- Here we show our latest two stage Tesla Turbine.
We also have a new website you can visit and will soon be able to purchase new prototypes and view special content. iEnergySupply.com We will soon have model Tesla Turbines that you can purchase to help further our research and development for the production version of the Tesla combustion engine that could replace all engines in the world with a cheaper to produce and with the highest fuel efficiency today! Nikola Tesla claimed to achieve 10 hp with every pound of weight, that would mean your 500 lb engine would have nearly 5000 Horse power!!!!
As far as we know, no one has built Nikola Tesla’s British Patent 179,043 - Improved Process of and Apparatus for Production of High Vacua, which is the key to reaching 100% preformance. In the first paragraph of the patent he states, "In the development of power by thermodynamic prime movers, as steam engines and turbines, a low back pressure is essential to good economy, the performance of the machine being increased from fifty to one hundred per cent, by reducing the absolute pressure in the exhaust space from fifteen to about one pound per square inch. " - Nikola Tesla
In order to reach maximum efficiency with any turbine, piston, or jet engine, you must extract the maximum amount of heat energy from the system possible, and that means everything needs to run cool. Nearly all energy loss in today’s machinery exists in the form of heat. Others include unwanted mechanical and electrical vibrations that work against the proper function of the system, but are insignificant when compared to the energy lost in the form of heat and unburnt fuel. We have taken care of these issues with the help of Nikola Tesla.
The greatest forms of heat energy loss include friction from the many thousands of moving parts in the engine. We have reduced all moving parts in the engine to one.
Normally heat is viewed as a bad thing. This is no longer perceived as true.
Only when you add British Patent 179,043 - Improved Process of and Apparatus for Production of High Vacua to TESLA PATENT 1,061,206 TURBINE are you able to extract enough heat from the gasses under pressure to reach his 100% preformance mark and this has never been done before until now. See video • Extremely Efficient Te...
Note: This is an older design with blades. We will be changing them to disks in the next prototype as Nikola Tesla has advised, making the turbine even more efficient.
We now show how we can replace the internal combustion engine with only one moving part, as opposed to the thousands of parts normally required so you can see how that would drastically decrease the cost of production.
It's about time we moved away from the complicated and inefficient types of engines that we use to power our machinery! Please visit our youtube channel here.
We show how we can replace the internal combustion engine with only one moving part, as apposed to the thousands of parts normally required. Moving parts are responsible for many inefficiencies in today's engines. This is caused by heat loss from the friction they undergo during operation.

Where’s the Slo-mo Guys when you need ‘em? Impressive build and even more impressive ‘deconstruction’! Good luck with future projects.
Damn, I wish we could have got it on super slow motion!
Success will not be obtained without a little failure, that was awesome
Absolutely correct :)
As Adam Savage said "FAILURE IS ALWAYS A OPTION"
with out some holes in the walls
next time he will let without power the entire neighborhood
may the force be with him
i feel like trees were never meant to go that fast.
it makes me think of the old scare when cars were first being introduced and people said the human body would disintegrate if it went that fast.
Yeah its new for sure lol, I didn't know that!
Chehyst just so you know it's not the wood that was going fast the wood just made up the case it was the CD's glued on to their shaft that was spinning at such ridiculous speeds and predictively exploded.
@@michaelvaughn2287 You are correct, but I didn't use cd's for the rotor, I used lexan cut with CNC machine.
I think the figure quoted was 15mph as the destruction of the human body
Trees are meant to go fast. Proof? The DeHavilland Mosquito.
“It’s okay, I had full blast shields!” *piece of wood stuck into the drywall*. Nice work for it being made of wood and plastic, and that coil is powerful as hell. Excited to see the next phase, I’m trying to figure out a scenario for an off grid project in the future that could power a farm and machine shop with one of these running high pressure water.
You won't need high pressure water with our new system. Even below atmospheric pressure will do. Stay tuned.
Don't think you'll need to..tech coming can fit 8n a shoe box that can do that and more...
oh go steam either wet or dry your choice. youill be able to heat the house during the winter as well. as sell off excess power to the grid.
@cyntcynt ah, the idea has floated away, we’re doing solar and wind I think.

You will be big, wait until the world meets you.
Amazing work!!
A reminder to why safety is important.
precisely
@@iEnergySupply not even close to the dangers you faced but I still should have known better. ua-cam.com/video/DQAErEBDwGs/v-deo.html
Yeah it was a little off balanced. But superglue is still not the best to hold magnets to a flat disk.
Your work is really appreciable I am working on Tesla turbine
Please attach a LOAD to the generator, something which consumes CURRENT, not just measuring the 'open voltage'. A 1 Ohm resistor, or even short the outputs and measure the current. The 'back EMF', will drastically reduce the speed.
I have seen numerous 'free running' Tesla Turbines.
We just attached a generator to our latest turbine and powered a 1000w motor, although it did it's job the generator was unbalanced so most of the power was lost to vibration. We will soon attach it directly to the shaft to demonstrate the power, we will also show the motor's amp's and volts to show the turbines potential capabilities with solid numbers.
in a book i read on theory, the author tells a story about someone testing a prototype machine at a Vegas trade show with about 20 people looking on when the thing violently blew apart (no shields) and in a miracle no one was hit with shrapnel. the thing was made of metal and the author notes that had the creator understood theory, the device would not have utilized the materials the way it was done. Basically the man build a bomb which at speed would fail in amazing fashion.
we had a tesla turbine at the tech school where i got my degree in green energy but it had a regulator on the air flow to prevent over speed, however the top speed of that one might have done the same thing you got.
i'm glad you are proactive and stayed safe.
Daaaaamn! them small pieces of plastic sure carries alot of energy.
Yeah for sure!
That turbine just grenaded!
*hmm following thought all the way*
Sooo... a clamshell of brittle steel, integrated nozzle, the turbine, a CO2 cartridge. That is flak, charge, initiator, timer all in one... a mech'anade.
@@CharlieSolis As with all inventions... it will soon enough end up in the hands of military and/or other assorted insane people =o)
@@CharlieSolis 😁
Crazy! There must have been some intense pressures.
As much pressure as a 1/4" piece of wood can handle that was the thickness of the first stage. Remember though the pressure is reduced by the second stage so not much pressure can build up in the turbine other then the periphery of the first stage sidewalls. Not as much as you would think. The inlet was 1/2" wide by 1/32" thick. The main problem was the rotor shifting and making contact with the side walls, this caused it to rapidly heat up and make the plastic soft. The explosion was from the rotor breaking and sending that kinetic energy into the casing of the turbine.
Why don't you make the walls rotate too?
That was amazing. Glad you had the knowledge to put up some protective barriers. I could see myself getting hurt with that. I NEVER would have thought that you would have had a catastrophic failure like that. It was so well built. Wow!
Yeah, I'm glad I was prepared for for the failure haha
Well built..with wood.
LOL
Is there a way to measure the speed / pressure of air coming out? I hope you can receive hundreds of aluminum disks (aluminum hard disk drives) as a gift for the various tests. Finally, after so many years, new, interesting and impressive experiments with the tesla turbine. Good job!
Agreed. Aluminum platters from old hard drives would be the way to go.
Dude hard drives would be perfect
Doesn't suggest e-waste recycling for said hdd platters....
These Tesla turbines are great and have not been used enough. The question is not how much power they generate but what is the power generated vs what power it took to create the compressed air. IMHO these turbines are best suited in water fall situations.
@@niteknight265
Tesla turbines have been in use for a long time.
Usually in the opposite way as a pump for liquids.
But not for generators, as mankind has no material that can withstand the massive centrifugal forces.
Modern turbines achieve efficiencies of over 90%, in order to achieve these efficiencies in the "industrial" framework with a Tesla turbine, the disks would have to rotate at their outermost end at a speed of more than Mach 10.
Even the most powerful titanium alloys are too weak for this.
This is a risk you took when making it out of wood..
You should run your turbine in a vacuum pump configuration. that is where tesla turbine really becomes interesting. Nobody ever tests the maximum vacuum that can be achieved but it should be really high.
Funny you should mansion that! We have been working on that and have recently done it. We are fixing vacuum leaks and building custom turbine for this purpose.
Great video! I feel the issue was as the RPM increases the air travels around the housing more times taking longer to escape through the exhaust. At this point the back up of exhausted air with a continual supply causes the wooden housing to become a pressure vessel. Well done to get 40000 rpm, looking forward to see the CMC version maybe with a slightly larger exhaust and inlet. An even bigger well done to look after your own safety and use protective glass.
Gosh, what you said is exactly what we did, now we are getting these speeds with 1/100th the pressure using carbon fiber disks. It's getting better and better.
Will create a much bigger & violent explosion...
No. That is not why it exploded.
porque einstein jajajjaa@@Knight3rrant
I can imagine Tesla actually doing the same thing during his trial runs. He did try over and over again to make it safe, resulting in bigger wheels and lower rpms. In the end Tesla somewhat gave up when he couldn't find a strong enough material.
Yeah I agree, it's important to test for failure no matter what you do.
titanium is the strongest that we know so far. but when u get into the plastic alloys then itill become interesting..
Absolutely brilliant. As it was said in Flash Gordon. "You crazy old bird". You made an old man very happy!
Awwww, thank you! I am flattered. Have you seen our new content?
I'll check your channel. Hold on to your tail feathers!
Well guys as you know Turbines and flywheel can handle big power. Keep having fun. Imagine a dragster powered by a flywheel of Tesla design. Loads of noise. Burning rubber and immense unsurvivable speed. Awesome. Should go viral.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And your turbine "looked" very solid and strong!!!
The power of the Tesla Turbine is amazing!
Keep pushing hard on your R&D... we know that you're onto something BIG because as you know so well, a lot of Mr. Tesla's plans and R&D are missing... and when researchers went to the museum in Belgrade... THEY WOULDN'T LET THEM LOOK AT TESLA'S DOCUMENTS!
Something very very very fishy is going on... and I believe his research was stolen because, just like his AC, he invented something even MORE SPECTACULAR WITH HIS TURBINE!
Amen
Retired, Veteran
I won't stop! Thanks for the words of encouragement. I totally believe the stuff is being hidden from us!
@@iEnergySupply Amen Jeremiah!!!
I've watched almost all of your videos at least THREE TIMES EACH and from what I can see, you have the "heart of a lion" and the dedication and commitment of Tesla... and that's what it's going to take to make the major breakthroughs that will "take you to the top!"
We want your first working system for our planned retirement home in NW Montana... so we can power everything and charge our batteries!
As soon as things start to happen for you... you'll probably be a billionaire... so don't forget us retired folk!!!! ha! ha! : )
PS: I'm also doing my R&D on the Stirling Engine so we could possibly attach it to a wood boiler and pump the heated water through our foundation for our A-Frame Solarium/Sun-room/Greenhouse Home AND generate energy at the same time (similar to the units that they've made in Switzerland but they're for commercial clients!)
But, you're work looks more promising!
Amen

You can't even see any frames of it coming apart, one moment is screaming along and the next the turbine is just gone, crazy!
gosh a high speed camera would be so nice!
I could tell from the noise that this turbine wasn't going to go real fast - too much vibration. What a great demo of the power of that turbine though. Too bad you broke your speed sensor in the process.
@@nikola.tesla.r.and.d.centre Yeah I would say that was fast!
The first thing i see needs a big change---Tesla would NEVER have used the term "BILLIONS of DOLLARS!" Well done!
Is it crazy that the money number for these is about 70,000-80,000 rpms? At this rpm the system quiets down and is running nearly at 90% efficiency.
Close but it depends on the periphery speed of the rotor. The greater the circumference of the rotor, the greater the periphery speed per RPM. It's high periphery speed that brings out the efficiency of the machine. Generally the higher the rpm the faster the periphery although the periphery speed is dependent on the rpm times the circumference of the rotor/disks. In this case we achieved the highest periphery speed we know of, and the efficiency was much greater then we have ever seen.
Team member 1 :"We should shield it because it might explode."
Team member 2 :" Yup, I know just what to use!" *Brings out glass panels
*expload 🤣
That explosion was no joke.
There was a company that started designing Tesla turbine a pump, and the first product was to be a windshield wiper fluid pump for cars. They worked with Silicon Nitrite for turbines, for the high temperatures and strength, but went out of business. They wrote a book.
Well you definitely did the destructive testing portion of your research. About 70% of the rpms you got that caused failure would be the max safe range for your design. Impressive to say the least. Make smaller ones out of aluminum and they would make awsome air driven ultra high speed milling bit tool holders.
since then we have switched to ballet proof plastic, and carbon fiber, our new speed for operation is 1400 miles per hour.
@@iEnergySupply mph.... 1400.... vroom vroom...
wood. and turbine. words that should never be next to each other, good luck on upgrading
Wow, what a great lesson to learn and live through. Thanks for sharing your experience. Good luck with your experiments!
Thank you!
I liked how you could barely contain your glee at blowing up a TT
Yeah was sad and exciting at the same time lol.
@@iEnergySupply Love your content, got a new subscribe from me, keep it up!!
I think everyone should give a thumbs up for the sacrifice alone. 👍
You need to look up Frank Germano's research into it, use nitronic steel plated with a boron carbide buffered to extreme smoothness for the discs and a stainless steel, hastelloy, nimonic, or brightray superalloys for the shaft and housing.
THAT IS if you're going for strength, heat resistance, and stress resistance.
Yeah, ill do that. We definitely need to build a metal turbine now! Ill take a look at his research.

@@iEnergySupply I'd also try to find out and see if he still builds them or not as well, if he does, maybe a partnership could be formed..?
Who knows.
As an engineer, that was entirely predictable. But keep up the good work!
Now you know why I had blast Shields haha
That’s the most awesome and scary thing I’ve ever heard in my entire life
Yeah it was exhilarating, and scary! Thanks!
A note. The picture you have in the beginning (0:04) is not a two stage Tesla Turbine, but shows 2 independent Tesla turbines running in opposite direction with a torsion string between them in order to measure the break horse power they develop between them. Also the Tesla turbine must be made out of steel and be operated with steam, everything else is quite a sub efficient design.
The Tesla turbine is designed to run on many different fluids. You can also run combustion with the Tesla turbine if done right, this we will show in the future with a metal rotor.
Would you please link a reference of the information you have provided, I am really curious to read about it.
@@iEnergySupply The information can be found in the printed book ( also can be found in pdf format ) "A New dimension for Power" (www.tfcbooks.com/mall/more/335te.htm) , it is a collected articles form 1910-1920 with Tesla's interviews and explanation about his turbine. It is an excellent read not only for the Tesla turbine, but also to a glimpse at the way Tesla wast thinking. The other way of looking at Tesla's way of thinking is reading his articles, patents and "Colorado Springs Notes 1899-1900", all of them are excellent read, but you have to immerse yourself in the 19-the century way of thinking as otherwise they are not an easy read. Also take a look at the channel of Don Schmidtke, as arguably, at least in my opinion, he is the most advanced researcher in looking, in the proper way, at the Tesla Turbine:: ua-cam.com/users/ourhouseisfull11videos
Interestingly the Tesla Turbine, with its characteristics as an efficient thermodynamic generator, driven with steam, to convert the energy of the standard fossil fuels to heat and transform it efficiently to mechanical motion, input to onboard electric generator, and its low mass to output power ratio appears to be the optimal way of building the cars driven with an electric motor as a drive engine and small, on board, battery pack.
@@EfficientEnergyTransformations Thank you so much for the links!
@@nikola.tesla.r.and.d.centre Do you have any material that support your theses?
What does it mean to have a second stage? What advantage is gained?
The second stage lowers the back pressure in the turbine. Here is what Tesla says about it. n the development of power by thermodynamic prime movers, as steam engines and turbines, a low back pressure is essential to good economy, the performance of the machine being increased from fifty to one hundred per cent, by reducing the absolute pressure in the exhaust space from fifteen to about one pound per square inch. " - Nikola Tesla
Thank you!
Wow... Just about 38K at the failure point.... That's pretty impressive given the materials. I'll be interested to see something like titanium for the rotor vs steel.... for efficiency testing and such
ua-cam.com/video/oVjMJkABboM/v-deo.html Here we get 150000 RPM With carbonfiber.
That packed a whallop. Thank heavens you weren't injured by that. A lot of energy was released.
This reminds me of the Tesla earthquake machine on explosion. One challenge about this turbine is the material for the discs. The more we go infinitely flat, the more we expose them to warping, creeping and eventual damage as experienced by Tesla. However, in this case, the wooden housing didn't give the required protection as well so yeah, it was a housing fault but with a nice output connection whose resistive errors can be ignored for demonstration purposes
absolutely, it's all a learning process.
Fully sent that one. Love your work and the way you just giggled after it split. Did you leave the part in the wall as a trophy? LOL
lol just gonna send it!
@@iEnergySupply that's the best way to test it. Find the weak link and resend. Love your work. I wish you was in Florida so I could pick your brain. Keep up the great work. Look forward to future updates on this project. Rock on.
this would be a great kit for college or even late high school learning cnc milling and work on turbines and boundry layer for for a diy at home
Agreed!
That's exactly what I thought. An electric load on the generator would have been nice to get a light or boil a cup of water. Anyway great work to be proud of.👍
Imagine if your friend had been sitting on that couch.
Great video , I’m glad you had shields up but even more glad that you know WHY you use them even if there’s not an explosion every time.
Have a great day
Safety is the number one priority.
Damn buddy!!! 35k is enough lolololololololol! Wow! Keep building. That was a hell of a piece of work.
Thanks! It definitely took more time than rest of the Turbines there was a lot of sanding And painting that gloss.
Self destruct mode activaded
Yeah bummer we couldn't test the generator more, shortly we will be finished with the new turbine and do more testing with it. The generator is ok.
2:06
Are these your exhausts? Tesla turbines get their incredible efficiency from the exhausts being in the middle by the shaft bearings, so that the air has to fight the incredible centripetal force to get out, turning the turbine in the process.
there is a turbine, a regular turbine in the center, then there are two pumps on on each side of the turbine that evacuate the pressure in the center of the turbine.
How does the compressed air flow through the secondary turbines ? I would like to know more.
Please turn the explosion part into it's own video! Not just because it's cool. But more of a PSA for showing the kind of destruction that happens when one of these fails. Sure, it's a wooden one past its limits. But imagine if that had been a metal construction failure 😲
Not being negative Nancy! Looking at my own experiments with it & just feel it's an important bit of footage.
Keep up the AMAZING work!
That's a good idea, a safety video. The metal ones can't explode though, but only when the tolerance of the side walls is close enough for the material used. I put a 1/64" gap between the periphery of the rotor and the casing circumference. The rotor stretches with centrifugal force to break the rotor(not explode the rotor.
😱😯😲 rapid unscheduled disassembly 👏👏
Actually it was scheduled lol one of my supporters wanted to see what would happen and offered to pay for the damages.
@@iEnergySupply 😆🤣😂😁
Good thing you had that partial "blast shield", otherwise you might have had a problem with shrapnel not escaping.
Indeed. Good planning on his part. You could make a solid enclosure but I would go with a much larger one--say a 2x2x2 foot cube. More space provides more time for the shrapnel to spread out more over a larger area before impacting the shield.
Tesla St. Nick would be proud.
Shields up! Red alert!
hahah yep
This could revolutionize electricity production
One of the more interesting, vanishing tricks I’ve seen in a long time. Well done.👍🏻
If you dont mind me sayin.....Man, that was f***in cool!
That explosion was worth the wait. Thanks for this not being clickbait. Good job.
No comments needed! Awesome man 👍👍❤️💪🏻🦾🇳🇱
Wow! That's crazy! That thing was beautiful too
Thanks, yeah lots of work went into it. Wood actually takes more care then plastic.
Titanium would be the best material to use for the discs. I am sure there is a company out there who would gladly manufacture some for you if you give the measurements you want. The housing could be aluminum and there wouldn't be any problems.
Your correct about the titanium, although it is really expensive. There are grades of aluminum that preform in the same ball park for much cheaper price. I would love to build a titanium rotor if we could afford it. We are definitely going to build one with an aluminum casing as well.
That could have been fatal if you were in that room.
Good job on the blast shields and staying TF out of that room while doing that test!
007
Haha yeah, I knew the dangers. Could have been easily fatal
that was friggin awesome!!you're doing good work here.thanks!
Progress with metal. Metric helps for accuracy. A burst like this should not happen again. Keep safe and keep making ;))
o yeah, my new turbines have been tested many times with bullet proof plastic, this is no longer a hazard.
Please be careful, those oil companies will shut you down. All I want to know is where can I buy one so I can get off the grid forever?
We are working hard to make it commercially viable, before the hole system is complete, we will have turbine products available soon at iEnergysupply.com
I was also trying to build a tesla turbine out of I'm using CD disks as turbines. I'm a beginner. I broke it accidentally while cutting the wood. But i will try it oncr again later.
Good luck!
@@iEnergySupply thank you
gosh, you could hear that internal failure compounding in oscillation, that explosion was almost easily preemptable...
yeah, we were doing a test for a friend that wanted us to go supersonic, he offered to pay for the damages.
yeah that was probably the cd's expanding with the g force, happens a lot
came to see something exploding, not disappointed!
haha Thanks!
Explosion may be caused by Weight balance issue ! Great works anyway. Keep up with metallic component.
Good guess, although I believe the rotor shifted, the balancing company dropped the rotor and the shaft bent, sadly, so he balanced it with a bent shaft, the shaft couldn't be centered correctly and there wasn't enough room for the rotor collars to center the shaft. I believe it hit the side walls at 35k rpm and rapidly heated up causing the centrifugal force to break the rotor apart once it became hot due to the friction.
It is mostly blowing up because of reaching a critical rpm, what means the frequency of rotation (imbalance) reaches the resonance of the system and exites waves in it, that flex the material so fast and far that it breaks. so using stiffer or thicker rotor plates would allow higher max. Rpm... till reaching the centrifugal limit of the material :)
Stay safe, keep on =)
You are correct, it wasn't balanced that well. we are no longer blowing turbines up, I mostly did this video for a safety video, and it was exciting and took a lot of work. If you use week materials for the turbine casing it can't stop the rotor with a breaking force when it stretches and hits the side wall as shown here, also the lexan rotor quickly melts allowing space for further stretching. I actually got one of these to go 49000 rpm, and made two kw but it quickly braked it'self before exploding and everything was good accept for the rotor.
@@iEnergySupply thats really high for plastic (polycarbonate?) discs man :) cds are likely blowing at 23k did you find some relyable burst rpm data for metal discs, if you would make the same size rotors from stainless how high would they go? Maybe somehow dampen it so they dont ring.. Connect them plates with a bridge? .. I think another effect is the air it self that goes over the surface will make standing waves like with wind over watersurface :)
Another idea will be using ripplets in your turbine housing to reduce visco friction and surface turbulence,, will give u a gain of 10% if done right, ripplets must be finer for higher speeds.. They covered planes with that foils.. i think u could produce that surface on a good lathe with a sharp cooled tool =)
@@sonnenklang6925 We will be using carbon-fiber next! We can get way higher rpm with carbon-fiber. I haven't tested the failure point of the stretching of the disks with metal yet.
@@sonnenklang6925 Something to try in the future for sure. For now, the vacuum from the pump reduces the turbine by decreasing the pressure in the exhaust space.
Looks like rotor resonance shattering
I believe so.
What's up with tachometer? Is it destroyed?
Sadly it is, it still works but you can barely read the rpm.
i like how tachometer immediatly dissapeares when it explodes
yeah I liked that too lol!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing brother!
9/10 mythbuster fingers agree, blast shields are the best! The other finger couldn't be found for questioning...
When something blows, its goood😄
yep, you always learn something haha
.... till it happens in your face...
Oh Shiver me timbers !
haha
WOW that is crazy power
The stator was unbalanced , the scary bit is when a rotating object is out of balance by the weight say 5gm that 5gm is squared every 1000 RPM and your turbine was doing what RPM ?
lol explode ... nice video anyway
i am working basic tesla tubine in nature wind for generator
Yeah my brother pointed that out as well, embarrassing lol.
Видео надо было назвать: "Как сделать из турбины Теслы осколочную гранату"
ahahahah yeah
More than a hundred years ago, Tesla invented an engine so powerful that even today's most advanced material sciences can't keep it from blowing itself apart from the sheer power its capable of producing.
the video you learned that from made some big mistakes in their math. The video says the rotor must spin at a very high rpm, maybe 50,000 for a 6” turbine. The speed of a turbine is based on periphery speed not rpm. If a 6” turbine needs to spin 50,000 rpm to be efficient like the video says, that’s a periphery speed of 890.1 Miles per hour. If you want a 3 meter disk to achieve close to 891 miles per hour at the periphery, the rpm required is only 7,253. We have materials that can easily reach that speed.
@@iEnergySupply reach it yes, but can they sustain it?
@@Beef1188 There are tesla turbines in use today professionally. Nikola tesla had one in the edison company run on steam that put out 600 horse power.
@@iEnergySupply so how come it isn't in more widespread use?
@@Beef1188 Energy is more valuable without the tesla turbine. Here is an example, light bulbs are designed to wear out far before they need to. It's to make more sales, if your lightbulb lasts forever then the companies selling you the lightbulbs won't make as much money. We have technology to make lightbulbs last forever, but we don't use the technology. Same with the tesla turbine.
very exciting
U R GREAT. I WISH I COULD DO EXPERIMENTS LIKE THIS!
BIG HUGS!
Thank you! Maybe some day you can do experiments like this.

NICE technique!
You need to put loads on the generator to see if it can work in real life applications? And the spinning speed can be slow down

This guy: "Shut up!"
what pressure is the supply at 5000rpm (48V), and do you know the current output at that voltage (watts)
ua-cam.com/video/MkGAKqG2qvU/v-deo.html This video is way better, see what you think. More details
I'd make it smaller, MUCH smaller perhaps, since the reason why the Tesla Turbine failed in the 1st place was because no material at the time of its invention could handle the full potential of the turbine, at the sizes that were being tested. Therefore, perhaps the answer was scaling it bigger not in size, but in sheer numbers of smaller sizes?
With higher rpm's it's possible to achieve higher efficiency's. At the moment, we have reached 150000 rpm and that's 1400 MPH. We will see what efficiency's we can get with these numbers soon. You are correct about the larger turbines being easier to use achieve higher efficiency's though.
oh my god that is so fast! i love it!
I wish I had a high speed camera.
I wish I could find a CAD wizard that would want to partner on trying to design a tesla turbine and build a legit one for high speeds and try using big panels filled with refrigerant and/or other kine gases/propellants/etc and use the passive heat from the panel to heat the gas and then compress it with the turbine.
Actually high speed is fun and all but it's rather useless when compared to high torque which can be done with a Tesla turbine because you need torque to turn a motor or generator so the greater the torque the greater the power out put .
Awesome, really. Keep up the good work, never give up
Thanks a lot!
Love the epic music! I feel like I am part of a NASA launch team that is going interstellar for the first time. Ok, I am definitely off subject, sorry.
I made an internal combustion engine out of wood, kind of like this one. The combustion part was a problem.
a question, what measure does the separation of the discs?
the ideal for a 4" turbine is 1/64"
Nice experimental concept, wood and CD discs are available and not expensive, but why did you just turn the air pressure on and off at full line pressure. You should have used the gate valve on the copper supply line at half open, then gradually experiment with the compressor line regulator that was turned all the way down to zero, this way you can control the turbine's tendency to overrun once it is spun up. Turning it on from an open-closed gate valve is not enough control.
Tesla did his experiments from the basement of a building heated by a wood boiler, in order to make it available to any such building with any available power. His method also had catastrophic RPM speed overrun that caused material failure and melted bearings.
Better luck next time. Thanks for posting this video, it may help a lot of experimenters in the future.
This was a supersonic attempt for a friend. When built and run properly, there is no risk of overrun.
@@iEnergySupply The overrun that I am expressing incorrectly is the device ability to reach insanely high revolutions beyond the stress limits of the materials. This was one of the things that Tesla experienced in his first model, insane RPM''s that are beyond the needs of the turbine or the generator can be characterized as overrun. There is never a reasonable need to rev these over 5,000 RPM, there is nothing made that requires it or can stand being cranked that fast. This is one of the reasons the 10,000 RPM+ exotic and other race cars do not have alternators or water pumps, they run on a battery sufficient for the race for cooling and power if it's needed.
Are you going to have a new video on the fully functioning version that explains your process?
Have a good day.
Nice job! Turbine build looks good, However, generating voltage is not the purpose. Think of a generator as a device that transports torque. The torque it takes to turn the generator is transmitted across wires to turn a motor. Amps is the preferred terminology. It is also the cause for having larger turbines and generators. To move more torque. The turbines today develop torque at 900, 1800 and 3600 RPM's, respectively. This is because of the Frequency that the USA uses. That is 60 Cycles per second. The 60 Hz is developed by the number of segments in the generator. once the generator is "synchronized" with the grid, 60Hz, the turbine is then allowed to drive the generator at full torque. This drives the current. The RPM's can never exceed the 60Hz, or the 900, 1800 or 3600 RPM no matter how much torque is developed. The voltage in a 3 phase generator is adjusted with what is called an "exciter". That is used to maintain the voltage at the desired delivery voltage to the transformer that either steps up the voltage or drops the voltage to be used in our homes. Will the Tesla Turbine develop the current when it is at 900, 1800 or 3600 RPM? IE, how efficient is the Tesla Turbine when it is spinning at those RPM's? Would love to see that experiment. And will the Tesla turbine work with steam? Using compressed air means that I also meed a LARGE compressor to deliver the air. That means I need either a LARGE electric motor or a combustion engine to drive the compressor. Keep up the great work you are doing! A turtle never gets anywhere until it sticks it's neck out! Truly enjoyed your video.
Incredible! I assume nobody was injured.
I bet even a littlebit of load would have helped it to last longer.
We don't need it to spin dangerously fast. We need it to turn consistently powerfully . . . .
Don't you think?
Awesome demonstration by the way ;)

Blessings:)
Yeah this was done for a friend, he wanted me to go supersonic, it was a failed attempt, but we did manage to get supersonic speed safely afterword's. Here is the video. ua-cam.com/video/oVjMJkABboM/v-deo.html
no the materials used will burst even with a load, it is the design that need high end materials with perfect even and perfect balance of every blade and housing internals. There is no way someone can build a supersonic Tesla turbine at home.
What do you think about building out of Alon which is transparent aluminum. It's stronger than steel lighter and easier to machine.
It comes precast in tube or flat sheet.
It would help reduce the weight of your machine to meet your spec of 10 horsepower to one weight ratio.
I've seen suppliers for it online it comes in any thickness you want. Believe it can be machined or CNC.
today we are using carbon fiber. We got almost two times the speed of sound at 1400 MPH
U of Maryland found that by taking the lignin out of the wood and compressing it and heating it, the wood becomes 3 times stronger than steel. Or something.
