SinkScience #06 - Tesla CD Turbine Holiday Decision Maker

[jmm1233]

lol , i don't think Tesla had thought of that one , awesome though to see it working , how much voltage and current did you get from it ?

[MrfixitRick]

When I hooked up a heater motor in reverse as a generator, I was only able to get a couple of watts out of this CD turbine. Most of the power of the faucet water pressure was used to overcome the turning resistance of the generator.

[jmm1233]

i just wonder actually and i am having a look at how big a tesla turbine would have to be to power a water electrolysis vat to make burning hydrogen , it would be an interesting concept if the two could be combined in some way ,

[MrfixitRick]

I agree that the two should be combined. One Tesla turbine could be used to generate the hydrogen, and with ceramic discs, another turbine could handle the heat of burning it.

I think the ultimate would be to have a hydrogen plasma based turbine, with magnetic fields involved. (see MT Keshe movies on radical new magnetic plasma theory at YouTube/watch?v=wtf5bp76ArE )

[jmm1233]

i get what you mean , like tesla coil fusion reactor , that would be so awesome

what a joke, get a life

GOO:D

What the fuck is repel mode?

[MrfixitRick]

Hehe, repel mode is when the like poles of the magnets are facing each other. So the magnets don't stick and drag like in attract mode, but more push each other around instead.

Some of my other videos show a magnetic coupler, engaged with the turbine, that is always used in repel mode.

What the fuck is the point of this whole stupid cd water turbine, i think it was a waste of time to what that

[MrfixitRick]

I think the main point is that the great inventor Nikola Tesla developed a really cool Turbine about 100 years ago. Now, for under $40 anyone can build their own model Tesla CD turbine based on the same principles. And maybe even learn a few things about Tesla which they conveniently omitted from the history books.

no marnujesz tylko wodę dziwaku!!!

hhaha you could go hit some golf balls in the dark at your neighbours house you dont like

[pearljamfan99]

Have you thought about using some sort of low friction bearings versus the cd spacing plate as a bearing? It seems that friction kills the momentum. Friction and heat are the devil to a lot of ideas.
