If a liquid has a vapor pressure of greater than atmospheric pressure, that liquid boils.
Sony Ericsson showed off a vapor-y Symbian Foundation phone with a 12.1 megapixel camera codenamed the Idou.

Slingshot is a vapor-compression water-purification machine that can produce about 30 liters of 100% pure distilled water per hour using the same power as a hair dryer consumes.

According to a document at the FBI's legal counsel's office dated February 1996--but that officials say they realized only last week was significant--HRT agents asked to use M651 military rounds because the heat they generate produces a vapor that provides greater penetrating power.
That's in spite of a new vapor chamber cooling system that allegedly supports up to 450W of thermal output.

Though Vapor Corp is not yet profitable, I had a chance to learn a little more about the industry in a chat with Vapor Corp CEO Kevin Frija.
For an earlier collection, the designers printed the cloth in bright swirls with an inkjet printer, then steamed the reverse side with "a fog of aluminum vapor" to give it a reflective side and enhance the colorful print, he says.

The situation is made all the worrisome because the hole is believed to be close to a well containing 1.5 million barrels of liquid butane, a highly volatile liquid that turns into a highly flammable vapor upon release.
The gas is then fed into a stack of solid oxide fuel cells, where a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen occurs, producing electricity, water vapor and a tiny amount of carbon dioxide.
An ingenious new laser called Waterlase adds to that the ability to cut through dry teeth and bone by casting a cloud of hot water vapor around the laser's cutting point, a couple of millimeters from the tooth.
The RVP is based on a test that measures vapor pressure of the gasoline blend at 100 degrees F.
Water vapor is a potent greenhouse gas and will absorb yet more heat.
If there had been just one puffy trawler, a little tugboat of a cloud, even so much as a cotton ball of vapor against the blue, he would have hoped.
For example, when you heat a pan of water the vapor pressure increases until it reaches atmospheric pressure.
If you oxidize any hydrocarbon, you generally produce heat, carbon dioxide, and water vapor, assuming a relatively pure fuel source.

Electronic cigarettes are battery-powered devices that heat a liquid nicotine solution in a disposable cartridge, creating vapor that users inhale.
Geothermal power plants turn hot water into steam or vapor to run a turbine and generate electricity, after which the water is injected back into the underground geothermal reservoir.
The much larger warmings forecast by IPCC require a major increase in atmospheric water vapor and warming clouds.
FORBES: What Happens When You Rub Two Climatologists Together?
Yeah, we know, we just caught a huge whiff of rather depressing vapor, but what can you do?
As a result, the astronomers demonstrated in their research that the JWST should be able to detect the presence of water vapor and oxygen in an atmosphere in just a few hours of observation.
All that comes out of the tailpipe is a little trickle of water and water vapor.
It's the extra heat released when the water vapor condenses that is like a driver flooring a car's accelerator.
Increased water vapor in the air is a consequence of higher temperatures.
The technology has advanced to the point where we are getting that much closer to fully solution-processed OLED devices, and new materials such as our non-aqueous HIL are a key requirement in the transition from vapor to solution processing.
ENGADGET: Plextronics rolls out next-gen OLED ink, promises bigger, better OLED displays
Scientists have used chromophores for decades to detect chemicals, but, until Fido, they weren't sensitive enough to detect trace explosives because each molecule of TNT vapor would switch off just a single chromophore, with the result that faint wisps of evil chemicals caused no visible change in luminosity.
Right on cue, Wentz proclaims that the mercury vapor reading hits 61 in just a few seconds.
FORBES: Dr. Oz Is Worried About Your Teeth. Should You Worry Too?
Formerly, the water from the toilets had flowed out in a stream, but now it was thin vapor the speed of the train tore it into prickly spray.
Yet the IPCC fudges the models so that they produce a much higher increase because of the assumed water-vapor amplifier.
