Tesla Turbine Air Motor

Learn how to make a powerful high rpm tesla turbine motor from plywood and aluminum flashing.

Tesla turbine air motor.

Two rods stuck out of. 1 800 rpm electric motor instead of a gas powered engine. The tesla turbine was one of the many inventions of nikola tesla the father of alternating current. Can also be a free energy device if combined with our fuelless engine model 2.

Though many of tesla s other inventions like the alternating current induction motor and power transmission systems remain prominent in society the tesla turbine has languished in obscurity for nearly a century. Build a tesla turbine motor that can run on steam or compressed air. According to the story tesla assembled a mysterious black box containing vacuum tubes wires and resistors. He said his engine can fit into the palm of his hand and can produce about 300 hp x 2 000 rpm s.

You can then run the motor on compressed air to test it. He created a working prototype that achieved 9 000 rpm and generated 200 horsepower which was tested at the new york edison company. I have personally talked with a customer that did a few simple modifications to this design and has built a small 300 hp motor which is no bigger than a man s hat. Tesla was denied a patent for a transmission he designed using his pump and turbine.

Yet power plants use this very design to pump fly ash through a 21 stage vacumn system 14 inch dia. Whether the natural source is air moving water. Thousands of uses for this type of motor. It is referred to as a bladeless turbine the tesla turbine is also known as the boundary layer turbine cohesion type turbine and prandtl layer turbine after ludwig prandtl because it uses the boundary layer effect and not a fluid impinging upon the blades as in a conventional turbine.

The tesla turbine is a bladeless centripetal flow turbine patented by nikola tesla in 1913.
