Tesla Turbine (Bladeless) – from gyroscope.com
Posted on
A Tesla turbine is a quite unique technology. It was invented and patented by Nikola Tesla on the 21st October 1909 at the Untied States Patent Office from experiments done in England. The patent 1061206 was granted on the 6th May 1913. Although, it is thought that a Tesla first showed a 200 hp 16000 RPM version on the 10th of July 1906 (on Tesla's 50th birthday).

@BrickMuffin Yes thats basically what I did. It works and didn’t seem be to a major diss-advantage.

@yerst2 Ich bin mit einer Kompresse Luftquelle im Moment. Aber ich plane mit Solarenergie obwohl ein Rankine Cycle-System. Die Tesla-Turbine ist, weil es spezielle Formen. Es ist einfacher zu gestalten und meiner Meinung nach zu machen. Es hat auch eine Reihe von Vorteilen gegenüber herkömmlichen Turbinen. Es hat auch einige Nachteile.

@MultiNewMedia erst denken, dann posten.

@gyroscopes
speak well!

@MultiNewMedia Das Design der Turbine ist das besondere etwas.

Man nehme eine Turbine, blase Druckluft hinein, verbinde die Turbine mit einem Generator, lasse diesen Strom erzeugen, und schon leuchten die Glülämpchen.
Und was soll daran jetzt so “Besonderes” sein!???

@drawesome2000 Hmm. But the blade does not have a leading edge. it does not cut through the medium either. So no. Quite different.

@gyroscopes Did you click on the wrong comment to reply to, my friend?

@MakoRuu Hmm. But the blade does not have a leading edge. it does not cut through the medium either. So no. Quite different.

isn’t that just one big blade?
January 28th, 2012 - 04:14
It’s awesome, yeah. And you did a hell of a job building it. But can it power the world?
January 28th, 2012 - 04:15
how about it is linked into an exhaust pipe on a car and it can produce electricity to charge a batterie.

did you set the inlet axis normal to the face of the turbine for ease of building and reducing chances of leak? i imagine since the air has to do a 90deg turn you’d be experiencing unnecessary pressure at the inlet corner. i recognize the air is going to have to take another sharp turn at the exit, but i suppose that’s unavoidable. cool build btw.

@juzzlookin Firstly compared to what? The build cost is usually very good. Secondly I still think there is plenty of room for extra efficiency. There is also very few academic papers regarding the efficiency.

@wildwabbit74 I dont think rockets work well in reverse either, but then thats not what they are designed for.
My beef with this is that the power in does not come close to power in+ losses, so whats the point?
January 28th, 2012 - 06:32
wow

@kjaks Easy, cheap to build, low friction, low wear

I made one of these using Hard Disc Drive platters and used the drive motor as a generator. It spun so fast the motor sh@t itself, after 30 seconds.
@DidierDeluxe they do not work very well in reverse, even telsa admitted this, efficiency is greatly reduced by using it as a pump. ie. it captures kinetic energy from fluids extremely well which can then be converted into electricity but won’t produce near as much kinetic energy when it is driven by a motor or other power source.

I want to maximize/capture water vortex energy via a falling spillway of water. Do you know the efficency of tesla’s turbine vs modern day turbines like a Francis turbine? I like how you’ve embedded the turbine in plexaglass to contain and control air flow. I was wondering if there might be a way to float this type of devise in the vortex along with an alternator attached to it’s back to make electricity? Would love to hear anyone’s thoughts. Thank you.

@Juefawn You do realize if it wasn’t for Tesla we wouldn’t have things like Cell phones, Wifi and other wireless devices Ac and so much more. Tesla is an amazing man who we all owe for his amazing mind.

@gyroscopes Tesla had a really sad life, he did so much for the people and today most people dont even know who Nikola Tesla was…
January 28th, 2012 - 09:03
@flightmaster178 to be exact – it’s Nikola…

What are the benefits of a bladeless turbine versus a blade turbine (turbo fan etc.)?
January 28th, 2012 - 10:23
Tesla was way ahead of his time, and not enough people know about him even though he did more than Edison.
