      I think you over estimated the amount of steps Tesla would have taken to developing this. It is trivial to realize that forcing fluid back on itself will cause a high reduction in flow. To me it seems the first step would be to start with a series of the lobes that we see, then adjust the angles between them to be optimal, rather than what was displayed in the video.
      Granted, your intent may have been to demonstrate the way a modern engineer would approach the problem, which would have been fine had you not portrayed it as Tesla's design process.

      I'm actually considering to use it in a work application. Could someone help?
      The thing is, we have a centrifugal pump with DN70 inlet, sucking fuel from a tank. But we also need to create pressure in front of it, using a specific gear pump. We tried using conventional one way valves to keep gear pump from just sending fuel through a loop, but it ends up just closing them and suffocating the centrifugal pump.
      Will Tesla valve work in this scenario, when you have a flow going one direction, but pressure is coming from the other one. Seems kinda impossible when put into words, but I hoope there's someone here, who can help

      @@lick28 His point was that you can animate anything. You can animate the valve breaking from excess pressure. You can animate an anvil falling on it. You can animate glitter coming out of the other end. You can also animate generally accepted "laws" in the logic of children's cartoons but that does not make them real nor evidence of any kind of "laws". And yes, you can show the difference of water speed in a valve. Today we have plastics and glass to make small scale low pressure valves. We also 3D printers and pressure gauges. I am surprised that a reasonable person would suggest that the only way to demonstrate how a valve works would be through computer animations. Because we all know the significance of computer animations when Nikola Tesla made the valve in question...

    The interesting thing about this apparatus is that the reduced flow from the output side is fairly consistent no matter how much pressure is on the input side. It's not adjustable but this would have applications where someone would need a relatively stable volume of liquid flow regardless of the changing input pressure. I think that is the real purpose of this valve, not so much being a one way valve.

      May be they don't have a wood or metal worker? Animations worked well enough as even if you could see though a plexiglass face, due to the valve slowing the flow, you could not see the direction of the water flow. This would then need animations of arrows again.

      Also this valve is crap under any appreciable pressure. You’d get backflow in no time. It demonstrates that it is not possible to make a true check valve without moving parts. A small ball check valve easily handles the job.

A train 🚂🚋🚃🚋🚃🚋🚃in a tunnel with walls that reflect the divergent air on to the rear of the train would have twice the efficiency of trains today. Using turbo jets to clear air from the front would prevent wind resistance in the tunnel while additional forward thrust is developed. Directing this displaced jet of air on to a modified Tesla mechanism on the tunnel walls to redirect the air jet on to the rear of the train would again add forward thrust. This is significant since wind resistance at 100 mph is equal to the weight force of the average vehicle. Also, the hyperloop intended to remove air resistance by creating partial vacuum in a tube is more dangerous than the Titanic.

However my instincts are telling me the gasses would just push the projectile downward in the direction of each curve and it would probably just blow up lol.

    I have never seen an actual *working* pulsejet engine using the Tesla valve. The reason for this is that the valve is too "soft" and absorbs a lot of gas before it is "full" and the choking effect becomes pronounced enough to cause compression in the combustion chamber. For that reason, any engine built with such a valve would be unlikely to run well -- if at all.

    I'm guessing the main reason this type valve hasn't caught on is simply because, as stated, it can not complete block the reverse flow.
    For instance water without a lot of pressure behind it (from static height or a pump) will create less vortices and therefor less resistance.
    The harder you push the water through (use a big pump), the pressure loss will increase exponentially, and so in relative terms it will be more efficient. It still won't stop flow completely though. It will also mean more damage to the valve due to pit corrosion (the same you get on ships propellers), and that would severely restrict the lifespan.
    But it is certainly an ingenious design, no doubt.

    You guys forgot to mention another genius effect of this valve, which is the reason why it isn't near 180° (for example 178°): when the flow of one secondary stream mixes with the main stream, it doesnt just slow the mainstream down, it redirects its forces into the following secondary stream, since the secondary flow comes in at an angle instead of (near-)directly from the opposite side. Thus the force in the following secondary valve is increased, helping it to slow down the main stream even more.

    In essence it is a very simple idea. Break the flow into 2 pipes, one straight, and bend the other one to go into the opposite direction, when reunited. The reverse flow mostly ignores the second pipe because of its perpendicular-opposite direction. I don't think that Teslas design would work as a flood barrier though, with a road put in the middle. It probably works just when the pressure/size is big enough.

    One thing that would be worth mentioning is that Tesla's design relies a lot on Bernoulli's principle. The trade off, in this application, is between pressure and speed. The speed is determined by the Coandă effect. According to the definition, if a fluid meets a curved surface, in our case the added obstructions, it will attempt to follow it. When this happens, the fluid that needs to travel further on the encountered obstruction will speed up (and drop in pressure), resulting in a higher velocity, which will result in the diverging stream clashing with the main stream, obstructing it

      the water shoots out either side just as fast as you pump it in the opposite.

      @@__shifty You know when this valve could work? Lets say you have a junction with one side a normal pipe, and the other with this valve, the water will obviously choose the way with the less resistance. If you somehow had a pipe blockage or an overflow in the other pipe, the water will then be forced to move into the valve. This is a scenario i think it would do a good job at. It is not a valve that can stop water when you force into it. It can only be a resistive valve.

      With the toy version, the harder you blow, the more resistance you get, but it never is completely blocked, and maybe low airflow lets through more than higher airflow... Very little resistance until you get to a certain airflow anyways...

    In airflow through a duct in HVAC applications, turbulence causes restriction to flow. Turning vanes and proper transition design is vastly important, especially when the pressure available to move the air is so small. A small restriction doesn't cause a small difference in air distribution to an outlet, a small restriction means almost all the air goes to the least restrictive path. Poor duct design or installation can make air balancing almost impossible.

    One additional perspective: Tesla thought in oscillations and capacity - As demonstrated in his work on alternating current. While this valve works for steady-stream applications (like constant pressure water flow), it is intended for oscillating flow (like in the pulsejet engine).

      Tesla was intrigued by the idea that vibrations, so basically sound, had the capacity to mimic other chemical and physical reactions. Modern science now calls this study phonons. Later, he would update his ideas to include sonic resonances from many different phenomenon. This obviously influenced his work on radio and alternating current. And directed his ideas later in life about wireless electricity, through microwave transmission. He probably didn't have an understanding of microwaves yet, but that is what he was thinking about.

    I actually figured that once water had filled the side pockets, they wouldn't empty out back into the main stream but just stay filled due to the main stream being higher pressure, then the water has a slightly bumpier ride but is all in all mostly uninterupted
