cord is not organic it is nylon. Nylon melts at 428°F or 220°C. Even dry steam is only 356°F or 180°C. However even at 212°F or 100°C nylon would suffer severe structural integrity challenges and fail under load. So at best it partially melted but it did not burn in any sense of the word by any definition you choose.

    Dry steam is 180°C. Steam is only 100°C. That is the temperature at which waters boils and vaporizes into steam DUH.

    The heat obviously burned through the chute fasteners, or it wouldn't have separated from the craft.

    Nothing burned. The fasteners were not organic and steam can't burn inorganic materiel.
