AI Thread Summary
A deci-hour is a metric time unit that represents one-tenth of an hour, equating to 6 minutes. Confusion arises from varying interpretations, with some sources inaccurately suggesting it could range from 7 minutes to 2.4 hours. The discussion also touches on the need for a shift to a metric time system, proposing a 10-hour day. Additionally, the term "deci" as a metric prefix denotes a factor of one-tenth. Clarity on these definitions is essential for understanding metric time concepts.

Thread 'Questions about the Tesla turbine'

Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...
