    Science-Related Photos: Post & Share Yours!

    Hello Andy, thank you. Actually I'm not sure where I dug that picture up, It was sometime last year when I was working on the Tesla Turbine, I'll include a pic of it running here in this post. Also If you would like to read about the testing ...

    Science-Related Photos: Post & Share Yours!

    Hello I have spent the last few years working on a Tesla Turbine and even though I'm not in a science lab I am wearing a lab coat so that should count right? So here is a photo pallet of science pictures on the turbine work, http://www.seabirdadventure.com/photos/the-tesla-turbine I will...

    Output power-calculations on tesla turbine

    Hello Knight Rider, I really appreciate the amount of thought you have put into the mathematics of your efficiency question. However in an effort to be efficient in calculating efficiency have you considered going back to that generator idea? Think of it this way; 1) With a generator...

    Solving the Tesla Turbine Bearing Temperature Problem

    Hello nunyabuizness, I just started posting here and would love to see these discussions start up again. I have been working on Tesla Turbines for a few years now and am slowly making progress on getting the system to be more and more efficient. I think this is a great article to read up...

    YOU: Fix the US Energy Crisis

    Hello Russ and fellow contributors, I think your question is great! In 2006 I got the insane idea of purchasing a boat, she's 177' long 42' beam, all steel, end of WWII F/S class ship really. When I got her it was with a general idea of helping to save the oceans with her as a research...

    Solving the Tesla Turbine Bearing Temperature Problem

    Hello Sixdeuce062, Sounds like you have a great setup already and I would love to hear more on your project. I just finished testing a third generation Tesla turbine prototype end of last year and am now also in the efficiency testing phase to squeak out as much performance as I possibly...

    Solving the Tesla Turbine Bearing Temperature Problem

    Hello fsjer, Yes it is possible to build a Tesla turbine with the water pressure you have, the key will be making a nozzle that will take the pressure much higher and faster then what you have now. The inlet nozzle is considered the most important part of a working Tesla turbine so...
