    Sweet, now I can power my house and flood my neighbors at the same time! All joking aside this is pretty cool, have you hooked it to a generator yet to see what kind of power output you can get off standard line pressure? This might be cool to use as a generator during a power outage if the output is high enough.

This videos ends where it starts, but people from UK are making new units made in titanium and surgical steel that really outperform every characteristic "new age" and pseudoscience people like to discuss. No free energy or stupid things, just a fucking high torque high perf turbine.

  • @MrWelloff05
    @MrWelloff05 10 лет назад +7

    Nice start, just work on the packaging to provide a more decent seal. Also it would be in your best interest to install another discharge/intake port so that your turbine runs using a combo of centrifugal and drag instead of just pressure.

  • @oicub2
    @oicub2 9 лет назад +1

    You have it set up backwards
    The water should be going in where it is coming out and coming out where it is going in. ( centrifugal force )
    The mounted shaft should be sealed within the unit and magnets should be placed on the flywheel to transmit the mechanical force externally

  • @Stuntman707
    @Stuntman707 10 лет назад

    The centripetal acceleration of the blades creates back pressure holding the vortex of water in the turbine.Since the only exhaust is in the centre of the turbine, the vortex gets stronger and stronger to overcome the forces pushing it away from the centre, which in turn spins the disks faster. The faster the turbine is, the more efficient it gets. The reason it isn't used to generate electricity today is because when it was invented, the materials simply didn't exist to withstand the high RPM required. Also because it relies on the Boundary Layer effect it has low torque. The only way to increase torque would be to increase the diameter of the disks. Then the question would be how practical would it be to make much larger turbines? Very interesting idea in principal.

  • @nolanjshettle
    @nolanjshettle 12 лет назад

    considering that psi is force/area and that the output is rotational... 0
    it's rather easy to make a device to take a smaller pressure in and output a larger pressure, like a modified pressure exchanger, similar to how gears can take a smaller torque and convert it into a larger one.
    a better question would be "what's the power out vs power in"

  • @ianstratton1629
    @ianstratton1629 8 лет назад +1

    I'm sure there is a reason, but if you could force all of the "leaking" water back into a reservoir that the tap pulls from, could this be a potential perpetual motion machine? The tap would be forcing the wheel around and the water being forced out could maintain the pressure inside the reservoir. Or would the two pressures cancel each other out?

  • @JediTek
    @JediTek 10 лет назад +16

    Lot of negative comments. You can tell from the bubbles on the front membrane that the turbine uses Tesla's Boundry Layer Effect and it doesn't have blades. What is cool with this is the "exhaust" must be passing through the membranes where you would normally have holes, guess on my part because I can't see the back, and it is an obvious Tesla design because you can see the internal bubble vortex bubbles on the membrane and the water vortex. Any pressure could be used such as air or water so if you had a gravity water source it would be ideal. The way the parts are designed it is far more simple than a bladed turbine, much easier as a DIY. Only thing really wrong with the video is none of this is explained. So no thumbs up from me, but no thumbs down because it is kinda cool.

    • @jtrimbl23
      @jtrimbl23 9 лет назад +66

      +Johnathan Graves What you are proposing is for the City to use electricity to pressurize the water and pump it throughout its water distribution network. Then residents would connect hydroelectric generators to their taps and reclaim the energy? I would suggest you do some research in hydraulic losses in pipes and see that the water pumped through the pipes looses pressure with every bend and even along straight sections of pipe. Also, this does not take into account any mechanical inefficiencies in the turbine or the generator that would be attached. This would be a very inefficient way of transporting power, not to mention drastically increase the demand for fresh treated water in your City.

      +Johnathan Graves If you are really interested in VOLTS, just rub a dry glass stick with a silk cloth - and you'll easily get tens of kilo-volts. Or use a step-up transformer after any (i.e. bicycle) generator. But the most fruitful approach is just to start learning basis of Physics - this will help you not to mix volts, power, energy, and etc...

  • @freedomfighter7976

    That's a great test and has potential. Tesla drives can run at high rpm's which is needed or cutting so the water helps cool, and keep dust or sparks down. The leaks need to be stopped so the rpm's can be accomplished.

  • @adriccochran8387
    @adriccochran8387 7 лет назад

    anyone know if it would be possible to re direct the water its pumping back out back int the engine? i mean the water has to be coming out the same rate it's going in which means it could pump at the same speed and force with the same size hole, meaning shouldn't it be able to run itself technically? that would be awesome but i feel like tesla would've thought of it, and so i'm sure theres a big hole in that possibility

  • @diceman199
    @diceman199 12 лет назад +1

    Hydro power is great and already in use all over the place. If a new (sort of) turbine design would improve the output for a given head of water then it's even better. Maybe he'll go onto incorporate that into later models & give the numbers.

    Regardless, there's plenty of lost energy there. You want water to leave the turbine at low speed and with minimum pressure head. I designed a Turgo turbine in Africa last year about this size.

    Its best on low flow applications and had its uses before modern alloys allowed for more durable turbine blades. Tesla turbines dont scale upwards that well when flow is increased and therefore are inferior to conventional turbines used in every steam(oil/nuclear/coal/solar) and water based powerplants at the modern age.

    @Buzneg, or any one else appropriate to answer, i'm just thinking out lod here but would me building a waterfall and then channeling said fallen water into a cone pipe/tube, create adequate water pressure in order to turn the turbine and then create the required power to pump the water back to the top and have some energy in excess to help power my house?? And nice vid btw :)!

  • @JimEdmiston

  • @Gaexi8ie

  • @GuilhermeJohann1

    The energy provided by your turbine will be enough to reintroduce that water (if recaptured) into turbine and yet remain energy? Sorry my bad english. Ps.: inject water in the same pressure that provide those 1100 rpm.

    Ever think about hooking that up to your main water line as it enters your home and directly to a DC generator and then to your power panel with a transformer in between, just like solar panels use. You would dump electricity back into your home every time you flush your toilet, wash dishes, take a shower, and water your lawn. Think about it. Could work hand in hand with solar systems.

  • @shannonlove4328
    @shannonlove4328 8 лет назад

    What killed this back circa 1900 was the lack of machining precision combined with flexing of turbine disk themselves. This led jams and excessive wear. Modern machining and materials can make it work today, but it's only real use is providing high rpm, low-torque output. Not much call for that.

  • @yoktor
    @yoktor 11 лет назад

    Passing water through this causes a noticeable drop in pressure. If the water source was 500ft+ above the city and didn't need to be pumped up to that point, then this might work. That would give you min. 250PSI and after passing through the device, maybe 150-100. I doubt the figherfighters would like that, but o well. But thats a very uncommon scenario. Water almost always needs to be pumped up and then feeds the system by gravity. By entropy the energy to pump up could never match the output.

  • @diceman199
    @diceman199 12 лет назад

    Of course it matters. The water doesn't simply magic itself into the tap. There is an energy input required to get it there. Wasting water = wasting energy

    • @xMrJanuaryx
      @xMrJanuaryx 8 лет назад

      Why? I can make an electric motor out of two AA batteries and some wire that will deliver power to drive a load. That thing could easily produce more power than two AA batteries friend. However, I don't think he was claiming that it is better than any other turbine. He is simply showing how Tesla's air turbine can be adapted for water just like Tesla said it could.

  • @jackmarlin9127
    @jackmarlin9127 10 лет назад

    This is what I was looking for when I had an idea to use a rainwater harvesting system to generate electricity. Atleast enough electricity to be able to run a pump to give the system more water pressure. I wonder if the pump also forced the water through this device if it would take some of the load off of the pump. Either way pretty neat.

  • @amairaali4698

    attach it's input and output to continuous pipes a guess so when people all over the city are turning their taps than the water must pass through these multiple turbines. .more electricity. .cheaper power bills. .maybe cheaper rates of city undertakes this project. . But I think you need bigger pump at water source
