That was a water trap. You can see it trapped water and condensate.
This isn't a water trap. A water trap is a U shaped tube. It physically
force water to go down.
See it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trap_%28plumbing%29
What they made is a small hole inside the tube, like a T. Not U-shaped tube.
This not constrain water to go down, especially when there is a high wind
made by the steam.

Jed, how can you made such measurements without even a water trap?

Presumably when steam began coming out, they closed it. That's how
people operate steam engines, as I mentioned.
Why you can't realize that? It's a 2 million trade. The "expert" didn't
add even a simple water trap. It's amazing!
No, it isn't. I suggest you watch someone test a boiler sometime, or run
an old fashioned steam engine. Once the pipes fill with steam and the
temperature goes over 100°C and stays there, the pipes do not later
magically fill with water or condensate again.
