Look into the inner workings of the Stirling motor... Then contemplate what happens when you make radiators with coolant, and then contemplate what happens when you "decompress" heated coolant using a compressor on the opposite end of what you'd expect one to be. A heat gathering device of epic proportions? Surely there's got to be a key where hyper efficient pressure mediums can siphon heat and pressure differences in a super compact way.
Call the new printer R2-Eta, because that is what you need to 'improve' that Tesla Turbine. The coefficients of determination to efficiency for whatever your salient parametrics might be. (Hopefully not curious turbulent inlets driven by handheld shop-air nozzle with large inconsistent velocity vectors & profiles.) How about some parametrics related to the boundary-layers on the rotor disk:pack surfaces. Possibly controlling and measuring the inlet & exhsust pressures (and temperatures if getting high power extraction), will add some further independent variables to the efficiency map. Where it's most efficient, may be far from where it's producing a high output. The magic is to optimize power and efficiency. Uniform flows across the width of the disk pack as well as the effective Reynolds No. from OD to ID. Is another head scratcher. Hey, here is a thought, why not just power the TTT, measure the power and speed, and the now dependent inlet and outlet flows and pressures. Explore its performance. Gee, wondering if disk surfaces are better with Tesla valves instead of just simple spaces? (... so don't be an Isaac (fig) Newton barber and cut me out if it twerks :),
I like how real you are about the process. Some of the creator experimenter youtubers cut out their mistakes and imperfections as if that’s not an important part of the learning process- or they’ll make everything in their 50 thousand dollar shops with equipment we don’t have access to. Like, I got a 3d printer but I don’t have room for a bandsaw or machining equipment in my studio apartment lol
by showing the mistakes u did, it really encourage me a lot. as a student of engineering department, i am afraid of making mistakes while doing my personal projects. and this thought has bothered me for a long time.. but, after noticing that even u, a far more experienced and skilled master compared with me, may also make some funny mistakes and even dare to admit it to your audience, it really boosts my courage and encourages me on designing my own models as well as trying to print it out without any useless worries. thanks a lot ~~
I also appreciate showing the mistakes and problems found along the process. It motivates people to keep failing until you become successful. Iteration brings you closer to your objective, but persistance is the name of the game!

I love the Tesla Turbine. I love how he made the air fight against its own Conservation of Angular momentum by putting the air inlet at the point furthest from the spinning circles and the outlet right at the center, so the spinning air that wants so badly to go outwards cannot, it has to exit at the center, so it just coils and coils and coils and coils, 100,000 rpm later it can finally exit the center lol. It's so cool
I remember learning about the Tesla turbine and how one of the biggest drawbacks was the amount of warpage of the disks over time due to the high speeds and how modern composites like kevlar and carbonfiber can eliminate this drawback
This is not an issue because Tesla turbines don’t need to be spun crazy fast like everyone erroneously claims. You just have to to know how to design it correctly. Every fluid, gasses and liquids, can be made to flow in highly efficient low Reynolds’s numbers laminar flow regimes.

Why not stagger the holes on each disc so when they are assembled they make a helical path through the discs for the exhaust. If you do this I think you can take advantage of some of the surface area inside the walls of the holes and introduce turbulence that could increase friction between the discs.
A hollow shaft with openings in the 2/3 farther the main exit and a centrifugal exit in the shaft to make a lower pressure in the center, It may help the flow but not sure about air viscosity inside the shaft.
@@sugarbooty Tesla has a special balancing apparatus patent for this, patent 186,799. He also has an improved disc stack construction patent GB 186,082 that he patented 10 years later after the first patent that does away with these difficulties and makes it so the turbine doesn’t need to be balanced 1 disc at a time.
@Integza: please use gloves and safety glasses when you're handling resin and the parts, that stuff is dangerous. For the record I've got a large FDM (HEVO 290x290x750mm) and a small sla Nova3d elfin) printer myself and the Elfin prints are very good if you don't forget to add resin in the middle of the print.
Hi. I am a Nikola Tesla fan, and in my bachelor's grad in mechanical engineering I build a Tesla Turbine, made by hard drive discs, and a boiler to produce 1MPa of saturated steam.. we also coppling a small generator to mensure the efficiency.. if you want, I can show you the results.. this is a very interesting device.
Little tip, if you clamp a straight edge, or piece of straight timber, to your table saw, you can run your work piece along it to cut straighter lines.
fun fact vapes and smoke machines operate essentially identically, just a matter of scale (ie vaporization of propylene glycol using resistive heating elements).
@@maxk4324 As Steve mentioned, forget the propylene glycol, stick with vegetable glycerine, its clean, doesn't have any potential negatives and produces a vapor that if flavored with natural flavors, smells like candyfloss :D
Vape would be better. Pure VG will give you the most vapor production. This is coming from someone that has been vaping for over 5 years and makes his own e-liquid. I love those that chime in that vape is still unknown on long them affects, but are the same people that will take medication without questioning its side affects. Vaping has been around for a long time now. You know when it was hard and you had to know what you were doing instead of using a piece of crap Juul.
Man.... 1st off, you rock..obviously . 2nd thanks for these intelligent yet dumbed down enough for nerds like me to understand, videos! Especially on tesla. I live right near Niagara Falls where teslas power plant triumphantly whirls...... lighting the way for this message.
UncopyrightableMuzik most of human knowledge at your fingertips and you ask your question here. The dimples on a golf ball reduces its turbulent wake, allowing the golf ball to have less drag than a smooth ball. If you had used your brain and 15 seconds you would have the same answer as I by simply typing: why does a golf ball have dimples?
The whole advantage of Tesla’s turbine design is that rather than collision molecules, it uses the attraction between them to pull the discs parallel to the propellant. The way to improve efficiency then, is to make the discs thinner, smoother, and closer together. Different gasses and liquids, and disc materials can be tried as well.
I've came here after Tom Stanton's eject of the Tesla turbine solution, which I'm in love. I'll try to make some money to prove he is so wrong thinking that the Tesla turbine is not an option, cuz it is! But first of all we have to read 3 times per day, at least 1 week the Tesla's patent for a better understanding of the calculations that have to be made in such a simple and natural arrangement as his turbine/pump. PS. I really need that 3D printer :D!!!
Turbines used in internal combustion engines {and as a pump design in general) have a similar shape to the volute pump. Tesla seemed to be more focused on the specific implications of the internals he designed to work with the volute casing. Most exhaust driven turbos/turbines have something similar to the volute casing with standard bladed propellers but that's essentially the main similarity.
@@monjier a tesla turbine can build a insane amount of RPM, have 97% efficiency and as less turbulence issue but have a very poor torque, I don't know exactly what is the objectif of a turbo, if couple with a rocket style nozzle theoretically it can be extremely powerful but it need real testing to be proved
@@monjier it also depend on material of the disks, more rough the material is more contact can be made with the gas and more propulsion and torque the actual best can be carbon nanotube, it's extremely rough (at a nanometric scale), it's extremely light and it's resistant as heck but it's clearly not for homemade propeller (for obvious reason) so the best in realistic case can be to make the disk catchy and rough manually (or with a machine), basically scratching to death all the disks.
@@samoneill4750 you want smooth. Boundary layer drag is not from Mechanical Interactions between the fluid and the disc. Adding grooves will introduce turbulent losses which will reduce the efficiency and can induce stream separation, and even flow reversal, counteracting the desired torque, because of the turbulent flow regime it would induce. The Tesla turbine works on adhesion from viscous forces, which are entire valance electron shell interactions. Think hydrophobic and hydroPHILLIC interactions. Making the surfaces of the discs hydroPHILLIC would increase the molecular adhesion of water and steam molecules increasing the boundary layer thickness. Putting mechanical impediments in the way of the free flow motive fluid completely defeats the purpose of the turbine in the first place. You want smooth faced discs. The “wetting angle” between the Type of material the discs are made of and the type of motive fluid is the important factor here.
If i understood well the differences in the new design and the normal design that you made, the former has a "de laval" nozzle (i. e. Convergent divergent nozzle) mounted in the better tesla design. I'll say that the main reason why you lose all those RPMs isn't the tesla design but that you used that nozzle. I want to give you some tips(if i'm right about the first design) , i think the problem with that turbine started in the moment you sad "with all the theory out of the way". First of all that nozzle is efficient only if you reach supersonic speed otherwise is useless. At subsonic speed the divergent part will slow the fluid(that is probably why you lose all those RPMs). You don't want turbines to work with supersonic velocities, and almost certainly that design is not meant to work with supersonic speeds. So i suggest you to try the new tesla design with the the normal nozzle, and if you want to compare the results the entry surfaces of the casings MUST be the same. If this isn't the cases than it is only strange that the better tesla design failed.
I think that tath could be a good idea. But i can sugest also to remove the central part of the discs, just to have a good comparison. I would also sugest to sandpaper the discs and use fins along it to direct the flow and not make it collide in the center. These fins can also be not paralel to the flow to make like an ibrid whit the conventional turbine and maibe get a higher torque output. These fins can also replace the spacers and help you to keep the discs stable also when they are a bit flexible because they are distributed around the surface, not only at the center. I think you have to reduce the whidt to increase the air speed in the inlet and increase, not too much, the diameter of the turbine to increase the leverage. In conclusion, to increase the performance the discs thickness is less important than the tickness of the space between them Hope that someone read this (hope also my english was good)
Unrelated to the Tesla turbine but your table saw, you need an edge that’s adjustable so the material has something to rest against, this will help stop the flexing in the blade as you cut because your trying to put even pressure with both arms at the same time. Love your vids keep em going!

I was using my wireless earbuds listening to this episode and heard “weed” instead of “wheat”. When he said grinding the weed I had to look at my phone to see what was going on here.
Hey Integza, your videos are amazing! It is enjoyable to watch you go through the steps of design to ultimately get a mechanism or part that does what you'd like it to all while explaining exactly what is working (and isn't). The use of graphics also works well to this point. Love your content!
First, let us remember that Edison touted DC while Tesla wanted AC. With that said, how do you achieve the 50 Hz or 60 Hz with a turbine that needs high speed. Once you start gearing things down you lose efficiency. This is the problem with the Tesla turbine. AC, in the US is regulated at 60 Hz. Or, with most generators, 3600 RPM, some at 1800. A generator can be defined as a machine that transmits torque. The torque it takes to turn the generator is transmitted on wires as current to a motor that turns the current in to torque. Just something to think about. Other than that, I absolutely love your show. Extremely coherent with the right amount of humor. Don't stop, live your dream.
What about adding a trio of shallow, tightly spiraling grooves on each disk that follows the airflow towards the center, and shape the turbine as a slight vortex cone
So at 3:22, the turbine is turning in the opposite way. I know, my bad!
I came in the comment section just to see whether anyone else noticed that.
Name it "Lady Janett"

The face you made at timestamp 12:32 - **PRICELESS!!** LOL - and I'm in TOTAL agreeance! 🤘😁
That flow was dope!
Informative Video👍🏻.
Name it ResiN4tor.
N4, because it is the Anet N4.
Mate, that table saw is hilariously genius! 😂
Dude finally has a sponsor :D
Demonstrate air flow by shortening lifespan, well done
Name her: Anet-to-Print (I need to print)
I know I am late to your channel, but I am loving it! Genuinely in my top 10. I also feel sure you will never read this but I have to try! I wish I lived near you, I am a finished carpenter loaded with a treasure trove of tools to do so. Not bragging, I would do any and all of your carpenter jobs free just to have access to your printers, laser cutters and your knowledge! I don't have the money to buy your tools, I like to barter, trade my knowledge, tools and experience of woodworking. I have old knowledge and tools, you have the new knowledge and tools. Anyway thank you for your knowledge and inspiration!
10:53 Man...I quit smoking seven weeks ago after 32 years. Halfway through the video and I'm licking my lips.
Stay strong my dude!
less smoking = more money for dicking around with 3d printers!
Seriously though, the mental triggers are hell. Drug can be LONG gone from your system, but an image, or place, or activity and.....
If you need to, take a nap it will curve the want and need. I know it's not accepted by most of people but it helps get it off your mind. Don't smoke bro my lung collapsed last October, how did you quit?
@@jacobkiser4661 -- Nicotine patches. The first 5-1/2 weeks were pretty hard. The association with coffee and beer was painful. It's a lot easier now.
I started out with 21mg transdermal patches and by the third week, I had to increase it by 10.5mg. Did that for about three weeks or so then went back to 21mg. I'll continue that for six weeks then go to 14mg for two weeks, then 7mg for two weeks.
I've quit before for shot periods of time. Never go "hey, one cigarette won't hurt", because you'll be smoking again in a few days. I miss it sometimes because it was part of my routine. Habits are difficult to break, but I'll get through it. I can breath easier and I don't suffer as much from obstructive sleep apnea, so I'm already seeing positive signs.
Good luck! Don't get sick amid this covid-19 crisis.
great video but I think the engine at 3:23 spins the wrong way?
Very well caught! I didn't do that specific animation. It is an animation from Wikipedia.
Someone is gonna get fired ahahah
@@integza animation is in context of jet engine and is correct, reuse in context of turbine got it on to wrong side
@@imagine3DIndia Is it? I think it's backwards also for jets, they push the air through.
@@imagine3DIndia It's still backwards. The airflow indicated by the arrows would turn the blades in the opposite direction show.
Are we just gonna ignore the epic rap that explains pressure and cyclones? Well done sir
Why not stagger the holes on each disc so when they are assembled they make a helical path through the discs for the exhaust. If you do this I think you can take advantage of some of the surface area inside the walls of the holes and introduce turbulence that could increase friction between the discs.
A hollow shaft with openings in the 2/3 farther the main exit and a centrifugal exit in the shaft to make a lower pressure in the center, It may help the flow but not sure about air viscosity inside the shaft.
Good luck keeping the vibrations down...
@@tinklanjscek2700 if they are balanced per disk there will be no problem
@@sugarbooty I think you're right, and I misunderstood the suggestion originally.
@@sugarbooty Tesla has a special balancing apparatus patent for this, patent 186,799. He also has an improved disc stack construction patent GB 186,082 that he patented 10 years later after the first patent that does away with these difficulties and makes it so the turbine doesn’t need to be balanced 1 disc at a time.
Greetings from Colorado Springs, Tesla's home for 10 years!
Did not expect the rap.. amazing stuff! =)
I mean the more I look at you, you kind of look like Tesla lol
confirmed. tesla reborn

Finally someone who appreciates nikola Tesla as much as I do
@Integza: please use gloves and safety glasses when you're handling resin and the parts, that stuff is dangerous. For the record I've got a large FDM (HEVO 290x290x750mm) and a small sla Nova3d elfin) printer myself and the Elfin prints are very good if you don't forget to add resin in the middle of the print.
it’s 4 am and i just watched an Italian guy make a tesla turbine and then rap about the ozone layer. WTF am i doing with my life
Meep Lol I honestly can't tell if he's Italian, French, or Russian.
Hi. I am a Nikola Tesla fan, and in my bachelor's grad in mechanical engineering I build a Tesla Turbine, made by hard drive discs, and a boiler to produce 1MPa of saturated steam.. we also coppling a small generator to mensure the efficiency.. if you want, I can show you the results.. this is a very interesting device.
I love this project bro! I think your doing a great job on improving this design bit by bit. Keep up the good work!
You should name the new printer "Grimes" since you know... The other one is Elon.
Keep up the great videos!
Little tip, if you clamp a straight edge, or piece of straight timber, to your table saw, you can run your work piece along it to cut straighter lines.
Name her Marie AntoineAnet :)
Love that one !
Hi DJ Dazwell! You might win a 3D printer!
Can you send me your info (address, zip code, name, phone number) to integza@gmail.com?
Using a vape instead would probably be more wise for the future.
fun fact vapes and smoke machines operate essentially identically, just a matter of scale (ie vaporization of propylene glycol using resistive heating elements).
@@maxk4324 yup, except it's the glycerine that makes the visible "smoke", the PG just gives the throat "hit".
What a stupid name for a printer
@@maxk4324 As Steve mentioned, forget the propylene glycol, stick with vegetable glycerine, its clean, doesn't have any potential negatives and produces a vapor that if flavored with natural flavors, smells like candyfloss :D
Vape would be better. Pure VG will give you the most vapor production. This is coming from someone that has been vaping for over 5 years and makes his own e-liquid. I love those that chime in that vape is still unknown on long them affects, but are the same people that will take medication without questioning its side affects. Vaping has been around for a long time now. You know when it was hard and you had to know what you were doing instead of using a piece of crap Juul.
Man.... 1st off, you rock..obviously . 2nd thanks for these intelligent yet dumbed down enough for nerds like me to understand, videos! Especially on tesla. I live right near Niagara Falls where teslas power plant triumphantly whirls...... lighting the way for this message.
Dude, love the accent and the enthusiasm lol
If the disc surface is smooth efficiency will be low, try a slightly textured surface.
If a textured surface, would provide more friction, then why does a textured golf ball go further than a smooth one?
UncopyrightableMuzik most of human knowledge at your fingertips and you ask your question here. The dimples on a golf ball reduces its turbulent wake, allowing the golf ball to have less drag than a smooth ball. If you had used your brain and 15 seconds you would have the same answer as I by simply typing: why does a golf ball have dimples?
Big brains
The whole advantage of Tesla’s turbine design is that rather than collision molecules, it uses the attraction between them to pull the discs parallel to the propellant.
The way to improve efficiency then, is to make the discs thinner, smoother, and closer together. Different gasses and liquids, and disc materials can be tried as well.
@@crimsonconductor2235 lol, triggered.
i love your flamboyant attitude, its so welcoming. Keep frosty bro!
Call the new gal ResiAnetta. She will fit right in with the others.
I'm new to your channel, but once you broke out into rap, I feel obligated to go through all your videos and give you a like.
I've came here after Tom Stanton's eject of the Tesla turbine solution, which I'm in love. I'll try to make some money to prove he is so wrong thinking that the Tesla turbine is not an option, cuz it is! But first of all we have to read 3 times per day, at least 1 week the Tesla's patent for a better understanding of the calculations that have to be made in such a simple and natural arrangement as his turbine/pump. PS. I really need that 3D printer :D!!!
Now you just need a metal 3D printer next. COMPLETE THE TRINITY!!
I'll knock in some doors ahahah
Isn’t this how a turbo on some cars works
So... they stole teslas idea then.... shame -_-
Turbines used in internal combustion engines {and as a pump design in general) have a similar shape to the volute pump. Tesla seemed to be more focused on the specific implications of the internals he designed to work with the volute casing. Most exhaust driven turbos/turbines have something similar to the volute casing with standard bladed propellers but that's essentially the main similarity.
@@davidregal6831 the real question is will i build more boost using a Tesla turbine instead of a traditional turbine?
@@monjier a tesla turbine can build a insane amount of RPM, have 97% efficiency and as less turbulence issue but have a very poor torque, I don't know exactly what is the objectif of a turbo, if couple with a rocket style nozzle theoretically it can be extremely powerful but it need real testing to be proved
@@monjier it also depend on material of the disks, more rough the material is more contact can be made with the gas and more propulsion and torque the actual best can be carbon nanotube, it's extremely rough (at a nanometric scale), it's extremely light and it's resistant as heck but it's clearly not for homemade propeller (for obvious reason) so the best in realistic case can be to make the disk catchy and rough manually (or with a machine), basically scratching to death all the disks.
I love the improvised table saw. Well done sir!😎
I feel like a good Tesla turbine would use hard-drive disk platters and air bearings
I think they would be too smooth. The whole point is to get something that grabs the air and has a high friction coefficient
@@samoneill4750 then we shall rough them up with 600 grit sandpaper, but yes, flat and thin allthough
@@samoneill4750 you want smooth. Boundary layer drag is not from
Mechanical Interactions between the fluid and the disc. Adding grooves will introduce turbulent losses which will reduce the efficiency and can induce stream separation, and even flow reversal, counteracting the desired torque, because of the turbulent flow regime it would induce. The Tesla turbine works on adhesion from viscous forces, which are entire valance electron shell interactions. Think hydrophobic and hydroPHILLIC interactions. Making the surfaces of the discs hydroPHILLIC would increase the molecular adhesion of water and steam molecules increasing the boundary layer thickness.
Putting mechanical impediments in the way of the free flow motive fluid completely defeats the purpose of the turbine in the first place. You want smooth faced discs. The “wetting angle” between the Type of material the discs are made of and the type of motive fluid is the important factor here.
@@thevinstigator2511 don’t do that. You want smooth faces discs. My last comment explains why you don’t want rough faces discs.
If i understood well the differences in the new design and the normal design that you made, the former has a "de laval" nozzle (i. e. Convergent divergent nozzle) mounted in the better tesla design. I'll say that the main reason why you lose all those RPMs isn't the tesla design but that you used that nozzle.
I want to give you some tips(if i'm right about the first design) , i think the problem with that turbine started in the moment you sad "with all the theory out of the way". First of all that nozzle is efficient only if you reach supersonic speed otherwise is useless. At subsonic speed the divergent part will slow the fluid(that is probably why you lose all those RPMs). You don't want turbines to work with supersonic velocities, and almost certainly that design is not meant to work with supersonic speeds.
So i suggest you to try the new tesla design with the the normal nozzle, and if you want to compare the results the entry surfaces of the casings MUST be the same.
If this isn't the cases than it is only strange that the better tesla design failed.
I think that tath could be a good idea. But i can sugest also to remove the central part of the discs, just to have a good comparison.
I would also sugest to sandpaper the discs and use fins along it to direct the flow and not make it collide in the center. These fins can also be not paralel to the flow to make like an ibrid whit the conventional turbine and maibe get a higher torque output. These fins can also replace the spacers and help you to keep the discs stable also when they are a bit flexible because they are distributed around the surface, not only at the center.
I think you have to reduce the whidt to increase the air speed in the inlet and increase, not too much, the diameter of the turbine to increase the leverage.
In conclusion, to increase the performance the discs thickness is less important than the tickness of the space between them
Hope that someone read this (hope also my english was good)
the tesla turbine is designed to peak at 50k rpm
Unrelated to the Tesla turbine but your table saw, you need an edge that’s adjustable so the material has something to rest against, this will help stop the flexing in the blade as you cut because your trying to put even pressure with both arms at the same time. Love your vids keep em going!
Name it Nicola, in honor of its first project.
How about Tesla? Ohh wait...
Youre the man!!
The Serb Nikola Tesla is a genious since 140 year and he will be the best in the next 140 years. He is a gift for the mankind.

I was using my wireless earbuds listening to this episode and heard “weed” instead of “wheat”. When he said grinding the weed I had to look at my phone to see what was going on here.
Same with headphones.
Probably the same with anything; that's how his pronunciation works.
Yeah whatever guys we know what you were doing instead of watching the video 😂
Anet - "Gentlemen, from this day forward, you shall all refer to me by the name, Betty..." :-)
Hey Integza, your videos are amazing! It is enjoyable to watch you go through the steps of design to ultimately get a mechanism or part that does what you'd like it to all while explaining exactly what is working (and isn't). The use of graphics also works well to this point. Love your content!
For a bit I thought I was watching PBS on a Sunday back in the 80s.
Name her Annie. Great video, you've inspired me to try my hand at making a tesla turbine too!
Name her “Annette Funnyjello”. You know, that goo in the printer is like a funny jello. Maybe only boomers will understand.
Great work!
I was wondering when you were going to make another video.
First, let us remember that Edison touted DC while Tesla wanted AC. With that said, how do you achieve the 50 Hz or 60 Hz with a turbine that needs high speed. Once you start gearing things down you lose efficiency. This is the problem with the Tesla turbine. AC, in the US is regulated at 60 Hz. Or, with most generators, 3600 RPM, some at 1800. A generator can be defined as a machine that transmits torque. The torque it takes to turn the generator is transmitted on wires as current to a motor that turns the current in to torque. Just something to think about. Other than that, I absolutely love your show. Extremely coherent with the right amount of humor. Don't stop, live your dream.
that rap came out of nowhere and was actually impressive
Name her: A-nette
which, in Viennese Slang, means a nice, cute or pretty one
A-nette cures 😂
just a *brilliant* guy with 3d printers
What about adding a trio of shallow, tightly spiraling grooves on each disk that follows the airflow towards the center, and shape the turbine as a slight vortex cone
