Running the Tesla CD Turbine Prototype With Saw Attachment

This is the crazy movie where the magnetic Tesla CD Turbine began. This prototype CD Turbine with a real Skilsaw blade attached, gets run up to speed big time on120 psi air pressure...

The CD Turbine actually works way better than expected, and both of us are left screaming as I scramble to shut down the air compressor before the pressure goes up more!

This Tesla CD Turbine is made from recycled CD's and CD case with a nozzle glued on. Neodymium magnets act as both disc spacers and drive magnets.

The Skilsaw blade has magnets attached to it, which spin with the turbine, but on the outside of the case.

By some magnetic miracle which I am still analysing, the Tesla CD Turbine with Blade holds together. (Aside from a CD part flinging off at the beginning, and some mysterious melted plastic on the top of the CD case ;)

And I live to do the next video, entitled "Running The Tesla CD Turbine to Catastrophic Failure"

I think you can guess what happens next... :(

WHY?!!

@cashmoneyprizes

Sometimes one has to do something crazy to find sanity in this world!

@rodstartube

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

That could have went so wrong. lol Glad it didnt.

@marcuelcajon

It was a big risk, but proved some important ideas to me about magnetics and turbines. I did it and lived, but please don't try this at home, kids!!

So fucking Crazy! I love It! :D

[bndrcr82a08e349g]

You are the craziest!

[sk8crazy93]

Love it! You psycho man! hahaha

[luminaeus]

STAND BACK! I'm going to do SCIENCE!

this. X_X

you have made a air drill,that i think is at the hardware store.

[trx125tracy69]

make it work on it's on without air or water, then you will have something

great dad just cut your head off besides yur arm.
