On this video I'm making a micro sized Tesla turbine motor that is being currently powered by compressed air. I'm already surpised by its performance, the torque seems to be sufficient to power a small generator and produce some useful amounts of electricity. All tests made with compressed air at 30psi. I'm really curious to see what it can do on steam.
I'd like to apologize for the assembly of the rotor itself for not appearing on the video, it's becasue for some reason the footage was way blurry and was absolutely not watchable.
Some interesting information about this Tesla turbine.
- The rotor has 12 discs (20mm diameter) with 0.18mm spacing.
- Clearance from the housing is 0.1mm.
- Clearance from the end caps is 0.18mm.
- Uses 2 micro bal bearings 2x5x2.5mm.

what should you do with it in your next video? Put it under a friggin' load! No one seems to feel like bothering to actually properly measure the efficiency of these blasted things. I don't care how many RPMs the thing gets when it isn't doing any work. Instead, show me how efficiently it transforms pressure into rotational motion. And for that, a load is required. It has to do actual work. I would really love that.

Need steam for load
Nah. compressed air is sufficient to put it under load. These days, only bother with steam if you're addicted to that particular world. Else, compressed air causes so many fewer headaches.
By load, he means mechanical load on the output shaft, not the driving fluid( ie air, steam, water, etc)
Robert Daggett
aww, come on. Lee was only trying to help Terrible One understand. No need to be patronizing to someone for that. (though I must admit that using "your" instead of "you're" is good wholesome classic trollbait)
Or you could look and see that johnnyq kindly put it under a load in his next video as I requested :)
The noise it makes when spinning up is glorious, good job!
omg the sound of that turbine is beautiful!!!!!!
SO TRUE, BLOW OFF VALVE...
Micheal Brown xD
Car guys bro
Micheal Brown so true :D
+justas drigotas love the valve live the valve
I love the sound of those Tesla Turbines.
Dude honestly the craftsmanship is awe inspiring
The skill and craftsmanship of people like you makes America Great! Thanks for sharing!
I could watch this all day, beautiful work mate.
So cool...amazing craftsmanship.
Incredible... Fantastic machining...Excellent video...Thanks,Frank
Wow that was the coolest thing in a long time. I never thought of machining solder . Awesome video
incredible precision and craftsmanship , Thank you
I must say this is the best designed turbine you have made
+stanley carter And as things look so far, one of the most powerful ones I've ever made, if not the most powerful on that scale.
Suggestion: add a propeller and a small compressed air tank and see if it generates enough lift to fly!
I like its straight into build and no talking straight to point well done serious skills involved there
Amazing
the machining is incredulous
keep it going
good work!!!
Excellent craftsmanship, with great tools.
Nice work! I love seeing the lathe--Queen of Machine Tools--being used for a full project. There are so many things that a lathe can do that folks who have access to a milling machine don't appreciate.
You should make a space ship next!! Man I love your videos! Your attention to detail is absolutely immense!!
What a beautiful well made little thing.
82000 RPM at 30psi? Damn, congrats for the amazing job you do with those turbines
I'd love to see torque tests with it and know how efficient it is.
Great job, this channel is awesome!
Torque drop low.
Great craftsmanship! I can imagine such turbine in a car, it sounds amazing! It would be fun to see it in an Ford Falcon XB GT Coupe 1973 "V8 Interceptor".
that's the coolest thing I've seen in a long time. u got mad skillz bro...
Amazing work! Thanks for the great video!
Beautiful job John
totally amazed of both the work and the principle -
I will go to the Nicola Tesla museum in Beograd on my next visit!
Please put a few of these in series to increase efficiency and power!
Wow, I am really impressed!
Subscriber for life! Keep them coming because we love it.
Congrats on a beautiful demonstration of quality lathe work and a demonstrably superior product. I'm jealous as hell. Heck, even the video itself was quality. Well done.
Maybe a Stirling engine next?
You have some mad skills. Thanks for the videos. I recommend you look into the tesla valve and put it on the intake as Tesla intended, Next add a miniature glow plug at the gas inlet, and then fire it up the way Tesla intended as a (I think model engine fuel) gas powered turbine. Tesla thought once it got warmed up the glow plug ignition could be shut down. Or, be totally over the top and set up a GEET reactor feed that uses non-petrol fuels, like root-beer or pickle juice. (OK, that may take some development before you put it on your turbine. The GEET reactor may require you use all iron materials for the rotor and housing, and put a slight magnetic charge on them to keep them from being destroyed by the gas. Building a miniature GEET reactor from iron stock would be a project on its own with two concentric tubes, central rod and everything vacuum tight.) Really beautiful work. Kudos.
That brass ring housing is beautiful by the way.
You sir are an artist.
That sound like a siren and it’s soo cool by the sound of a motor
!OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUU YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!
Amazing man, This microturbine is the most powerful I
and never seen!! Imagine this micro-turbine in a micro-plane. !! It's delicius!! Even the sound is deafening, it is perfect.
Hello, this project is amazing. In general, thank you for your videos !
Here is an idea : can you make an ultra flat air turbine coupled to a generator and measure the electrical output performance in watt ?
Awesome work!
+Scrap wood City Ευχαριστώ! Κι εσύ από Ελλάδα βλέπω!
+johnnyq90 ναι, δεν ελιχα καταλάβει ότι κι εσύ! :)
Break fluid works better for the super glue plus it cleands the part well.
I believe it's safe to say "johnnyq loves his lathe.....................That's some beautiful work Sir..................
genius craftsmanship, neat, nice to watch from fellow machinist.
That thing is SO cool!!!! You should try hooking a prop on the shaft and making a steam boat!!! That would be awesome!
So beautiful and precise - Science ART...
Jewelry work, well done !
Your engineering skills are amazing. Working with such precision in such small scale astounds me. I follow your channel a few years now and i am happy to see you exceed 100K subscribers! The first video i saw was "How to make a Tiny Turbine Wheel" and i was immediately hooked! I haven't watched any of your work for a while and i see you have some new tools in your workshop (lathe) which is cool and will help you create more awesome projects faster and easier.
Μπορώ να ρωτήσω από πού προμηθεύεσαι τον ορείχαλκο και πόσο στοιχίζει;
Ευχαριστώ, συνέχισε την καλή δουλειά!
+Makis Makiavelis Σ'ευχαριστώ πολύ για τα καλά σου λόγια! Τα ακατέργαστα μέταλλα τα προμηθεύομαι από τον Ρέντα στον Πειραιά. Για τιμές δεν ξέρω πως πάει ακριβώς γιατί μπορεί να παίζει ρόλο και σε τι διάμετρο είναι το κομμάτι. Παράδειγμα, για ένα κομμάτι ορείχαλκο Φ50 x100mm, που αν θυμάμαι καλά ήταν στα 600gr, μου κόστισε €17.
Exquisite. Well well done....and I am so happy to see someone working with externally powered devices. External combustion is the answer going forward...until battery's improve or until we gain the use of efficient solar power capture.....
I have seen these tesla turbines act aas water pumps, so i suggest u make another one and use the first one to power the second one as a pump
very sophisticated rotary tool you have -- when i look at the machine doing its soft its so satisfying...but please make the motor run on free source of energy instead of using air compressor
lol nice way to use the lathe as a milling machine.
Every single time I see one of your videos I want a metal lathe more and more.
Perfect, you are a Genius. Please make build more powerful Turbines & Motors and share with us. We are greatfull for your great work.
Do you think you would be able to show us how to turn a dremel tool into a mini-lathe? That would be incredibly useful, at least for small scale projects when you're on a budget.
Beautiful design and workmanship. Particularly enjoyed the slot milling set up, good thinking out of the box! Watched you progress for a long time now and highly appreciate the way you make do with bits and scraps so creatively! Glad you got your Optimum!!! Will consider a Patreon contribution! Thanks for all you share! ~PJ
+pjsalchemy Hey thank you for your nice comment. This is pure motivation fo me ;)
A load, torque, efficiency test would be awesome. Very very nice build.
Have you thought of trying a combustion version with Tesla Valvular Conduit? Couldn't solder anything on that though.
very good job! very nice work. it looks perfect :)
Good design, congratulation.
Man, you're perfect!
Absolutely, defiantly amazing fine metal work, like your video.
Very impressive brother lol amazing works
Wow, your pretty fast with an allen wrench, your little turbine is pretty fast too...
Beautiful work! but there's no love button. awesome video.
Great video. Thanks for sharing
'
very beautifully making the hobby motor...
very skill talent handmake
Heh, that's actually a pretty neat setup to make precision bushings out of spec stock sheet metal. :)
.
If you screw a cutter blade on to a piece of wood 1 cm high, then score the drink can on the sides top and bottom, lightly pressing in the score will separate the top and bottom from a perfectly cut cylinder. You could do this to get a really nice housing for example.
If you remove the brass nipple at the end of the antenna, all the sections come off in one piece. Then you just need to chuck it in the lathe and lightly score it with a cutter as it spins.
+aserta Yes it really helps! Thanks for the advices :)
nice work! but you could have cut the discs first with a slightly larger diameter hole drill bit, then lathe them as you did
wooow dude its an amazing job that you made.
Que bien trabajás !!
Que paciencia
Ótima usinagem com um método eficaz, parabéns.
That's a lot of work
INteresting! that weld was awesome!! ωραιο!!
+Cactus! workshop Ευχαριστώ!
this guy is a expert
good suggestion is to measure power output of turbine. and in future scale up your creations and use them to power bigger machines
cheers
In my line of work I have routinely used air tolls like Gison and other that can hit 100 K rpm and maintain it reliably, these are just simple air grinders and the like...
very well u have done
Hey dude, I reckon it'd be awesome to see this hooked up to a couple of CO2 cartridges and have a propeller on the end of a connected shaft, then put in a model boat or airplane. Thanks for the vids
very ingenious machining
+manu de hanoi Thanks man!
Looks like you spent some time making quality arbors. With just a bit more time you could probably make some dies for the discs and spacers out of A-2 steel so you could quickly reproduce them with a small press.
+Everybody Lies If I were to make a number of these, then yes, it would be very useful.
you should open a shop, a website and sell those things for like $50 up. I'd buy it straight away because I'm a car fan and it reminds me if a turbo blow off valve. :) preps for the work.
dude this was awesome
Mate, this is brilliant. I have tried to make small discs in the past and not been quite happy with the results but not anymore! Thanks again... One quite question though what can a tesla turbine be used for?
A pleasure to watch!
+zigmundslv Thank you!
Build an air compressor next!
They way you can create the item need to run all the tools you create.
*That way
Dillhema, raise volume for the awesome music or keep it low and save your ears? xD
Love the vid very nice work!
What I would like to see that this turbine is combined with a double core spherical reactor. Filed with 2 different liquid plasmas. This turbine will not magnetically interfere with the reactor core. So it will allow to let the fields buildup in the cores.
Amazing, it was the feast for the eyes :)
1) Why more small center exhaust holes instead of fewer larger exhaust holes in the turbine discs?
2) Have you tested its efficiency yet?
3) Have you tested it beyond 20psi / 80K RPM?
Looks great!
:-) Shiny! ...I'm really impressed by the Cyanoacrylate fixturing for the discs---that's a useful trick!
+Tristan Morrow Yeap. It really does help. Seen it in a lot of videos here on youtube.
You should add various weighted loads to the shaft and see how long it takes to spin up and what rpm it reaches with each. I'm interested to see what RPM you get with a 1 kilo disc attached and how fast it spins up.
You could hook a motor onto the output shaft and see if it will pump.
your work is very impressive, you have a lot of skill and wit. I have in mind the idea of building an airbrush and an air compressor. I wonder if the tesla turbine can be used to build a mini compressor of 30 or 35 psi impulsed by one small dc motor?
good turbine
4/6 pole magnetic suspension axial and thrust bearings.
Worm drive to a work load, with an auxillary PTO.
Maybe a winch, lifting a a heavy object... such as one of your most popular past project motors/engines?
Really nice job! Do you think it might be possible to build something similar that would probably run off a gas generator to turn a couple of small turbo pumps?
Pump up in- or de-flattable stuff !!!
such as kiteboard ballon rugby or soccer ball !!!
Show how there air outlet is !
wonderful nice work
I'd use that turbine in something like a die grinder or sander, something that doesn't require a lot of torque
congrats on 100,000 subs
+Bloo Jay he deserve 1,000,000 subs
(he is the best)
ya i would like to see that little turbine put through some kind of dyno to see just what it can do! lol i just don't know how to make a dyno small enough to test the little turbine...
Great Stuff 😎
Add rotor ar with mahents to output shaft. wind coils around, no need for separate generator.
You should build a turbine powered go kart.
