Very impressive and a lovely demonstration of a fantastic and little used invention. Thankyou for sharing this PlasmaStar9. I will have to build myself a setup like this sometime!
Check out the TESNIC wind turbine system. Its still in development but it uses Vertical Axis Blades along with Disks that exploit the same boundry layer "surface adhesion" in a typical tesla turbine. It basically allows higher transfer of energy at lower speeds. Great for lighter weight residential systems which usually don't tend to have optimal wind conditions. Too bad its not in production yet...I'd love to buy one.
You can use tesla turbines to pump hydraulic oil. You can even pump solids suspended in liquid. Provided the solid particles are small enough to fit between the disks.
Hehehe...I tried exactly this when I was 8 y.o. (almost 40 years back)...oh to be young and naive again! It is a perfect experiment for people with over-unity desires! Ideas from tesla and others like this were not given as much attention as they deserved for what they were, simple great ideas that worked. This is a great idea of elegant simplicity, inspiring. If only more people would use such models to explain things like this actually working, there would be a lot less "green greed" about!
You've done a good job with the construction and the demo.. I don't understand all the negative comments... this is a simple informative video showing turbine operation. Please message me, and we can discuss the efficiency and uses of the device.
Love the video, it really helps demonstrate the dual features of the Tesla Turbine/Pump! I have some questions for you: 1. How much did it cost you to make both those turbines/pumps? 2. What supplies did you use for the disks? 3. What size electric motor would run that little pump? I'm trying to find one that would run off medium to small-sized solar power. 4. Do different viscosity liquids/oils (ex. motor oil) require different speeds to pump? 5. Can you make a vid pumping motor oil pleeease?
Love your videos! Great sense of humour and adventure. It's inspired me to make my own version...the Tesla CD Turbine, featuring recycled CD's, neo magnets and a skilsaw blade..hehe thanks!
Neat!, The red dye is a good idea. I read that the disk pump/turbine was tried in a mech. heart design. I need to post my paper and cardboard disk turbine model on RUclips.
I have a full time job. Building stuff like this is very time consuming. I would have to charge far more than reasonable to make it worth my while. The holes are the same on both. The nozzle on the turbine is reduced to increase the air velocity. On the pump it becomes the outlet so I opened it up to improve the out flow. That is the only difference between the two.
It's cool how it moves sideways because of the larger turbine acting as an anchor and the smaller turbine pushing out the fluid resulting in gyroscopic precession.
It was the frist time i seen this tesla turbine, its cool, i like more the pump. Question.. does the shaft spin faster if you had like a "fan" turbine and you put the air stream directly.
On which? both the pump and turbine depend on disk size, amount of disks, housing design, amount of stages, resistance, and material being moved through them. I'm sure one would be able to find the proper calculations in various mechanical engineering texts.
just becuase the smaller one driving the bigger one will be the same amount of energy. it wont make a difference on the RPM of the turbines but the smaller one is more efficient at pumping the liquid.
nope not the most efficient system available. But both the pump and turbine are very versatile, work on liquid and gas (or mix) without modification, are reversible, easy to make (compared to blades on a normal turbine), and can be a bit more forgiving then blades too. But yes they have their uses, and can be found out there. And there are some cool variations in design for stable, cheap, variable speed wind generators too. Ingenious considering when it was invented.
Accent? What Accent? Actually it is nice to know that there are people out there intelligent enough to know the difference between a Texas backwoods drawl and a drunk. Thanks.
your pump is cavitating... as shown by the air bubble at the inlet of the pump. Use a higher liquid column to avoid that. Then you should post the efficiency of the pump.
A turban is some sort of Middle eastern head dress,... I think you mean a turbine. Otherwise you have a very tidy little demo rig there. Unless of course maybe you are going to pipe Cool Aid into your house. :-)
That or that there are a lot of engineers in the South these days. Remember NASA based in the South and a lot of research has moved to the sunbelt over the past 40 years or so.
jaja would be cool, but of coarse you cannot do that.. theres a loss of magnetic force when you spin a generator-motor, so the power you put not equals the out one, then the wires in the coil has resistance, so you loose power in heat form.
shouldve pumped some koolaid into a glass... So what does this mean? you convert air energy into mechanicle energy and if you attach a generator you can make electrical energy? how efficient would this be and how much electricity could you produce? could you produce enough energy to have leftovers to enegize an air compressor to keep it running forever? well, after the initial start...
Heck. Here's an even easier one. Take 2 little DC electric motors. Hook the wires from one to the wires on the other. When you spin the shaft on one it gererates an electric current which causes the shaft on the other to spin as well. If you connect the shafts together with a flywheel and give it a spin they should keep going, right? You should be able to have this setup running in a couple of hours, and tomorrow you will be the richest man on earth.
@CharlieMacklin1 Don't message. Discuss ALL HERE so that others may learn. IS this especially effficient in any way? Does not appear so, and that is what matters along with durability and ease of maintenance and repair.
"Whats a Tesla pump? Well its a Turban in reverse"...... Um... No, its not a Dirka Dirka Turban in reverse... but i could see it being a TUR-BINE! (Thumbs up)
like having an E on the end is a rule... lmao. you're kinda right, but that was a dumbass reasoning. It basically just says you're intolerant of other cultures. That's akin to racism and sexism... same logic train anyway.
It looks like the care more about it. Also I've seen a lot southern accent videos about trying to make alternative energy... (I'm not "racist" or w/e if that what you thought)
If the turbine and pump were 50% efficient, which I'm sure they are not, you lose 50% of your energy to heat, friction, or whatever. You have to make up that loss continuously from an outside source like air or steam. They cannot be self sustaining. Would be nice.
yall crazy yankees...lol I guess just a little more free time here in the south. Myself is experimenting with electromagnetic fields. We are all great Americans! north and south. God bless.

Nicely done. Can't wait to see Tesla's inventions put to more widespread use.
Beautiful examples of the Tesla Turbine and pump. Thanks for posting... truly inspirational!

That's awesome! Someone needs to utilize this technology because these things are pretty fast.

I have to agree. This is a neat device invented by a great scientist. Yet I see so many bad comments, which are totally unnecessary.

Would make one hell of a beverage dispenser not to mention a conversation starter!
thanks for showing how the turbine also moves liquids...as a pump!
You've got a voice for radio.
I love it when you say "as insightful as he was, I bet he never imagined someone pumping kool aid with it". Epic, just epic.
nice work! your voice makes me feel like i'm watching a baseball game on tv!

very cool. please keep the vids coming...
Link the outflow from the turbine to the inflow of the pump built off the same shaft then you will see something truly impressive.
i would make a pitcher that has the setup built in, add a valve to the exaust, so i could have a little pump to fill a cup from the pitcher

Is it possible to use liquid to instead of air to run the turbine?
Nice video man, where could I buy the small turbine (the pumping one) or do you have a diagram or close view video? thanks a lot.
The best turbine video on the tube!
Good way to pump flammable items im sure...Since theres no electricity anywhere in here, Just air :)
Accent? What Accent? Actually it is nice to know that there are people out there intelligent enough to know the difference between a Texas backwoods drawl and a drunk. Thanks.
nicestuff pstar nueve!!!! what about the leak?
A telsa pump would be ineffective (notice in the video it has to get some speed up to start pumping)
Don't peristaltic pumps work well enough then?
Strange looking turban, how would one wear it?
im glad i have place to sleep at night , warm, and have a shower available
what are the advantages of this kind of pump?
notice that the buble of air going into the pump enters at the same time that the flow of liquid falls to the container
your pump is cavitating... as shown by the air bubble at the inlet of the pump. Use a higher liquid column to avoid that. Then you should post the efficiency of the pump.
What did you use for your inlet and outlet nozzle? @PlasmaStar9
A turban is some sort of Middle eastern head dress,... I think you mean a turbine.
Otherwise you have a very tidy little demo rig there. Unless of course maybe you are going to pipe Cool Aid into your house. :-)
ahow are you poweing the turbine? Air?
What was the rpm of the rotor? What psi was reached by the flow as a pump?
any ideas of the pressure limits for a tesla pumping water?
i think there is a lot of corertial aplication for the tesla terbine
That or that there are a lot of engineers in the South these days. Remember NASA based in the South and a lot of research has moved to the sunbelt over the past 40 years or so.
Just watched 36 of you videos to finally find out that you can speak lol
are you a flight attendant?
jaja would be cool, but of coarse you cannot do that.. theres a loss of magnetic force when you spin a generator-motor, so the power you put not equals the out one, then the wires in the coil has resistance, so you loose power in heat form.

"Today we're doing the experiment outside, in case of catastrophic failure..."
LMAO that must have been your wife's idea ;)
Cool turbine

KDL- R you the guy that made a pump, and moved 5 gallons of water from 1 bucket 2 a second 1 ? In 36 seconds? ( 5 gallon buckets that is !? )
Yes the holes line up
"Whats a Tesla pump? Well its a Turban in reverse"...... Um... No, its not a Dirka Dirka Turban in reverse... but i could see it being a TUR-BINE! (Thumbs up)
awesome stuff!
Passes out thru the little holes in the center of the disks and out thru big hole in front of turbine.
How the air escape from the turbine?
You need to throw a combustion chamber on and connect that back to the inlet of the turbine, just like a turbojet.
tur-bine... theirs an e on the end buddy. I kept looking for a head wrap.
+Ursh anabi
Batman says tur-bin. I don't argue with Batman.
like having an E on the end is a rule... lmao. you're kinda right, but that was a dumbass reasoning.
It basically just says you're intolerant of other cultures. That's akin to racism and sexism... same logic train anyway.
can it pump gas? =0
And its positive displacement...
It looks like the care more about it. Also I've seen a lot southern accent videos about trying to make alternative energy... (I'm not "racist" or w/e if that what you thought)
turban?
TESLA IS FUTURE
GOD THAT WAS GOOD
i could really care less, but what are you insinuating?
LOL, Tesla Turbine,Tesla Pump, did he make a Steam engine to? That might be cool to see.
@brijeshchauhan im also from texas i currently am in dallas and i know what you mean
yes
Yep. Air
@Seppouku359 no he sounds like mr.rodgers...
yummmmmm
rasberry cool aid
will it pump bull piss?
hahahahhahah yeah i agree.. TEsla didnt see rasberry coolaid coming.. well, he invented so many things, or maybe he invented that too, wait..
man it leaks more than it pumps!
maiden voyage... it dint go further from the table yakidi! yack!
Not a problem Neto. Kool Aid is cheap
Yee haw, i love it!
If the turbine and pump were 50% efficient, which I'm sure they are not, you lose 50% of your energy to heat, friction, or whatever. You have to make up that loss continuously from an outside source like air or steam. They cannot be self sustaining. Would be nice.
hey coolaid! OH YAHH!!!!
lol sounds like he says "running at about 20psi on the turban" lmao.
lol he sounds like a flight attendent!!!
Isn't our existing pump design a lot better than this flow wise?
Well, a real pump would have a lot bigger disks, also it's better because you can put any material through it without fear of blade damage !!
lol pumping raspberry cool-aid
My favorite part is when you get rid of the "evidence"
zero point energy eh?
pdiddyjack....nope you're wrong. He's pronouncing it correctly. Tur-bin.
hehe I think he means "turbine"
- rofl, you "hate all people equally?" Well put ;-)
your crazt. very very crazt
yo hans navarro machaga,estoy contento por su esfuerzo de trabajo.me gustaria compartir ideas con esta persona.(navarrito_351@)
well yes Tesla did, he had a bunch of these turbines set up in his lab pumping water !! as a test. You need to do more research !!!!
Sta je bilo?Tesla vam dao domaci zadatak.
It's just me? or every video of a Tesla turbine is made on the southern US (accent)
turburn
That he can, and you can't... I feel cheated.
yall crazy yankees...lol
I guess just a little more free time here in the south. Myself is experimenting with electromagnetic fields. We are all great Americans! north and south.
God bless.
funniest accent ever!
i imagine marine propulsion with this
simpler, cheaper, more durable
