    Hey Everyone! Come check out my latest Tesla Turbine updates on the 10in diameter, 75disc aluminum and plastic prototype drive turbine dyno, 3.75horsepower and 6.22ft-lbs of torque to the shaft at only 4150rpm with a 150psi room temp compressed air supply from a regular piston compressor for now. I’m gearing it UP AT 1:3.6 to dual BLDC gens with a Kv rating of 2200rpm/volt. So for every 611 RPMs on the turbine the generators output 1volt.

    Edit: the fountain could stand to be the most efficient way to exchange heat with the air because this fountain design requires the least amount of ENERGY” to circulate a very large volume of water.

It reminds me of the inverse of those dust collector cyclones, upside down with water. I bet it would look awesome with a clear upper reservoir and some mildly bouyant materials mixed in, so you could see the path of the water.

      If you are giving off heat to the air you want to blow up. If you are trying to absorb heat, ie cool down the surrounding areas with the fountain, you blow the air down. This way you get convective additions.

    You can find formulas for optimizing the effects of this by looking at a compressed air tool called a vortex cooler, or sometimes cryo cooler. You can get over well over 300f on one side and below negative 50f at the other by the vortex pressure differential and centrifugal speed
    You’ll notice the vortex housing on the tool is for all intensive purposes the same thing as the Tesla turbine but missing the rotor disks, the same thing, using the same effect
    The hot and cold sides of the tool represent the humidity/water condensing side driving the impeller connected to Tesla turbine, and the water/steam expansion side driving the power turbine and Tesla pump, cycle repeats(well, sustains really)
    Great friggin job mate. You built the most important part of the whole machine!

    I'm trying to understand how that propeller mechanism works. In the video you linked Evan back to, I thought it was just a triclamp connector you were spinning onto the wider cylinder... lol. Watching on my ipad now, I see it is that whole cylinder that is the propeller, and the shaft goes down through... Maybe? Gonna go study the patent now... trying to visualize exatly how that impeller works.

    Hey Charlie... just wanted to hit your latest video with a couple of thoughts inspired by you and jeremiah's videos and projects.
    Thinking two stages, and just having watched your adjustable nozzle for steam turbine video... I had a quick vision.
    I was thinking two stages, same axle, same housing, turbine and pump/compressor in series, entrance and exits at the perimeter. I found myself envisioning those series stages as one rotor, with a divider plate from the outer housing. Inlet on "left half" a normal tangential perimeter slot (preferrably your adjustable design?), fluid exits at center between shaft and divider plate, and passes directly to center "inlet" of "right half" pump stage. The thing that caught my mind as worth picking your brain about, was what would happen if the tangential exit nozzle on the "pump" side, had the opposite tangential angle, so that the exiting material has to completely change direction to travel out... a sort of "tesla valve" exit...
    What would the differences be with a compressed air, vs cryophorous system using such an arrangement?
    Would anything "magical" happen, when such an aparatus went supersonic at it's perimeter? (Assuming it wasn't fighting it's self too much to do so, with the reverse tangent exit, or even with a normal "direction of flow" tangent to the outlet)
    Would love to hear your physics mind's thoughts on my (possibly not novel) concepts?

    • @CharlieSolis
      @CharlieSolis  2 года назад +1

      Hey orcoastgreen thanks for commenting. Well first off I want to say, be HIGHLY skeptical of ANYTHING you get from Paul the perpetual motion scammer and his videos. He has shown to patently misunderstand basic fluid and thermodynamics over the years. For the first two years I knew him he DEMANDED the speed of sound changes with pressure so he should be able to reach supersonic speeds easier at lower pressure. This is patently false as speed of sound is directly temp dependent.
      That being said Well you want the pumps outlet to be in the same direction because centrifugal pumps utilize the fluid speed at the disc tips to be converted into pressure using a diffuser cone arrangement. The Tesla turbine has the added benefit of the centrifugal head working to aid the pumping action by adding the centrifugal head to the pressure produced via the kinetic energy given to the fluid. This is the purpose of the volute casing as the flow area increases the velocity slows down but pressure increase
      Personally I would think having the outlets in the opposite direction would add to much of an impediment for the fluid to get out. Ultimately you would be operating on the centrifugal head and only the centrifugal head to do the work for the pump.
      It certainly worth trying. And I’ve done a handful of tests where I spun my rotor backwards in the case when I had it set up as a compressor and it didn’t work as well when I had it spinning in reverse.

      @@CharlieSolis - I don't follow paul, only Jeremiah, as I found his diplays of a cryophorous setup very interesting. Paul struck me as kind of a perpetual motion thinker, and focused on tiny turbines that won't do much and have to spin at insane speeds requiring esoteric air bearings. I like your practical, science and logic minded and especially, well documented, open source approach. Some of Jeremiah's displays are impressive, but no one is building a practical CHP system, or documenting and sharing their progress, like you are.
      I was thinking that with the centrifugal forces, if a cryophorous vapor is spun fast enough past a restricted exit, it could force the material to keep spinning til it loses enough heat to condense, and concurrently, enough volume to exit. But I guess that would require a way to get the heat out of that second stage.

      @CharlieSolis  2 года назад +1

      Thank you for the kind words. For the most part I want to be able to 100% predict what will happen in every test before I even do the test. If my predictions of what will happen aren’t close then I’m not seeing things correctly. But thus far everything just keeps falling in place perfectly.
      On the note of the aided condensation. This is the purpose of my Tesla Turbine Interstage Heat Exchanger design that I came up with. If you haven’t seen it yet check it out.
      ruclips.net/video/pYSniitC8DM/видео.html
      And then after the interstage heat exchanger the Tesla pump Multifluid vortex mixer steam condenser design of mine goes as the second stage and draws cooling water in from the opposite side to be mixed with the steam and condensed in rapid motion between the discs.
      ruclips.net/video/qLBqbBPikcc/видео.html
      Yeah Jeremiah does great work I admire his experimentalist abilities. Where I’ll bog myself down with thinking about the details too much, delaying my progress, he’ll just pull the trigger and do it to test it and see what happens. Both extremely viable approaches.

    In a home or a greenhouse, one would want the effects to be non- evaporative, I would think. Definitely in my climate, where excess humidity = mold in a house.
    I see now it is not always meant to have a cover. In my uses of it, I would want one. I could see an "upper 2/3 of an egg" shaped cover, or a truncated cone, for easier manufacture. With vertical fins on the outside for heat dissipation to the air, and a shroud over that, to direct the air down over the fins. The fan impeller and it's housing at the top could be integrated into/attached to that outer shroud, impeller slip fitting onto the top end of the motor shaft, to make service easier.
    For the overall unit, having 3 legs/feet with screw thread adjustment would make sense, as a circular fountain would have to be pretty well level to send water over the edges evenly all around the perimeter.
    Going to go watch this again, as I understand some of it now, as far as my previous questions go, but need to study it more to understand the differences from a traditional fountain, and how you or I might use it for our heat transfer needs.

      @Evan Dunn oh no it was just a fountain. The only place Tesla ever mentions the fountain is for anything other than aesthetics is the two sentences in the fountain patent about how it’s good at cooling surrounding areas and that the fountain could be artificially cooled. Technically I came up with the idea to use it as a condenser heat exchanger but I HAVE to assume Tesla thought to use it this way. It would be quite hubris of me to think he didn’t see this use of it and wasn’t being rather coy about his practicable uses for this.
