The gaps are only optimal at silly speeds in your deisgn, consider redesigning it with the optimal boundary layer in mind Pi(sqrt(kinematic viscosity of the fluid/ the angular velocity of the turbine))

Sorry but you dreaming, if you think a worm reduction drive has enough of a gear reduction - you need a planetary gearbox - these thinks can easily do 30 000 RPM
Well when we actually made it we had to drill the holes out of cds, which was no easy task. We broke many cds before we got the holes drilled cleanly. We just picked a drill bit that was small enough not to break the cds.
The holes should be as large as possible, but not so large that the discs break when they get up to very high rpms. Bigger holes means more air flow, but weaker cds.
Yes, I had a hard time step drilling my CD's to 16mm. I drilled a stack of 20 at a time and I found that no matter what I did the top one would always break. The ones underneath survive, except the last one which sometimes suffers from 'breakout'.
What kind of bearings, air gap & air pressure are you using?
Thanks for posting this cool animation of what is perhaps the best Tesla CD Turbine ever! The worm gear is a brilliant idea, and the adjustable rods is a good feature, too.
I think the inhabitants of Mars will welcome it! hehe
good work
can anyone make a powerful Tesla turbine and moving a car with it ?

@fr0ber We designed the turbine to work at w = 9,000 rev/min (942 rad/s). Using your equation with kinematic viscosity, v = 15.68e-6 m^2/s I get:
pi*sqrt(v / w)
= pi*sqrt(15.68e-6 / 942)
= 0.405 mm
The washer spacers we used were 0.5 mm thickness.

@smoseson Oh ok Wow, I'm used to seeing effective RPM with the power linked ranging from 3000 to 6000.
But to be honest I thought the spacing compared to size was cooompletely different to that, just my failure at visualizing sizes I guess :)

Any reason for having the air exit holes so small?

Good observation!

Are you using an air guide in your injector?

Look at the attached videos for the actual working turbine.
bearings: Steel Ball Bearing--ABEC-1 Double Shielded, No. R4 for 1/4" Shaft Dia, 5/8" ODMcmaster part number: 60355K43
Air gap between cds was made with tiny washers: Metric Steel Shim - DIN 988 0.5mm Thick, 16mm ID, 22mm ODMcmaster part number: 98055A222
And here's the gear: Molded Nylon 14-1/2 Deg Angle Spur Gear 16 Pitch, 20 Teeth, 1.25" Pitch Dia, 1/2" BoreMcmaster P/N: 57655K56
