Actually the compressed air does not create the condensation. It is
the heat generated from compressing the humid air that causes the
condensation.
Incorrect. It is *exactly* the compression that causes the condensation:
water that is vapor at ambient pressure can be condensed into liquid by
increasing the pressure.
So Doug, I suspect you believe it is the pressure from "your firm grip" on
a glass of ice water that causes the warm humid air surrounding the glass to
cause condensation on the cool side of the glass.
