Well, there are steam bubbles and there are steam bubbles. Steam
bubbles in the bottom of an open pot of boiling water may have 
their effects limited to the production of little crackling sounds,
but steam bubbles
inside the boiler tubes of locomotives are quite capable of blowing
the boiler to bits. Steam bubbles explosively expanding and collapsing
inside the plumbing of a heating system will move kg slugs of water
at a good clip.
