I hot-glued the entire top back on, but the poor little turbine was never the same. Since then, I've taken the disc pack out and trashed the case. The turbine's 23-disc CD disc pack is still usable after 2 years of intermittent use.

Yes, a cover other than a CD cakebox would make logical sense. I like to see the discs moving, so clear polycarbonate is the best choice. I'm building one now that will literally be bulletproof...which I will demonstrate if I can talk my buddy with a shotgun into it!

I'd like to try lots of designs, but a true Tesla Turbine gets expensive real quick, especially if it has a machined shaft, high-speed bearings, seals, and a machined case with special nozzle.

Unfortunately my $10. per month experimental budget doesn't go far, so for now I experiment with recycled CD's!

The ceramic discs I really want to use will cost $600 - $1200 apiece to be made.

BTW, T.E.B.A. has taken down their web sites and has little useful info on the net now apparently.

Haha, thanks for the blender tech info. What an incredible blender!

If my turbine could turn 50,000 rpm, it would develop about 20 horsepower. With proper ceramic/nanocarbon turbine discs, this would be an easy reality. Except for the $12,000 for the ceramic discs, that is!

Edison's creative process acording to Tesla "was a painful thing to see"...
Edison was a swindler ,he cheated Tesla out of $50,000 dollars and eventually those who bought Westinghouse cheated him out of his royalty rights to his many patends .
The 20th century would have been very different with Tesla's creativity in full force.
If the worl had never hear of Edison and only Tesla everything that Edison invented Tesla would have created better!
