Máquina de vapor. El principio de esta máquina se desprende del hecho que una gota de agua convertida en vapor a la presión atmosférica, ocupa un volumen 1700 veces mayor que al estado líquido. Consiguientemente, si se vaporiza el agua en un recinto hermético, resultará una fuerza de expansión muy grande que puede ser aprovechada como fuerza motriz. 1, record 4, Spanish, - m%C3%A1quina%20de%20vapor
