- High torque, 1000 rpm.
Water turbines are efficient because there's no heat loss, and it doesn't compress.
Nikola Tesla patented this turbine in 1913. Link to patent patents.google....
This is a partially homemade prototype.

when i was a kid, this is the first video that i watched on youtube. i have came back to full circle hahahaha
Same here. Really miss the old days.
This was also one of the first videos I ever watched on UA-cam. 🥰
Are you engineer now?
you mean this video is your last ?
I’m sorry folks the guy died of covid-19
Had to take him away myself
Whats with all the hate? It's a demonstrative piece it's not meant to do anything other than show how a Tesla turbine works aka nobody cares if it leaks because it's never going to be used.
Sometimes people make things for the fun of making them not just because they have a specific purpose
the purpose is FUN. Time you enjoy wasting is not time wasted.
Apart from friction
Yes like your mom Made you for fun and no purpose
Yes for him is fun but for watching is wasted time
Kenan Perjaya Lol who the fuck is made made for purpose? Of course it‘s fun making and having a baby?
Are you nothing but an heir to your parents??
Sweet, now I can power my house and flood my neighbors at the same time! All joking aside this is pretty cool, have you hooked it to a generator yet to see what kind of power output you can get off standard line pressure? This might be cool to use as a generator during a power outage if the output is high enough.
hello from the distant future!
No
Tesla patterned it for flying/automotive. Very efficient with air input, not water because of the small exhaust.
Hi. This is 2021.
But your water bill will be through the roof....
The amount of stupidity in the comments is hilarious. Its not a lawn sprinkler. Its a turbine. The point isn't that water comes out, the point is that shit inside the machine is turning really fast
@Bill Simmons no.
@Bill Simmons I'm just thinking Hydroelectric generators. Being a not developed technology, why limit free thinking to new solutions or picking old tech turning into new? This videos ends where it starts, but people from UK are making new units made in titanium and surgical steel that really outperform every characteristic "new age" and pseudoscience people like to discuss. No free energy or stupid things, just a fucking high torque high perf turbine.
Works better with a gas than with liquid, since gas is compressible
Piss on a pinwheel, you get the same results, Piss all over your 👞
Not knowing a concept doesn't make someone stupid.akes some ignorant. I didn't knew the exsistence of this machine untill yesterday.i knew very well about Pelton Francis Keplan but not this one.
This looks amazing I wish I had one of these can’t imagine being able to create technology and bring human life everywhere
Hi! :) Why not? ..I also dream of connecting with people and improve lifestyle of everyone
What a great application of a fantastic idea! Tesla was a genius!
Tesla, realmente um gênio!
Have you measured energy output against water pressure for this as compared to more traditional turbine designs for the same pressure?
Bro you speak like an Engineer, I respect that. This is the only sensible comment. In practice this shit won't work if it is to drive a load.
Lot of negative comments. You can tell from the bubbles on the front membrane that the turbine uses Tesla's Boundry Layer Effect and it doesn't have blades. What is cool with this is the "exhaust" must be passing through the membranes where you would normally have holes, guess on my part because I can't see the back, and it is an obvious Tesla design because you can see the internal bubble vortex bubbles on the membrane and the water vortex. Any pressure could be used such as air or water so if you had a gravity water source it would be ideal. The way the parts are designed it is far more simple than a bladed turbine, much easier as a DIY. Only thing really wrong with the video is none of this is explained. So no thumbs up from me, but no thumbs down because it is kinda cool.
Nice start, just work on the packaging to provide a more decent seal. Also it would be in your best interest to install another discharge/intake port so that your turbine runs using a combo of centrifugal and drag instead of just pressure.
In all fairness, his designs are still mind boggling :)
Thats a pretty flash lawn sprinkler you have got there.
If you're gonna drop a name like Tesla then there damn well better be some lightning
And if Dwayne the Rock Johnson became a chef you'd want to know what he's cooking.
That's a great test and has potential. Tesla drives can run at high rpm's which is needed or cutting so the water helps cool, and keep dust or sparks down. The leaks need to be stopped so the rpm's can be accomplished.
Cool lawn sprinkler! Like it!
Whoops, i am in that part of youtube again...
I've been wanting to make a video with a 1000 hp irrigation pump, I'll just shoot water onto a field with the irrigation guns and everyone with be crying.
good job , you made a sprinkler way more complicated than it needs to be .
*****
dams produce power by spinning a generator to make it... this is a shower head
You made nothing , you wasted the water playing with the hose.
+Adam Reed Dam's* Damn with an N is a "Curse Word" (To some people)
+Adam Reed Of course damns produce energy and you waste it!
*****
and exactly how does this defeat the friction coefficient ? What are your bearing surfaces made of ? How do you intend to produce anything in the way of electricity with a shaft-less drive ?
Your sprinkler is cool , I just dont see how you are going to do anything with something invented 100 years ago by a man who lived with his pigeon girl friend.
no one else made anything from the idea in 100 ... show me 3 vDC being generated with this idea or shitcan it until you can figure out how to do .
*****
If you can make it do that ... i will give you details to obtain funding to further production for a prototype that can be patented.
You just made me believe in you .
The Tesla Water Sprinkler
Hydro power is great and already in use all over the place. If a new (sort of) turbine design would improve the output for a given head of water then it's even better. Maybe he'll go onto incorporate that into later models & give the numbers.
Are you telling me that Tesla invented the Lawn Sprinkler?
Lawrence Zeng What isn't so obvious is why someone would incur a $500 water bill to produce $5 worth of electricity.
it would cost more energy to pump the water back up then what the generator makes.
if only there were natural sources of flowing water in this majestic world to utilize, but alas, we have none! all water is devoid of potential or kinetic energy on this planet!
Joshua Peterson this made me chuckle man it's Reyt
it's not?
:-D nice garden irrigation
You have it set up backwards
The water should be going in where it is coming out and coming out where it is going in. ( centrifugal force )
The mounted shaft should be sealed within the unit and magnets should be placed on the flywheel to transmit the mechanical force externally
The centripetal acceleration of the blades creates back pressure holding the vortex of water in the turbine.Since the only exhaust is in the centre of the turbine, the vortex gets stronger and stronger to overcome the forces pushing it away from the centre, which in turn spins the disks faster. The faster the turbine is, the more efficient it gets. The reason it isn't used to generate electricity today is because when it was invented, the materials simply didn't exist to withstand the high RPM required. Also because it relies on the Boundary Layer effect it has low torque. The only way to increase torque would be to increase the diameter of the disks. Then the question would be how practical would it be to make much larger turbines? Very interesting idea in principal.
In my country, this wouldn't be saving, cuz water costs almost same as electricity :D
You could set this up to recycle the water .......... cant do the same with electricity
@Esteban Harris wise words.
In your country do rivers not exist
great work..
until you put a load on it and it utterly stops.
Mike Warren ? what?
what do you mean what? has anyone ever actually used this in a real world application?
Mike Warren
it is indeed not used very much, but it was more a proof of concept, an experiment if you will.
seems like an experiment of something that does not work.
Mike Warren
but it is working.., It could be used, but It is not the most efficient of his kind
And I like how you keep talking about education, really goes well with the situation.
Excellent garden sprinkler!
A lot of stupid people come here just to put their bad coments. They're ar smart enought to see this turbine is able to watering the plantation on a farm at the same time that it will generate energy.
All it's doing is converting energy that's already there. It's not different than a hydroelectric turbine. The real energy is coming from the water pressure from the water companies water pump or gravity fed water tower.
Phillip Mulligan What is the point of this comment
My city's water pressure is really high. if i take this tesla water turbine and apply it in a single tap and force all of the water "roll" through this tap how many volts will it create??? it would be a really nice thing to be applied in every tap in my city. Free electricity for every home i imagine
100 or 200 watts at least
+Johnathan Graves What you are proposing is for the City to use electricity to pressurize the water and pump it throughout its water distribution network. Then residents would connect hydroelectric generators to their taps and reclaim the energy? I would suggest you do some research in hydraulic losses in pipes and see that the water pumped through the pipes looses pressure with every bend and even along straight sections of pipe. Also, this does not take into account any mechanical inefficiencies in the turbine or the generator that would be attached. This would be a very inefficient way of transporting power, not to mention drastically increase the demand for fresh treated water in your City.
+Jay Trimble bullshit for wide use. for personal use and if the pressure is too high for you anyway, it might be a neat trick.
+Johnathan Graves If you are really interested in VOLTS, just rub a dry glass stick with a silk cloth - and you'll easily get tens of kilo-volts. Or use a step-up transformer after any (i.e. bicycle) generator. But the most fruitful approach is just to start learning basis of Physics - this will help you not to mix volts, power, energy, and etc...
+Johnathan Graves Power is measured in watts. Watts = Volts X Amperage. I would not suggest going through with your plan unless you enjoy paying taxes.
It's the principle that is important.
The energy that turns the turbine comes from the weight of the water from above.
I like the idea of perpetual motion even though it is unachievable, though some of them almost work but they all stop at some point in time.
oh crap Auto play was on
Bro. I think its leaking a bit...
Get real people...The focus of the contravariant sensor has a noncommunicative divergence in the region of the transfinite singularity, which leads us to the obviously falitious conclusion that the polarized proton flux will result in an erroristic phase imbalance in the region of the hypo-geomtric cantery. ♍ ♒ ♑ ♈ ♎ ♉
That's precisely what I was thinking! Geez!
Сам-то понял, что сказал!? о_0
Виктор Николаевич Ты кому они же тебя не понимают
thanks a lot, John Bob; I tried it your way and now my d--- is caught in the ceiling fan.
Tesla garden sprinkler.
Actually, many municipal water supplies are gravity fed. Water in artesian spring wells will come up with significant pressure as well.
okay so, for those people who keep saying 'water wasted' think of the input of water being from high pressure water (like from one side of a dam that has a strong current) and the output leading to a water treatment plant or a lake, etc.
i want one to put on my garden xD
And what is the point of this?
***** you really wouldn't need to "use kintetic energy already put into the water stream by somebody else" if you say took advantage of some generated hydraulic head, i.e. a storage tank or dam that was elevated in respect to the turbine.
Pasu suel Yes, they call that gravity.
Warner Athey said every male in an argument with their female partner.
kids in california could have drinken that water
+Mijova Kalaydzhieva in that case, waste more water please.
right kids in California are to entitled to drink just plain water..
Ask this to EVIAN and military groups
Drinken.... DRINKEN...
Trinken is german for drinking.
Now that is just great. You could hook up generator to it and the water would cool the generator. It would also short it out but it would cool it.

when you put your hand on her inner thigh😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 brhu you are talented i see.
this is amazing... how can you downvote it?
Great, now what's the point of it?
A demonstration of Tesla's turbine....
The good point of this turbines that speed can be varied by changing gap between plates, as well it can be stopped same way without any harm to rotor.
Yes, it is a very nice lawn sprinkler.
You've managed to demonstrate a sprinkler for watering the grass,you can get one at Wal-Mart and it works better than that, even though it's made in China.
It's a hose, brainiac.
Lawrence Zeng It's called hydroelectricity, it's been in use a long time.
***** If you're the person making this video, what are you talking? Vane design?
The efficiency is actually around 40%
Isn't it just water passing over a fan to drive the wheel,,,,,how is that special as ive seen water mills on side of houses for years in UK,,,,without water, you have nothing....
Its a bladeless construction :) Its not a turbine.
So force water in one end and direction and create an hole, logically the water will come out the hole in a circular motion. Same principle as the toilet. I still don't see any thing amazing about it.
Andy, why are you even stopping to look at this. You obviously have no idea what your looking at or talking about. Its great engineering. Go build something that can make yourself proud instead of pretending to know... Think outside the box, it takes less effort... Cheers
I wasn't pretending to knew anything or make out i am an engineer etc I just cannot see what's special hence me asking the question....We made items like this a school 30y ago,,we add pressure of water in one end and made a hole in the other end & added a fan,,,the water made the fan rotate...so I wasn't sure & I say it with pure honesty I didn't know how this was special..seemed to me same principle as a dam,,water goes past & rotate turbines,,,, itsnt it the same principle as water wheels next to houses years ago,,water passes,rotates wheel to they can use the power to grind oats etc.......
Andy always what you are missing is the novelty of the mechanism of action, the boundary effect as opposed to hydraulic pressure. You probably need to make less presumptions in life generally without first understanding what's involved.
Homes with municipal water could use this to generate electricity, re-capture the water and use it as normal with no power consumption to generate the electricity as municipal water supplies have already stored the energy in their water towers. Not sure what the rest of you folks are commenting on but you sound pessimistic and not very creative to say the least. Nice job making this tool and video!!
I'm just imagining renting a place with water but not electricity included and running this thing 24/7. How to annoy your landlord 101
THANKS - There are many small minds out there, they can not see anything and think of a use for it. With permanent magnets on the armature, a pipe to loose the waste water, pick-up coils we would have an electric generator.
That last remark shows how good you are at understanding language... (ohey grammar error in my own comment as well)
"like you['ve] never played with a hose." does not imply that it's something I've done recently. It just says that pretty much everyone has played with hoses at some point in their lives.
I usually don't like swearing in comments, but sometimes I just have to in order to make clear what I mean...
Restricting flow of exhaust water
Increase side of exhaust diameter to enable increase in water flow and therefore turbine speed
imagine a sprinkler system that could both water your grass and also charge your cell phone battery bank.
Its best on low flow applications and had its uses before modern alloys allowed for more durable turbine blades. Tesla turbines dont scale upwards that well when flow is increased and therefore are inferior to conventional turbines used in every steam(oil/nuclear/coal/solar) and water based powerplants at the modern age.
this can be a great water park idea. kinda like mist mode on a water hose
and kinda looks like a fire sprinkler
The nozzel on my garden hose does something very similar and my hose even leaks just like that gizmo. Big difference is I don't want people to invest in my garden hose.
make any difference whether I do (very rarely btw...) waste water or not, I just do sometimes because it's fun to play in a water beam. and once again. I don't even do that anymore, I only did that when I was a kid. Any water you waste in water rich places, simply evaporate, rain down sometime later, end up in the sewer or natural water bodies, get filtered again, and come out the tap again, it truly does not matter.
EMPs take down power by interfering with EMR for a brief moment, theoretically power can still be generated from generators, nuclear fission, etc. but the very electronics (transistors, transformers, etc.) that control energy distribution would be destroyed due to surges caused by EMPs.
another one of teslas great inventions that don't do shit.
Not hate, just a piece of constructive criticism. You forgot the outlet for your turbine, and your axel could have been a bit better sealed. Aside from that... You made an amazing example of a tesla turbine.
Cant believe my eyes. I had this idea one very late night. In Scotland you pay a one off flat fee for your water. If you could find a way to use the wasted water, such as hydroponics. You would be quids in. Coupled with a wind turbine and a solar arrray.
Разброс воды градусов на 100-110. В технике молодежи (Российский журнал) была описана машина с разбросом выше 180 градусов. вырывающейся поток вода вылетая из сопла огибал его и возвращался назад, при этом установка высвобождала воду естественно в вниз, к земле
pretty sure that the pressure being released by the long streams of water coming out is a definite sign of the water "not" giving up it's energy...
All the droughts and potable water problems and this guy proudly pours water from the tap to the ground.
The water cycle is a thing, this water would become rain
You should study that a lot before saying something like that.
Stick a propeller on the shaft, direct airflow, and discharge water upwards, add supports. Make it rain.
it's a small scale model to a design made by nichola tesla, it could replace many of the modern bladed hydro electric turbines.
You can see it wants to create the complete toroid of a field.(magnetic) Thus the hyperboloid config. Of course this is just water, but you demonstrated aether fluid dynamics right here. Only most won't catch it.
rain gutters might work fairly well, block off all the other gutters at the top and let all of it collect into 1 gutter and run this bad boy.
Can only imagine the potential without any leaks.
I'm sure there is a reason, but if you could force all of the "leaking" water back into a reservoir that the tap pulls from, could this be a potential perpetual motion machine? The tap would be forcing the wheel around and the water being forced out could maintain the pressure inside the reservoir. Or would the two pressures cancel each other out?
Ian Stratton prepetual motion doesnt exist.
I know that. But it doesn't exist, yet. It will once someone figures it out.
No because they are impossible. Physics doesn't allow it
you know the giant water turbines in hydro power plants that provide huge amounts of electrical power? this is a little bitty version... there are many places you could put one of these where it would be part of a system that worked for another purpose, all the while cranking a turbine to create power without wasting water.
awesome water sprinkler!
badass sprinkler!
If the disks are slightly warped all equal to each other and connected to each other so they spin at an equal rate, it would be posible to increase the efficiency and reduce the rate it needs to spin to gain such efficiency. Warping them in a wave form will also increase the surface area of the blades meaning you can use smaller blades. A little how a golf ball works. 🤔🤔🤔
cool sprinkler i like the little tractor type though.
Fluid dynamics!
Makes a damn good sprinkler
Guess with most things it's simple to get something spinning on its own, attach to something with friction like a Dyno is something else
Would be pretty handy in if you had a spring or lake at higher altitude in the mountains. Free energy!
this produces thrust, can be fitted with a propeller.
considering that psi is force/area and that the output is rotational... 0
it's rather easy to make a device to take a smaller pressure in and output a larger pressure, like a modified pressure exchanger, similar to how gears can take a smaller torque and convert it into a larger one.
a better question would be "what's the power out vs power in"
Hook this handy device to the inlet for your rvs toilet, and you can charge the battery every time you drop a deuce! Thanks Mr. Tesla
This is what I was looking for when I had an idea to use a rainwater harvesting system to generate electricity. Atleast enough electricity to be able to run a pump to give the system more water pressure. I wonder if the pump also forced the water through this device if it would take some of the load off of the pump. Either way pretty neat.
Change title to: Most expensive sprinkler ever made.
Congratulations on your re-invention of the sprinkler.
It's a water turbine. It creates kinetic energy by harnessing the current of the water and then be used to convert it into electricity.
Congratulations on building a water sprinkler. Might wanna fix those leaks in your next version.
Serious discussion is never wasted, it's educational if nothing else.
Tesla's turbine had a proclaimed efficiency of 95%, whilst regular turbines nowadays are at about 70% this is what makes this design so special. The problem is, you have low torque and the experiments that replicated the initial design could not attain the proclaimed 95%.
modern blade turbines have over 80% efficiency mate. They are one of the the most efficient mechanical machines we have. If Tesla turbine was so good than belive me it would be widely used for power generation, as the companies who run powerplants are always looking for better efficiency to make more coin:) Cheers.
The only diffirence is that they waste far more water than this gently done box, and you cant attach ENTIRE waterfall to go through hose. Ever though who planned the first waterfall electricity generator, which was built at Neagar waterfall?? Yep, it was tesla. The Russian waterfall electricity generator works diffirently, but is it because of its large size.
From static electricity, which being produced from friction of water.
Regardless, there's plenty of lost energy there. You want water to leave the turbine at low speed and with minimum pressure head. I designed a Turgo turbine in Africa last year about this size.
Y HASTA AHORA ESTAMOS COMPRENDINDIENDO A TESLA. QUE GRAN GENIO
You made a sprinkler good on ya mate.
Nice sprinkler.
Awesome Water wheel
It's the design of many flat disks using the boundary layer effect of the fluid that makes it a "Tesla" my good sir.
The description says: "1100 rpm, high torque, water gives up its energy efficiently."
But no data is provided. I suspect that this is actually a low efficiency use of water pressure.
