  • @liadon666 great question, what's the Pressure, Volume, RPM, gear ratio, efficiency theory and purpose? I love this kind of shit, I gotta go back to school!

  • 80psi

  • air compressor.......

  • The Tesla turbine is a proven design. An open mind should be kept when young students embark in these string budget project. This should be considered as a "concept" exercise and I think that it shows that indeed this sort of little engine could be used for this work. I too see no fraud at all, just guys trying to keep things in place and running! Now where you would get the air... is a totally different ball game. Maybe there is another team devoted to this. Keep up the good work guys!

  • Cool.

  • How to get high pressure need to run any turbine.

  • LMFAO, if you had half a brain you would see there is not enough tension in the air line for the guy to be pulling it up the track, you fuckin halfwit hahahaha

  • You are an idiot. Do you see there is a chain connecting the output shaft of the motor and shaft to the cart. The wormgear has about 20:1 torque ratio. Also, I know we wouldn't allow ppl to push it cuz I was a TA for this class.
