This video inspired me to model this as a final project in my computational fluid dynamics course. as a senior studying mechanical engineering. Yesterday, I finished creating detailed animations that simulated the flow in each direction. If you or anyone else is interested, I could upload them.
I have produced one of these in aluminium and perspex. It's function is interesting but actually just to look at and play with is fascinating!!! I have a video on my channel, would love to hear your thoughts! FYI it was your video that prompted me to design mine!
Hi, I want to make a back yard pneumatic network to collect and distribute solar, wind and water power. Something like this can be a valve on a wind turbine compressor. I put your video into a playlist, hope you don't mind. Brian in Canada
I am interested! CFD is very interesting to me, especially when done in a lattice gas/cellular automata modelled way. Did you do that, or use numerical approximation of Navier-Stokes equations or use a different model?
Sharky Why is "Air" or any gas a less valid test than a liquid? Valves also work on gas as it is a fluid (like a liquid). Often you only want a pressure differential rather than a complete stop of flow. This demonstrates the reduced flow from one direction to the other direction of flow. My gripe would be the non-standardised breath test used, it should be tested against a pressure regulated pneumatic source, maybe measuring how fast to blow up a balloon or similar known volume, maybe an inverted beaker in a tank of water capturing the air by upward delivery. LimitlessInd , Good effort! I approve(!) -AS, CEng.
For some reason I can't edit. This is embarrassing, but the difference between gas as a fluid and liquid as a fluid is that gas is compressible, liquid is 99.5% incompressible. Embarrassing, I realised it whilst cleaning my engine just now. That's why Tesla's Valvular Conduit works best with gases like air and with sudden increase in peak flows. I apologise to Prof Taylor, my fluid dynamics tutor in 1996.....

Nice work! I would love to see some demonstrations with liquid flow...

@yotoen Thank you. I'm super happy it actually worked.
@gyroscopes Approximately 4/10ths of an inch or 9 millimeters.
That is waaaaaay cool!

very cool... what about an on/off valve.... can you print one of those....?
unimpeded way still leaks bit of air

is that all it can do?
What is thickness of of the valve?
totally stops flow or only decreases flow?
What material is this made from? I would like to have one.
@cymonsgames Came on here just to say this, but you beat me to it!
I think it's a totally bullshit, every 'tesla valve' videos shows only air tests.. let show us how it's handle a water.. or sorry how IT DOESNT.
Water and air are both fluids, with water only being thicker. If it works for one, why not the other? Are you an idiot?

Andy Southern what engine do you have that needs to be cleaned?
