TESLA TURBINE | What happened?

A bit of feedback: at theend of the video, please make sure the sound doesn't overlap so loudly over what you're saying.

Sorry to hear that your channel isn't doing so well. I think the greatest strength of your channel are the sleek looking, detailed animations of machinery. What I'd like to see are more in-depth technical explanations of how these things work, utilizing those animations.

Invention is like art, if left incomplete by the author , others will be quick to judge wrongly. Tesla was genius

That’s actually a really cool engine, I’d love to see this tuned, refined, and perfected with modern engineering. I bet this could get some pretty nice power output with all the technological advancements we’ve made over the century

Well I never heard of your channel until now, so YouTube recommendations haven't let you down yet

Dont start out with product placement, do it like half way through the video or at the end. When people see that they click away, better after they watch some.

YouTube algorithms just brought me to this video. The quality of the video and subject matter, earned a subscription from me.

Wow, the fonts, animations, kerning, line spacing… just EVERYTHING is insane in this video. What a great presentation. Top quality design work. You are a very rare talent. Great work

Quality > Quantity Superb videos, keep it up.👍

Actually it would seem to have a great application as a power recovery turbine for internal combustion engine, since it does appear to have very good torque at low rpm.........which makes it much easier to gear down to normal crankshaft speeds of an engine. 110hp from something weighing only 4.5kg at 10,000rpm is actually perfect. It only needs 5:1 reduction to reach crankshaft speed instead of 30:1 for other designs. thanks for the video )

Subject Zero. Installation00. Just found your channel. Very glad I did. You're my kind of content creator! Love the technical animations and deep looks into the various aspects of machinery and the like. Great stuff. Subbed. Looking forward to more.

Did I hear someone talk about the Tesla turbine? Your 3D models are amazing (Blender right?) and you did a good amount of research. Great video! The Tesla turbine has some flaws and still lacks a well-defined application but I'm convinced that with some research it will find it's purpose in modern days. Also, I think you just gave me an idea for a video!

The production quality on this channel is through the frickin roof! It always amazes me what one man using mostly free 3D software can achieve nowadays. That's some professional documentary level renderings and graphics. Youtube needs to push more quality content like this!

When I first discovered this channel, I was attracted to the thumbnails. Then when the animations were better than I had even hoped, I subscribed. That is all excellent. My one criticism is that the dialogue meanders. You begin to finally talk again about the Tesla turbine at around 7 minutes. Honestly I'm not discontented with your videos, I'm just trying to make suggestions so you keep making videos. They're always so well done.

I really liked your video. I hadn't heard of this invention yet, it's really cool. Totally got a new subscriber in me. Keep up the great work. I agree with Gnoccy, your animations are really good!

As I remember it from books I've read about Tesla, he came up with the idea, or part of the idea, when he was a kid and swimming in a lake with his friends. There was a dam and he noticed that when he got into the flow of the water, it wanted to push him and take him over the edge of the dam, he panicked and tried to swim away, but the current was far too powerful. He managed to get his body pressed up against the damn to the side of where the water flows over and found that the water no longer affected him at all, it merely flowed around him. Yet, when he tried to move it body away from the dam, he could feel the force of the water was very powerful. He inched his way away from the flow of water keeping his body pressed up against the dam. This effect of the water really made him think. He thought there was something very curious about the principles of water and came up with the theory that when water pushed the turbines which generate power, they can only turn the turbine as fast as the flow of water because the water will also slow the turbine down as the turbine comes back around hitting the water, thus the turbine would never be able to speed up. But, since a smooth surface created less resistance when it comes back around, it might be possible to speed up the turbine in the same way a you can push a person on a swing and keep adding more energy to that person with each push until it becomes quite easy to push the person.

Sad to hear about your channel not doing so well :/ must be the algorithm at play, since your content is spot-on perfect!

I think the turbine could be very effective if run by a waterfall and connected to a generator to produce free electricity. The gear reduction to reduce the speed to become compatible w/ the generator would produce incredible torque, and the mechanical drag necessary to spin the generator could maintain a safe operating speed.
