So at 3:22, the turbine is turning in the opposite way. I know, my bad!

[@bravojr]

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.

[@notsure9735]

Who is that next to Tesla on the picture in the background? It looks like Momar kadafi?

[@aadj1]

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 :),

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.

Hello Integza, i have seen a ton of your videos and i watch a lot of other science youtubers. Yours are special because you are not scared to try crazy ideas and show more failures and mistakes. I think this is very important to young and curious people who have been discouraged because they havent seen others make mistakes like these, keep trying, and eventually see their work pay off and get that huge reward from their brain. They may sometimes only see or hear their colleagues succeed and it can be discouraging as sometimes they may feel as if they are not capable of understanding high level engineering or math the same way their friends or colleagues can. When i was younger I had a bad view of the world due to this and people like you awoke my child-like curiousity once again, thank you for all the work you do for all these videos.

I seem to recall a video elsewhere on KZbin where a Tesla Turbine was run at sufficient speed that the centrifugal force of the airflow reached an equilibrium with the exhaust vortex, resulting in a steep RPM increase and higher efficiency. The speed was 50,000 RPMs, after that it jumped to 70-80k and seemed to smooth out. Might be worth testing...

[@l.a.wright6912]

Yeah I spent his entire testing going "let it Rev up damn the" at my phone. Tesla turbines massively increases in efficiency and torque when allowed time to accelerate as it allows the flow patterns to reach their ideal forms

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.

Here's my suggestions: On the interior of the turbine - Decrease surface tension by smoothing interior with hi grit sandpaper, fine rosin polishing and then cotton buffing. On the disks apply same process. You can also coat disks with a 3M product called "NeverWet" this creates a nanocoating that nothing sticks, and a micro-level (not nano) coat that the surface is smooth as can be. Without having thousands of dollars of equiptment, such as using steel and precision grinding. Yes I too am an inventor.

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.

@@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.

Everything tesla gets a like, always.

[@Eptarky]

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.

[@giovannottodarienzo743]

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)

[@demonsluger]

the tesla turbine is designed to peak at 50k rpm

[@thevinstigator2511]

I feel like a good Tesla turbine would use hard-drive disk platters and air bearings

[@samoneill4750]

I think they would be too smooth. The whole point is to get something that grabs the air and has a high friction coefficient

[@thevinstigator2511]

@@samoneill4750 then we shall rough them up with 600 grit sandpaper, but yes, flat and thin allthough

[@CharlieSolis]

@@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.

[@CharlieSolis]

@@thevinstigator2511 don’t do that. You want smooth faces discs. My last comment explains why you don’t want rough faces discs.

[@aom9082]

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.

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!

Tesla turbines get plenty of torque and usable power at low RPM. People need to stop saying they don’t. You just have to design the correctly.
