1st quote:
"Unlike the old devices [fountains] in which only a very small volume of water is set in motion, such a waterfall is highly effective in cooling the surrounding atmosphere. To still improve this action the free end 13 of the rotating shaft may be utilized to carry any kind of fan. The water may, of course, be artificially cooled."
He explains how the fountain is excellent at cooling surrounding areas. So I realized that if the fountain was efficient at taking heat out of the air to cool surrounding areas then it will also be effective at expelling heat to the air at the air-water interface. Tesla further explains that a fan can also be attached to the top of the rotating shaft which thus aids in the air flow around the fountain. This is not shown in my design yet but will be used in the finally design.
In the patent its also explained that this design of Tesla’s is one of the most efficient ways of moving large volumes of water to a height to be splayed out, into a shower of thin and large surface area, which is highly effective at exchanging heat with the surrounding area.
2nd quote:
“To convey an idea of the results obtainable with a small apparatus, properly designed, it may be stated that by applying only 1/25 of a horse-power to the shaft and assuming a lift of eighteen inches, more than one hundred gallons per minute may be propelled... ...As the circulation is extremely rapid the total quantity of liquid required is comparatively small. About one tenth of that delivered per minute will be, generally, sufficient."
I plan to use a small solar panel and battery pack to supply the minimally needed power for the propeller that circulates the water so that no energy is taken from the turbine to move the water in the fountain, which shouldn’t be that big of a deal as 1/25hp, or 29 watts, is not large.
With the curved basin the falling water conserves some of its kinetic energy and momentum, which increases the velocity of the water going into the propeller which decreases the energy required to continuously raise the water up to a height.
3rd quote:
"As the lift is inconsiderable, little power is needed to keep in motion a great volume of water and the impression produced on the observer is very striking. With the view of still further economizing energy, the bottom of receptacle 1 may be shaped as indicated by the dotted lines 12, in Fig. 2 so as to increase the velocity at the intake of the propeller."
I personally don't think that it's a coincidence that the very next thing that Tesla patents, after his turbine and pump, is his fountain patent. The turbine was patented in the US in 1909 and his Fountain patent was next in 1913.
If it requires too much energy to circulate the cooling medium, which cools the condensing section, the whole system is bunk. And he SPECIFICALLY talks about this in his article "Our Future Motive Power".
4th quote:
"Since the latent heat absorbed in evaporation and set free in condensation is very great, an immense quantity of water must be circulated through the vessels in order to prevent changes of temperature sufficient to seriously reduce the performance of the apparatus."
Again I don’t think it’s a coincidence that this fountain patent follows right after his turbine patents. It becomes quite clear that an efficient way of moving heat out of the condensing section is imperative to the operation of the cryophorus system and Tesla’s fountain does just that. It’s extremely efficient at moving large volumes of water and exchanging heat with its surrounding medium, which I have shown Tesla explicitly explained when he wrote the patent. Therefore I think it’s extremely likely that Tesla designed this fountain with this exact purpose in mind but was rather coy about giving up the more practicable use for this patent. I believe if these properties of the fountain were not a core purpose of it he would not have stated it. If you disagree with me let me know in the comments section!

Tesla goes into great lengths explaining the power generator systems he has devised in his article “Our Future Motive Power”. It’s an excellent read and I highly suggest reading through it!

Hey Everyone! Come check out my latest Tesla Turbine updates on the 10in diameter, 75disc aluminum and plastic prototype drive turbine dyno, 3.75horsepower and 6.22ft-lbs of torque to the shaft at only 4150rpm with a 150psi room temp compressed air supply from a regular piston compressor for now. I’m gearing it UP AT 1:3.6 to dual BLDC gens with a Kv rating of 2200rpm/volt. So for every 611 RPMs on the turbine the generators output 1volt.

I haven’t gotten to my Tesla disc compressor tests finalized just yet but I have the setup to do them already just gotta do some upgrades to my bearing and gear hubs for the generators.

Cooling ponds are commonly used to get rid of huge amounts of heat. I guess it's no surprise that Tesla optimized the idea into something small and efficient
Thanks Charlie, another great video!
Thanks FilterYT
very fascinating stuff. Looking forward to the first water test.
Thanks Raj! I can’t wait to have this fountain up and running!
Keep up the great work,man.
Thanks Womble ofWimbldon!!
Could we cover the whole fountain with triboelectric nanogenerators to obtain some extra energy from the flowing water?
Or use the "dead" space next to the center column of the fountain to fill with fins covered with such a material.
They would always get some vapor anyway that would flow down the wall... just a thought.
You’re a badass!
very interested to see this in action. Would it affect room humidity if run in side too much and not enclosed ?
Is this more used for cooling? Or for pumping water through a turbine?
Did you ever take this any further as I don’t see any videos of it in operation when searching for Tesla fountain. I don’t see how this is much more effective than a normal fountain or cooling tower
I clicked closed caption but unfortunately it has no Tesla setting so I will have to wait to see it in action.
it took me a second to get what you meant lol I’ll have one running here very soon!
@@CharlieSolis 🧐👍
If you have any questions about the explication let me know. I can elaborate more for you if you’d like.
Does the center section fling water into the dome section, and it rains down over the coil at the bottom-cooling it down?
The “dome” section you are seeing is the fountain of water falling and open to the air.
But yes the water gives off heat to the air and then goes back down to cool the coil and then goes up the riser column and then splays out into a thin sheet of water and cools from the air.
But if desired you could also put it in a sealed vessel and make the heat transfer through a wall.
Is the flowing Water of the fountain open so it needs to be refilled or closed from the outside air?
🤫 🤦♂️🔫😅
Dood…. How you going to be giving away my secrets like that 😅😜
@@CharlieSolis I'm sorry , somehow it already looks like one XD I shall delete that part of the comment
Lol you didn’t have to do that. But yeah the fountain is open to the air. It shouldn’t need to be refilled. I was actually concerned that if you didn’t design the upper and lower part of the fountain right the water would over flow of it shut off and/or would start sucking air, etc. and I just assumed teslas dimensions in the patent were arbitrary but when I made this in case I did a volume check and this design is actually perfect so that the basin won’t run dry and it can still flow over the top of the upper column. When it shuts off the water goes to just below the top of the lower basin.
