  • Have you considered printing one, sanding and refining it then making a mold with 2 part silicone. Then you can quickly cast multiple copies with 2 part epoxy resin, all smooth and ready to stack.
  • You are a God send to those of us who love to learn. Even if people don't DIY we still learn a ton of stuff. This is a welcome channel. It helps to drown out the stupidity in this world today. Thank you Sir. We love ya
  • Sent my son a lengthy, excited text about this project. You’re bringing families together! ❤😊
  • Theres a paper out there on making "cupped" Tesla turbines, the idea came from wood cutters needing to be a "cupped" blade so it straightens as the speed increases and the blade gets hotter
  • @eskanderx1027
    Love how much fun you're having testing all these ideas out!
  • @manminusblood
    Very much enjoying your show. I think what you’re doing is important and useful; in addition to being very educational.
  • @WillBeebe
    Thanks for sharing this, fascinating stuff as usual!

    Just Incase you didn't know the Tesla Turbine doesn't need to operate at high RPM's to achieve results, the efficiency increases as the surface area increases and the gaps between the blades decrease. Tesla also filed a patent for an upgraded turbine number 186,082.

    Spiral grooved hyperbolic nested discs will lead you straight to Viktor Schauberger... I'm very excited to see what you'll do next!
  • I just found this channel, and I am already hooked! While watching this, it made me wonder if the inside of the cones could be designed to utilize the coanda effect to create low pressure inside the system and suck even more air in from the top? Some of the designs I have seen get up to 15x more air that way. It would be like a Dyson's fan laying vertical where the Tesla Turbine would replace the small fan in the base. Also, when the prototype is held up, you can see through quite a bit of it. I think fins the start out at the edges (connecting one layer to the next) and spiral into the cone would capture more air. Basically make it so the entire cross section catches air, not just the cone in the middle.

    Oddly enough, I had thought of this many years ago. Idea was to make this from oil funnels. If you were to allow them to move freely and wobble, the effects will be much greater. Maybe a small plastic spring between each for movement and friction. The wobble is for low airflow running. Love everything you are doing.....

    The jolly eureka laughter is worth listening to all day! Gold brother! Thank you for these videos - gives sparks!
  • For an omni directional you may want an external guide deflector, either in four or eight vanes, coming out in a bit of a pseudo rosette, (other descriptions may cause issue as seen from the top), such that fluid movement is guided to push to single direction of spin, as well as no countering forces.
  • the conical tesla turbines design looks similar to of a self inflating valve..which kinda makes sense .. the two elements of tesla turbine withat that darwin base generatorstacked almost seem to create that toroidal effect ..which is also making big advances in blades for drones and shallow boat props... ..very intriguing series ..great fun . cheers

    Greatly enjoying as always Robert, been keeping up with all videos.wondered if a rough or dimpled surface would grip more air to get better turning force for the same input over a smooth surface. Fantastic your free uploads, these printers seem a great way to do complex shapes For many projects. All the best Rob. Shame Luke didn't get the battery for twingo.

    Fantastic work Rob! 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧
