Tesla turbine. Test 2

Another test with better blade spacing and air flow in the input. But there is still much to do to get the best out of it.

Hi! Air outlet is to only front- or backside too? Have you description and/or construction drawing on your Tesla turbine? I'm very prying :)

There is only one air inlet. You can find all the info you need from the Tesla patent 1,061,206

Just google it up!

Actually I am not sure about those RPM's, the blades have three spokes, so that tacho number needs to be divides by 3, that means that the RPM's were just a little under 10k. But judging from the sound, I would guess that the RPM's are way greater. Anyway, I need better spacers, because the plates are shiftes a bit on the threaded shaft side and this creates a vobble effect that in turn creates a big vibration on high revs. The hole table was shaking.

Hi, it is an awesome machine.

But can you list out the input and output exactly ???

And any calculations of it ??? Thank you.

excelente trabajo no mas ve la dureza de  carga que te ya que es el 50% de su rendimiento sin carga aumentando el el flujo de agua un promedio te roba un alternador normal de 2 a 4 hp de fuerza mecánica solo mas la carga de las batieras buenas noches

tesla turbines are about 90% efficient in transferring kinetic energy from fluids (air/water/steam etc) but once a load is applied the efficiency is between 30-40%

The very best combustion engines at present are about 28% efficient. Your car is probably less than 20%.

The biggest problem with tesla turbines is that they spin so fast, and building them out of components that won't fatigue or self destruct. I had a small alternator connected to one the alternator disintergrated after 30 seconds

good job !

So how long would it take it to run itself out without stopping it yourself? Looks like it'll coast for at least twenty minutes.

theres a lot of waste there in the disk surface...you're losing too much air pressure with those massive slots in your disks...and they act more like impellers.

@legoman6986 (English is not my orimary so keep that in mind) If you ask for someone in your family don't let them make it there is a posibility that the rotor or whatever it is called if not properly calibrated(i only think this means balanced)it could brake and cause devestating damage beware it could easily cut someoned arm clean off i had an accident like that but fortunally it hit the wall and it dug in like 7 centimetars(i think that would be around 3 inches or so) so take care please :)
