Is this your pump larger then your turbine? I forgot. If they are the same size you will only see a small amount of suction. The centrifugal head on the turbine will increase making the pressure build up on the turbine periphery while the pressure in the exhaust space of the turbine drops rapidly with rpm.
I have a video of the suction the nozzle would get on my previous 5 in dual stage. Check it out Dual Stage Tesla Turbine - Low Pressure At The Nozzle Due To The Acting Pump Of The Second Stage
@@CharlieSolis Sweet! I'm really excited to watch your work progress, it's progressing so fast now that you have what you need! You should start a patreon! I would join
Shoot I totally though you were commenting on a different video. Lmao yeah this was just my first one that I was using to test principles I was optimizing before I moved forward with my plans. This on is just the 5” straight stack and yeah the casing wasn’t even remotely sealed off, or is there a stage separator, and I was still getting vacuum at the nozzle, aka very low head.
Keep them coming!
I got plenty more where this came from!

also I am sure you know but sealing up the casing would probably help the vacuum as well.
Yeah 4” drive, 5”in pump.

Nice!
Got some pretty good suction going on, eh?
You know it! This was the perfect prototype to see the principles I was looking/hoping to see come to light with this design.
