@noordereind19 This is theory. Do an experiment to prove or disprove! Stop Trolling!

really great info :) you explain things really well :)

Actually, high efficiency is obtained at higher RPM and when the spiral has more turns.

Thank you very much for this wonderful explanation. I was thinking to run a Tesla turbine at very high speeds and use gears to slow it down and gain considerable torque to run a large Dynamo/Generator.

Thank you Superman!

Could this be applied to a skate?

@heavym3tal Hes right

@killerbee04x you can't use any OTHER turbine for that matter!

Do you know of any previous attempts to use a tesla turbine in a closed cycle (i.e., using two turbines, one as pump; hot on one join, cold on the other)?

@Fordi Unfortuantely no. I have seen no documentation to that. I have heard of the Turbines being used as pumps, but no commericial application of both a turbine and pump.

@heavym3tal
The reason I ask: I've been reading up on the use of supercritical CO2 as a working fluid in a closed externally heated Brayton cycle for high temperature gradient applications where steam turbines end up with a huge size requirement per watt.
It may be fun to try subbing in laminar adhesion turbines for the compression / power stages, rather than regular reaction turbines.

@Fordi I would recommend you examine the Magnox and UNGG nuclear power plants. They used CO2 as the coolant, and you might be able to find information on the CO2 properties used in those setups. If you want any help with the mathematics of your design, I would be happy to lend a hand.

WELL WHAT ABOUT -200 DEGREE COLD. WHAT ABOUT A VACUUM? WHAT about gravity? Send one to SPACE

@killerbee04x Did they teach you about coherent statements in school?
