I agree. One should really run air tools with an inline air dryer to eliminate moisture. That impact wrench isn't going to last long otherwise. Cool idea none the less.

yeah, just simply there is nothing as hard and resilient as tempered steel with corrosion resistance without an incredible cost and energy of production or replacement premium
if it was a direct drive device then ok, you can make it resistant properly, like a bandsaw or a disk saw etc, but not only the driving parts inside the tool itself but what about the hoses, they aren't made for this temperature, they will fail faster too
Yeah, this will fail, probably won't take very long either for that air tool to seize up. IDK about the hose, it looks like it could possibly be heater hose like they use in automobiles. 🤷♂️
pressurised air is warm but not that warm
Steam is hot lol.
yes, and unless it's dry steam it's even hotter
dry steam means has no fine condensed droplets in it, requires special equipment to make it, has specific uses in chemistry
Superheating
yeah, it also requires that all of the surfaces it comes into contact with are hot too
also, no, it's not supercritical in any way, it just has no cold spots in the path of flow, and all fine particles have been prevented from entering the stream, usually there is fine meshes to block fine particles while letting the vapor through
there is several states it can be in, this is a brief description
