Imagine if your friend had been sitting on that couch. Great video , I’m glad you had shields up but even more glad that you know WHY you use them even if there’s not an explosion every time. Have a great day
As much pressure as a 1/4" piece of wood can handle that was the thickness of the first stage. Remember though the pressure is reduced by the second stage so not much pressure can build up in the turbine other then the periphery of the first stage sidewalls. Not as much as you would think. The inlet was 1/2" wide by 1/32" thick. The main problem was the rotor shifting and making contact with the side walls, this caused it to rapidly heat up and make the plastic soft. The explosion was from the rotor breaking and sending that kinetic energy into the casing of the turbine.
@@iEnergySupply Cylindrical Mirror with copper little tube in focus.. After you have steam, Tesla turbine connected with electric motor and flywheel.. After that the water come back . A good flywheel can run over night.. yep yep!
in a book i read on theory, the author tells a story about someone testing a prototype machine at a Vegas trade show with about 20 people looking on when the thing violently blew apart (no shields) and in a miracle no one was hit with shrapnel. the thing was made of metal and the author notes that had the creator understood theory, the device would not have utilized the materials the way it was done. Basically the man build a bomb which at speed would fail in amazing fashion. we had a tesla turbine at the tech school where i got my degree in green energy but it had a regulator on the air flow to prevent over speed, however the top speed of that one might have done the same thing you got. i'm glad you are proactive and stayed safe.
That turbine just grenaded! *hmm following thought all the way* Sooo... a clamshell of brittle steel, integrated nozzle, the turbine, a CO2 cartridge. That is flak, charge, initiator, timer all in one... a mech'anade.
We are going into production and selling our turbine soon! Sorry all the late updates have been on patron only, Ill soon be posting more on youtube though.
Is there a way to measure the speed / pressure of air coming out? I hope you can receive hundreds of aluminum disks (aluminum hard disk drives) as a gift for the various tests. Finally, after so many years, new, interesting and impressive experiments with the tesla turbine. Good job!
These Tesla turbines are great and have not been used enough. The question is not how much power they generate but what is the power generated vs what power it took to create the compressed air. IMHO these turbines are best suited in water fall situations.
@@niteknight265 Tesla turbines have been in use for a long time. Usually in the opposite way as a pump for liquids. But not for generators, as mankind has no material that can withstand the massive centrifugal forces. Modern turbines achieve efficiencies of over 90%, in order to achieve these efficiencies in the "industrial" framework with a Tesla turbine, the disks would have to rotate at their outermost end at a speed of more than Mach 10.

A note. The picture you have in the beginning (0:04) is not a two stage Tesla Turbine, but shows 2 independent Tesla turbines running in opposite direction with a torsion string between them in order to measure the break horse power they develop between them. Also the Tesla turbine must be made out of steel and be operated with steam, everything else is quite a sub efficient design.
The Tesla turbine is designed to run on many different fluids. You can also run combustion with the Tesla turbine if done right, this we will show in the future with a metal rotor.

2:06 Are these your exhausts? Tesla turbines get their incredible efficiency from the exhausts being in the middle by the shaft bearings, so that the air has to fight the incredible centripetal force to get out, turning the turbine in the process.
there is a turbine, a regular turbine in the center, then there are two pumps on on each side of the turbine that evacuate the pressure in the center of the turbine.
That's exactly what I thought. An electric load on the generator would have been nice to get a light or boil a cup of water. Anyway great work to be proud of.👍
Great video! I feel the issue was as the RPM increases the air travels around the housing more times taking longer to escape through the exhaust. At this point the back up of exhausted air with a continual supply causes the wooden housing to become a pressure vessel. Well done to get 40000 rpm, looking forward to see the CMC version maybe with a slightly larger exhaust and inlet. An even bigger well done to look after your own safety and use protective glass.
Gosh, what you said is exactly what we did, now we are getting these speeds with 1/100th the pressure using carbon fiber disks. It's getting better and better.

I can imagine Tesla actually doing the same thing during his trial runs. He did try over and over again to make it safe, resulting in bigger wheels and lower rpms. In the end Tesla somewhat gave up when he couldn't find a strong enough material.
I was also trying to build a tesla turbine out of I'm using CD disks as turbines. I'm a beginner. I broke it accidentally while cutting the wood. But i will try it oncr again later.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And your turbine "looked" very solid and strong!!! The power of the Tesla Turbine is amazing! Keep pushing hard on your R&D... we know that you're onto something BIG because as you know so well, a lot of Mr. Tesla's plans and R&D are missing... and when researchers went to the museum in Belgrade... THEY WOULDN'T LET THEM LOOK AT TESLA'S DOCUMENTS! Something very very very fishy is going on... and I believe his research was stolen because, just like his AC, he invented something even MORE SPECTACULAR WITH HIS TURBINE! Amen Retired, Veteran

But, you're work looks more promising! Amen Retired, Veteran BowenOrg@gmail.com
Please turn the explosion part into it's own video! Not just because it's cool. But more of a PSA for showing the kind of destruction that happens when one of these fails. Sure, it's a wooden one past its limits. But imagine if that had been a metal construction failure 😲 Not being negative Nancy! Looking at my own experiments with it & just feel it's an important bit of footage. Keep up the AMAZING work!
That's a good idea, a safety video. The metal ones can't explode though, but only when the tolerance of the side walls is close enough for the material used. I put a 1/64" gap between the periphery of the rotor and the casing circumference. The rotor stretches with centrifugal force to break the rotor(not explode the rotor.
I could tell from the noise that this turbine wasn't going to go real fast - too much vibration. What a great demo of the power of that turbine though. Too bad you broke your speed sensor in the process.
This reminds me of the Tesla earthquake machine on explosion. One challenge about this turbine is the material for the discs. The more we go infinitely flat, the more we expose them to warping, creeping and eventual damage as experienced by Tesla. However, in this case, the wooden housing didn't give the required protection as well so yeah, it was a housing fault but with a nice output connection whose resistive errors can be ignored for demonstration purposes
Love the epic music! I feel like I am part of a NASA launch team that is going interstellar for the first time. Ok, I am definitely off subject, sorry.
what does two stage get you? the input velocity has little to do with output. And yo have one shaft for all stages so youre in actuality coupling the turbines not staging them ...?
In the development of power by thermo-dynamic primemovers, as steam engines and turbines, a low back pressure is essential to good economy, the performance of the machine being increased from fifty to one hundred per cent. by reducing the absolute pressure in the exhaust space from fifteen to about one pound per square inch. Turbines are particularly susceptible to such improvement and in their use for operation of power plants and manufacturing establishments the attainment and steady maintenance of high vacua has assumed great importance, every effort being made to better the conditions in this respect. The gain effected by this means is, in a large measure, dependent on the initial pressure, characteristics of the primemover, temperature of the cooling medium, cost of the condensing apparatus and many other things which are all well-known to experts.
Please attach a LOAD to the generator, something which consumes CURRENT, not just measuring the 'open voltage'. A 1 Ohm resistor, or even short the outputs and measure the current. The 'back EMF', will drastically reduce the speed. I have seen numerous 'free running' Tesla Turbines.
We just attached a generator to our latest turbine and powered a 1000w motor, although it did it's job the generator was unbalanced so most of the power was lost to vibration. We will soon attach it directly to the shaft to demonstrate the power, we will also show the motor's amp's and volts to show the turbines potential capabilities with solid numbers.
Well you definitely did the destructive testing portion of your research. About 70% of the rpms you got that caused failure would be the max safe range for your design. Impressive to say the least. Make smaller ones out of aluminum and they would make awsome air driven ultra high speed milling bit tool holders.
That was fun. What was it, 32krpm when it grenaded? LOL Outstanding. What kind of wattage was it putting out? 80v at what amperage? Hmm, just the DVM set up for voltage, eh?
Where’s the Slo-mo Guys when you need ‘em? Impressive build and even more impressive ‘deconstruction’! Good luck with future projects.
Damn, I wish we could have got it on super slow motion!
Success will not be obtained without a little failure, that was awesome

with out some holes in the walls

Good thing you had that partial "blast shield", otherwise you might have had a problem with shrapnel not escaping.
Indeed. Good planning on his part. You could make a solid enclosure but I would go with a much larger one--say a 2x2x2 foot cube. More space provides more time for the shrapnel to spread out more over a larger area before impacting the shield.

@@iEnergySupply I'd also try to find out and see if he still builds them or not as well, if he does, maybe a partnership could be formed..?
Who knows.
As an engineer, that was entirely predictable. But keep up the good work!
Now you know why I had blast Shields haha
I can imagine Tesla actually doing the same thing during his trial runs. He did try over and over again to make it safe, resulting in bigger wheels and lower rpms. In the end Tesla somewhat gave up when he couldn't find a strong enough material.
Yeah I agree, it's important to test for failure no matter what you do.
titanium is the strongest that we know so far. but when u get into the plastic alloys then itill become interesting..
That’s the most awesome and scary thing I’ve ever heard in my entire life
Yeah it was exhilarating, and scary! Thanks!
I was also trying to build a tesla turbine out of I'm using CD disks as turbines. I'm a beginner. I broke it accidentally while cutting the wood. But i will try it oncr again later.
Good luck!
@@iEnergySupply thank you
Shields up! Red alert!
hahah yep
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And your turbine "looked" very solid and strong!!!
The power of the Tesla Turbine is amazing!
Keep pushing hard on your R&D... we know that you're onto something BIG because as you know so well, a lot of Mr. Tesla's plans and R&D are missing... and when researchers went to the museum in Belgrade... THEY WOULDN'T LET THEM LOOK AT TESLA'S DOCUMENTS!
Something very very very fishy is going on... and I believe his research was stolen because, just like his AC, he invented something even MORE SPECTACULAR WITH HIS TURBINE!
Amen
Retired, Veteran
I won't stop! Thanks for the words of encouragement. I totally believe the stuff is being hidden from us!
@@iEnergySupply Amen Jeremiah!!!
I've watched almost all of your videos at least THREE TIMES EACH and from what I can see, you have the "heart of a lion" and the dedication and commitment of Tesla... and that's what it's going to take to make the major breakthroughs that will "take you to the top!"
We want your first working system for our planned retirement home in NW Montana... so we can power everything and charge our batteries!
As soon as things start to happen for you... you'll probably be a billionaire... so don't forget us retired folk!!!! ha! ha! : )
PS: I'm also doing my R&D on the Stirling Engine so we could possibly attach it to a wood boiler and pump the heated water through our foundation for our A-Frame Solarium/Sun-room/Greenhouse Home AND generate energy at the same time (similar to the units that they've made in Switzerland but they're for commercial clients!)
But, you're work looks more promising!
Amen

What's up with tachometer? Is it destroyed?
Sadly it is, it still works but you can barely read the rpm.
5:40 *Danger to Manifold*
This guy: "Shut up!"
Please turn the explosion part into it's own video! Not just because it's cool. But more of a PSA for showing the kind of destruction that happens when one of these fails. Sure, it's a wooden one past its limits. But imagine if that had been a metal construction failure 😲
Not being negative Nancy! Looking at my own experiments with it & just feel it's an important bit of footage.
Keep up the AMAZING work!
That's a good idea, a safety video. The metal ones can't explode though, but only when the tolerance of the side walls is close enough for the material used. I put a 1/64" gap between the periphery of the rotor and the casing circumference. The rotor stretches with centrifugal force to break the rotor(not explode the rotor.
keep it up
thanks, have you seen our latest videos?
I could tell from the noise that this turbine wasn't going to go real fast - too much vibration. What a great demo of the power of that turbine though. Too bad you broke your speed sensor in the process.
@@nikola.tesla.r.and.d.centre Yeah I would say that was fast!
a question, what measure does the separation of the discs?
the ideal for a 4" turbine is 1/64"
This reminds me of the Tesla earthquake machine on explosion. One challenge about this turbine is the material for the discs. The more we go infinitely flat, the more we expose them to warping, creeping and eventual damage as experienced by Tesla. However, in this case, the wooden housing didn't give the required protection as well so yeah, it was a housing fault but with a nice output connection whose resistive errors can be ignored for demonstration purposes
absolutely, it's all a learning process.
would love to order a turbine from you, however the website does not seem to work.
GoDaddy deleted our website because they didn't get my latest card information in time. They deleted the entire thing.
Oh Shiver me timbers !
haha
Love the epic music! I feel like I am part of a NASA launch team that is going interstellar for the first time. Ok, I am definitely off subject, sorry.
i love the explodes... 🤩
Me too!
Self destruct mode activaded
Yeah bummer we couldn't test the generator more, shortly we will be finished with the new turbine and do more testing with it. The generator is ok.
Il genio di Tesla !
how much power did you use to generate the power you produced?
How big are your discs?
4"
Did you made any aftermath? What was the speed of the outerline of the disks? Is this the 450mph?
451 MPH
what does two stage get you? the input velocity has little to do with output. And yo have one shaft for all stages so youre in actuality coupling the turbines not staging them ...?
In the development of power by thermo-dynamic primemovers, as steam engines and turbines, a low back pressure is essential to good economy, the performance of the machine being increased from fifty to one hundred per cent. by reducing the absolute pressure in the exhaust space from fifteen to about one pound per square inch. Turbines are particularly susceptible to such improvement and in their use for operation of power plants and manufacturing establishments the attainment and steady maintenance of high vacua has assumed great importance, every effort being made to better the conditions in this respect. The gain effected by this means is, in a large measure, dependent on the initial pressure, characteristics of the primemover, temperature of the cooling medium, cost of the condensing apparatus and many other things which are all well-known to experts.
Awesome YA!!!👍
gosh, you could hear that internal failure compounding in oscillation, that explosion was almost easily preemptable...
yeah, we were doing a test for a friend that wanted us to go supersonic, he offered to pay for the damages.
How machined and balanced was the disk assembly ? What do you determine the point of failure?
Please attach a LOAD to the generator, something which consumes CURRENT, not just measuring the 'open voltage'. A 1 Ohm resistor, or even short the outputs and measure the current. The 'back EMF', will drastically reduce the speed.
I have seen numerous 'free running' Tesla Turbines.
We just attached a generator to our latest turbine and powered a 1000w motor, although it did it's job the generator was unbalanced so most of the power was lost to vibration. We will soon attach it directly to the shaft to demonstrate the power, we will also show the motor's amp's and volts to show the turbines potential capabilities with solid numbers.
9/10 mythbuster fingers agree, blast shields are the best! The other finger couldn't be found for questioning...
Well you definitely did the destructive testing portion of your research. About 70% of the rpms you got that caused failure would be the max safe range for your design. Impressive to say the least. Make smaller ones out of aluminum and they would make awsome air driven ultra high speed milling bit tool holders.
since then we have switched to ballet proof plastic, and carbon fiber, our new speed for operation is 1400 miles per hour.
@@iEnergySupply mph.... 1400.... vroom vroom...
The first thing i see needs a big change---Tesla would NEVER have used the term "BILLIONS of DOLLARS!" Well done!
Damn buddy!!! 35k is enough lolololololololol! Wow! Keep building. That was a hell of a piece of work.
Thanks! It definitely took more time than rest of the Turbines there was a lot of sanding And painting that gloss.
...the tesla bomb😁
Oops.
Nice build, I hope your metal version is encased and secured to your FCc ground.
That was fun. What was it, 32krpm when it grenaded? LOL Outstanding. What kind of wattage was it putting out? 80v at what amperage? Hmm, just the DVM set up for voltage, eh?
Hahaha that was fucking awesome! Can't wait for version 2.0
Where is stage three video lmfao lol damn that was crazy lol :P
Use Tantalum sheet for make the disk
Daaaaaamn dude!!!!
Yeah Scary stuff.
You need to put loads on the generator to see if it can work in real life applications? And the spinning speed can be slow down
Awesome!
