Tesla CD Turbine Experimental Test Combining Air and Water

This video shows preliminary tests done with the Tesla CD Turbine as a blender with simultaneous compressed air and water pressure in the "Power-Boost" function.

It works great! I get a little wet, though!

The Tesla CD Turbine is home-made from recycled CD's, CD cakebox, neodymium magnets, and glue.

It is based on the same principles as the original Tesla Disc Turbine invented by Nikola Tesla 100 years ago.

My CD turbines have no shafts, seals or bearings and use a special magnetic coupling to drive accessories.

I get neodymium super-magnets at K&J Magnetics:

i like your videos (love the tin foil hat; good sense of humour). i think kids are learning more because of videos like yours. youtube is a good source of unaltered information. if it were not for gamer videos and "conspiracy foil hats" diluting the searches, it would be very easy for a kid to get good tutoring from people like you who do it for fun (and maybe just a little praise). i have a suggestion. it might help spin the discs better if you use air but use a venturi to add mist. reply?

@ledaril

Thanks for the comments! I try to add a bit of wackiness to science.

A venturi seems like a good idea, as the liquid water does collect in the case and slows the discs. However, that turbine burst in one of my following experiments on my kitchen table, hehe. (See my movie "Tesla CD Turbine Blender Bursts On Kitchen Table")

excellent! what useless knowledge you have.. lol

[MrfixitRick]

@xHizukax

One man's useless knowledge is another man's treasure.

[whatyouwannamyfriend]

are you wearing aluminum foil on your head?

[MrfixitRick]

Sure, the Tinfoil Safety Toque keeps me safe! Every mad scientist needs one. (hehe)

[autopatte]

love it. its amazing..!!

[TheNavitas]

@MrfixitRick It doesn't help your credibility.

Out goddamn standing! I used to experiment a lot with home-made air and water-driven turbines too. But i used more conventional bladed turbines. I think it may be interesting to test which turbine output is greater - classical bladed or tesla's non-bladed, dont you think so?

[ledaril]

i think it would be a good project to mix only a little water (by venturi effect) as the power source. would like to see you do it since u already set up for having fun. they call it entrainment when you use one fluid to draw one fluid or movable powder into another stream via venturi effect. i believe air with a very little water will spin up more and transfer more torque. good luck with the lab tests.

[ledaril]

maybe you should do a video on how to construct a foil hat. that was funny to see you wearing it during a serious video. i bet the HAARP people will love the hat. i love the videos they make of contrails for 10 minutes and say "there is the proof". i am still trying to understand how the tesla turbine works and how the kids of our time can improve the efficiency and find new applications. good video.

[xHizukax]

@MrfixitRick nope... One man's useless knowledge is another man's garbage. XD

[jetpoweredgriffin]

Cool hat!

It really says,

"Your attempted mockery means something less than nothing to me..."

Walk On!

[jetpoweredgriffin]

@Rick

I'd say he's outnumbered,anyway...

I wonder if he will ever build anything or just waste his time like so many others....

posting unsolicited attempted discouragement on as many sites as possible!

Keep it up Rick-

I say DO try it at home....

where else?

Besides-

it may be illegal tomorrow if it isn't already illegal today!

Thanks for posting!
