  • what made it spin is it connected to a current or an air compresser? intresting you should make more videos

  • @BadRick951 Yes, it's connected to an air compressor

  • Thomas Edison invented for the purpose of profit. He was also not a scientist.

    Tesla was a Scientist, who researched stuff that even we wouldn't understand.

    Edison invented the lightbulb and got no farther, but we remember him. Tesla invented the modern electricity grid and hardly anyone knows his name.

  • Even though he's doing tech talk, the accent still sounds like he's gonna kill my whole family.

  • @teamerx I'm not sure if it would increase efficiency because it would lower the pressure difference for the initial turbine.

  • not sure why but your closing sentence cracked me up. really great demo of a genius device though!

  • This is the pilot speaking, today we will be flying with tesla airways. Dude you sound like a pilot!

  • I didn't know tesla wore a turban.

  • What if ... the exhaust of the teals turbine is connected to a tube , that has bladed tourbine in it ? 2 in 1 ? more efficient ?

  • @BadRick951 Did you calculate effeciency? I made one as my Final Year Project in engineering that ran upto 14000 revs with 6 inch plates(dia) but never calculated its efficiency. Connect it with steam source (using parabolic solar collector) and generate electricity. Best possible alternate energy source.

  • @chaz706 A correction to the comment: Thomas Edison did NOT "invent" the light bulb; he simply created a reasonably good, long lasting filament in October 1878. There were 22 other inventors before him that had worked on what we consider a "light bulb". As for the comment on Nicola Tesla, you are correct: Tesla invented Alternating Current (AC), while Edison worked only with Direct Current (DC).

  • can you tell me where to find the design plans for this?  very nice work man.

  • You almost sound like a relaxed Arlo Guthry...that was a compliment.

    Cool turbine, btw.

  • The dialect makes this 50% more funny.
