Tesla Turbine made from old Hard Drive pt2

[Stoney3K]

Have you tried wiring all of the phases to another hard drive and see if you can make it spin?

[jrecoskie]

Houston we have liftoff!!

[the731272]

seagate medalist i recognize the design

[MinEgenKanal]

Is it possible to make an air driven dremel this way? Will it be fast enough (RPM)?

[jeppoification]

@MinEgenKanal dude you can buy then they are called die grinders, $30 ebay

[MinEgenKanal]

@jeppoification Good! Well it is said that Nicola Tessla invented the AC motor, maybe this turbine is replacing the types you can see in a vacuum cleaner/organ/air pump or Turbo of a car?

[Stoney3K]

Have you wired a dummy load into this thing and tried to measure the output power?

Wiring it up to another hard drive directly making those platters spin would also be a good load test.

[304Stephen]

Can you make a video showing how to get electric output from one of these? I was going to make a speaker but i broke the arm wires and salvaged the magnets. I want to make a generator, and i think i may be able to hook mine up to my bike! :D

[Sebolofixmix]

hahahahahah man you are the man!!!

[pietzeekoe]

you have to pump it in thru the side

[RabidRahker]

Tesla turbine run on fluids. In engineering terms, gases and fluids are both fluids.

[spongemagnet]

oh engineering terms, no wonder it doesn't make sense

[nottafanboy6954]

So wait a 10 amp 220v air compressor to make 8-9V doesn't seem very efficient.

[TheOneAndOnlyFink]

Tesla turbines can also be run on water.

[nottafanboy6954]

@TheOneAndOnlyFink yeah and it would certainly take less energy to move a denser heavier material.

[beancube2008]

Why don't you drive it with hot steam for generate electricity?

[inegma29]

Heat may effect the magnetic properties of the neodymium magnets magnets and add extra resistance in the electronics effecting output generated causing a decrease in possible voltage. Motion from heat disorients the atoms in magnets.

[Stoney3K]

Nice one, simple to do and pretty cool to do anyway.

Can you do a test run of the thing under load to measure how much current the thing can put out?

[Boeserwolf93]

u could better have used one of these old 5 1/4" hdds, they usually have about 5 or more platters

[intheshitter]

My 1tb hdd fell and died so i might turn it into one of these lol

[m3sca1]

that would be a high capacity turbine!

pls post a video response if you do make one.......

[Boeserwolf93]

OMFG HOW CAN U DROP A 1TB HDD?

[intheshitter]

It was actually my brother that dropped it. I had over 750gb worth of shit on it i have collected through out the years of my internetting.

He asked to borrow it and fucking dropped it!

[spongemagnet]

at least it wasn't full

[Stoney3K]

Maybe because is was bricked anyway?

[903harman]

@Boeserwolf93 i know!

[jeppoification]

@Boeserwolf93 settle down bud, shit worth more then a $100 are being dropped all over Iraq right now!

[Boeserwolf93]

@jeppoification i dont think that this is a proper comparison. both is stupid, anyways

[metrioma]

cool

[pimpflea]

This is really impressive. Great work! I'm currently trying to build a steam powered Tesla Turbine using steam generated from a Fresnel Lens aimed at a simple boiler. Hopefully the bearings and seals don't get destroyed too quickly by the steam.

Thanks for posting the video!

[m3sca1]

sounds good -cant wait to see it

[elementx440]

@pimpflea one year later... i guess it didn't work!

[GitarStu]

@pimpflea Its a year on now. Any progress you can show?

[mitchahbw]

ACE, ove it, grate idea!

[dtbakerqwe123ou]

You are correct, still, it was pretty cool - I had it stuck in my mind that you were trying to make a point about energy...

I was wrong...Sorry.

[dtbakerqwe123ou]

Sweet, then run the 6-7 volt output through an inverter and see if it will power an air compressor that will sustain a dozen PSI at some given CFM - on a few miliamps.

Magic.

Oh!....Wait! - Behind you...it's a violin playing unicorn!

[m3sca1]

lol

all i did was drill some holes in a hard drive platter and port the chamber like a tesla turbine.

wtf are you talking about?

who said anything about free energy?

[Zeglr]

According to the physics of laminar flow you'd have to adjust the distance of separation of the plates to compensate for the speed of the turbine to obtain max efficiency. If someone figures out how to do this in a simple manner then you got yourselves a superior turbine than the bladed turbine.

[rightwingzionist]

short the shunt and see what is the max current.

[saddork]

that dm doesn't measure ac current only voltage

[m3sca1]

it slows down signifigantly with a short across the terminals

[saddork]

when u short it it becomes a brake I=E/r. try shorting all 3 phases:D

[rightwingzionist]

what's the point if you don't measure current to get power

[ciphernaut]

or try using schottky barrier diodes across the outputs to provide rectified output and putting on a load to reduce the speed to about 50% of no load speed...

[scottaspect20]

yea why does it do that my turbine slowly spins if the terminals are touching

[m3sca1]

cos its under full load

[rightwingzionist]

What are you talking about? Your hard drive motor runs on DC. 2. Is that your DM? 99% of these can read upto 10 Amperes.

[saddork]

obviously you've never taken apart one of these. you really don't know what you are talking about. the hdd spindle motor is a triphase synchronous motor wired in star config and controlled from the hdd controller. you can check this by hooking 2 of the phases to 6v ac and just give it a spin with your hand it will just keep spinning .and yes, you've just made a fool of yourself

[NutsandGuts]

lol you pronounce it like "harddrove"

[m3sca1]

thats cos oim an ozi

[000darkstar000]

WOW!!thnx4 this cool vid*****how much V can1:100scale make,magnet Diven?Free Power?cool!

keep experiment'n m8*****

[Nachalnika]

confusing ???!>!>!>!

[Aeryk333]

hehe instantly from a hard drive, awesome. :D
