  • Nav nemaz tik viegli... :D

  • Hi, it is an awesome machine.

    But can you list out the input and output exactly ???

    And any calculations of it ??? Thank you.

  • excelente trabajo no mas ve la dureza de carga que te ya que es el 50% de su rendimiento sin carga aumentando el el  flujo de agua un promedio te roba un alternador normal de 2 a 4 hp de fuerza mecánica solo mas la carga de las batieras buenas noches

  • tesla turbines are about 90% efficient in transferring kinetic energy from fluids (air/water/steam etc) but once a load is applied the efficiency is between 30-40%

    The very best combustion engines at present are about 28% efficient. Your car is probably less than 20%.

    The biggest problem with tesla turbines is that they spin so fast, and building them out of components that won't fatigue or self destruct. I had a small alternator connected to one the alternator disintergrated after 30 seconds

  • good job !

  • So how long would it take it to run itself out without stopping it yourself? Looks like it'll coast for at least twenty minutes.

  • gloves...

  • theres a lot of waste there in the disk surface...you're losing too much air pressure with those massive slots in your disks...and they act more like impellers.

  • I think for really high RPM you'd have to keep the plate outlets as close as possible to the rotor to reduce the effect they'd have on the balance. I assume that making the precise is not easy to do. Even a small part of a gram out of balance at high revs and it will vibrate wildly. Also, at high speeds you may have to go with magnetic bearings. They'd require a separate power source but it may be necessary.

  • not that I am 12, but do you think someone of 12 years of age would be able to make this? Would it be safe?

  • @legoman6986 (English is not my orimary so keep that in mind) If you ask for someone in your family don't let them make it there is a posibility that the rotor or whatever it is called if not properly calibrated(i only think this means balanced)it could brake and cause devestating damage beware it could easily cut someoned arm clean off i had an accident like that but fortunally it hit the wall and it dug in like 7 centimetars(i think that would be around 3 inches or so) so take care please :)

  • Very nice machine, its so well balanced that its hard to tell that its up at 22000 rpm, usually you would be able to hear a lot of rattling with a machine revving so high, seems to have a lot of torque too, good work. I might try and make a micro one in a while, at the moment i'm very close to completing the worlds smallest ltd stirling engine, just waiting on 2 parts from Australia, very annoying.

  • turbines instad of disk hav more kinetic energy

    y not make one of those?

  • this is not really a teasla turbine its more like a vaine style motor

  • I'm curious about the effects of PSI versus CFM. Supposedly these motors transform the flow of fluid into kinetic energy by forcing it into a vortex. If the discs are inside an isobar, and that isobar is more pressurized than the isobar at the exhaust, then the discs will start to spin opposite the vortex that's required to allow the escaping fluid to travel between them into the exhaust.

    I wonder if steam's expansive volume is more useful than compressed air...Darn YouTube character limit...

  • Um, why are your disc holes so large...you should make the disc holes MUCH closer to the center of the disc and not have them take up half the turbine!

  • I wish my harddrive was that fast

  • Any plans to use your tesla turbine as the motor on a compresssed air powered go kart? I think a five to one reduction to the drive wheel would work ok.

  • Hi! Air outlet is to only front- or backside too? Have you description and/or construction drawing on your Tesla turbine? I'm very prying :)

  • There is only one air inlet. You can find all the info you need from the Tesla patent 1,061,206

    Just google it up!

  • I know, but I inquire because your turbine is very cool! It seems to me, it has good efficiency. Keep it up!

  • I hope you know that this isnt a Tesla Turbine. Its a variation of an Impulse Turbine. You have to have more surface area on your disks for the Boundary Layer Effect to work. The air here isnt interacting with the surface of the disks, its interacting with the blades you have made. The air is pushing the blades to create motion, rather than the air interacting with the disks through friction. Plus your design isnt very efficient, and you have a lot of air loss.

  • Hello Jetijs! Really really awesome piece of equipment! You mentioned in another video that there isnt much torque. Can one be built to produce more torque?

  • Awesome Awesome. Very nice build.

    How much money did it take to build it?

    Might try out a small scale friction boiler someday.

    The Tesla turbine would be a great application.

  • Yea that doesnt sound like 23k rpm... i have that same tacho and the techo reading wont be as correct if you dont use the reflective tape that comes with it. your probably right about 23k divided by 3. Its still pretty fast :D does it have any torque? its pretty useless if it doesn't :D

  • Can't imagine that it would have much torque at all. Sure after it spins up maybe, but you would never be able to engage a clutch at that speed. Or an the half chance it has any torque it would take FOREVER to get up to speed.

  • now ya need a gear box to get the rpm down to a usable speed. Thats the hard part with these things.

  • Actually I am not sure about those RPM's, the blades have three spokes, so that tacho number needs to be divides by 3, that means that the RPM's were just a little under 10k. But judging from the sound, I would guess that the RPM's are way greater. Anyway, I need better spacers, because the plates are shiftes a bit on the threaded shaft side and this creates a vobble effect that in turn creates a big vibration on high revs. The hole table was shaking.

  • 23,000 rpm that is how fast my blender moves... you are braver than I am grabbing the shaft I normally put the brakes on with a piece of wood to the shaft. thanks for sharing.
