Tesla turbine and Power Tap torque and speed measurements

[jayguy173]

how about flywheel storage like f1

How do you determine the designed operating RPM?

Felicitaciones por la casi excelente replica de la Turbina de Tesla. Hicieron los discos de ALUMINIO! Why? F=m.a This is Newton´s law. I wonder what would happen if you try another material...

I wonder what would happen if you had more air inlet nozzles around the edge.

whats the spacing between the disks, and how much torque did it produce? Oh and how many RPMs as it running at?

I added info to the description.  This turbine required significantly more mass flow than "shop air" (or lab sink) could provide for it's peak performance. The disc spacing was more appropriate for water, but I haven't reconstructed the test setup outdoors or somewhere I could get very, very wet.

Can't read the meter. What is the power output at what psi?
