  • im still trying to figure it out, so yeah im an idiot, but how would you make the exhaust if u wanted to make a pump out of this? would it be better to make holes in the axle or the disks themselves?

  • @triggerhappyfreak Most do the disks, this allow for a larger opening.

  • Hmm...Didn't MrfixitRick already show how to do this?

  • MrRick has a great channel. He uses magnets as spacers. This is a bit different.

  • Dan,

    I started a Turbine project following your instructions to use that tiny natural spacers on the disks. First I glued each pair of disks together. Then, I welded the pairs applying epoxi resin on the internal space created when we put the recordable faces against each other. I noticed that the depth of those spacers may vary from disk to disk. It is a very small difference, but it makes it tricky to mount all the disks with the same distance between each other.

    Best regards,

    Daniel.

  • Hi Daniel,

    Post a video when you are done:-) You can do a video response.

    Thank you for the comment.

  • The big issue with using CDs is that by putting any holes or notches, you wreck the balance and structural strength of the CDs. To correctly make the Tesla Turbine, you have to:

    1) drill exhaust holes near the center

    2) fix all the disks to a center hub to harness the rotating energy

    Both will make it necessary to modify the disks. If it spins at a few thousand RPM, they will explode. For this reason, I recommend using old HD platters. They are VERY strong, balanced and keep a mirrored finish.

  • The primary mode of momentum transfer for a tesla turbine is laminar adhesion, not impingement on the spacers.

  • @GREENPOWERSCIENCE Would double sided media have the same ridge on both sides and create a gap without having to place the discs back to back?

  • The problem with this idea is that when the two ring spacers are placed together, you BLOCK THE FLOW OF FLUID COMPLETELY so it cannot exit out the center. Nice try, but nope.

  • Oh Dan... I have taken off all my clothes and I am waiting for Jesus, do you want to join me?

  • bla-bla-bla-bla-bla-bla ....

  • dude.. Wat s the diameter f the disk??

  • Why didnt you just made the turbine man!
