	Tesla turbine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is referred to as a bladeless turbine because it uses the boundary layer effect and not a fluid impinging upon the blades as in a conventional turbine.
		The Tesla turbine does not use friction in the conventional sense; precisely, it avoids it, and uses adhesion (the Coandă effect) and viscosity instead.
		Tesla subsequently discovered that smooth rotor disks with small washers bridging the disks in ~12–24 places around the perimeter of a 10″ disk and a second ring of 6–12 washers at a sub-diameter made for a significant improvement in starting torque, without compromising efficiency.

		A disk turbine is distinguished form a conventional turbine mainly by the orientation and form of the blades.
		An axial flow turbine is similar to an airplane propeller -- the gas passes in a straight line along the axis of the shaft.
		The mechanical action which drives a Tesla style disk turbine depends on the adhesion of the fast moving gas to the disks as it travels in a spiral inside the disk sandwich toward the center port.

		If you want to run a Tesla turbine when the air at the intake to the nozzle is supersonic, an Oswatitsch intake may involve lower energy losses that this resonator.
		Why, whatever fluid the disk happens to be revolving in is agitated and dragged along in the direction of rotation, because the fluid tends to adhere to the disk and the viscosity causes the motion given to the adhering particles of the fluid to be transmitted to the whole mass.
		The list is used to keep members informed of important updates, new ideas on turbine construction, and for a general forum and outlet on new and innovative concepts in the construction of the Tesla Turbine.

		The successes that he achieved in Colorado led to Tesla's absolute conviction that wireless communication to any point on the globe was possible by the help of devices he had perfected, and set the stage for Tesla's next grand feat—establishment of an international wireless telecommunications and broadcasting facility that was to become known as Wardenclyffe.
		Tesla's study of high voltage, high frequency alternating currents lead to the development of a large variety of vacuum tubes, some of which had medical applications.

		Tesla is the unsung creator of the electric age, without whom our radio, auto ignition, telephone, alternating current power generation, alternating current transmission, radio, and television, would all have been impossible.
		Tesla described the nature of the benefits from his proposed modifications, and reminded Edison that he had worked nearly a year to redesign them and that in doing so, gave the Edison company several enormously profitable new patents in the process.

		Tesla is most widely recognized for his outstanding achievements in the fields of generation, transmission and utilization of electrical power.
		The Tesla turbine was widely recognized in the semi-technical press at the time of the invention (2-7).
		The Tesla turbomachinery is distinguished by the fact that the rotor is composed of flat parallel corotating disks spaced along a shaft.

		In fact, the turbine operated at such high revolutions to the minute that the metal in the discs distorted from the heat.
		Tesla was also the first to warn of an era when flying vehicles without wings could be remotely controlled to land with an explosive charge on an unsuspecting enemy.
		During this period, Tesla spoke out vehemently against the new theories of Albert Einstein, insisting that energy is not contained in matter, but in the space between the particles of an atom.

		Engineers and men of science throughout the world are awaiting with unusual interest the completion of tests of a new steam turbine designed by Nikola Tesla, which preliminary experiments indicate will give enormous power from a comparatively small and extremely lightweight engine.
		The present form of turbine, with an efficiency of about 62 per cent was a great advance, but even in this form of machine scarcely more than 1 per cent or 2 per cent is used in actually generating power at a given moment.
		The new turbine offers a striking contrast, using as it does practically the entire material of the rotor (the whole surfaces of the disks) as an active source of power, and with an efficiency of 80 per cent or even 90 per cent.

		It was invented and patented by Nikola Tesla on the 21st October 1909 at the Untied States Patent Office from experiments done in England.
		Tesla turbines work by using the boundary layer effect, using viscosity and the adhesion.
		Tesla claimed that by keeping the “sudden changes, shocks and vibrations” to a minimum it stops "imparting to, or deriving energy from a fluid, such as pistons, paddies, vanes and blades“.

		Tesla maintains that in the turbine which forms the subject of this article, he has carried the steam and gas motor a long step forward toward the maximum attainable efficiency, both theoretical and mechanical.
		Briefly stated, Tesla's steam motor consists of a set of flat steel disks mounted on a shaft and rotating within a casing, the steam entering with high velocity at the periphery of the disks, flowing between them in free spiral paths, and finally escaping through exhaust ports at their center.

		Tesla notes in his patent that, in an engine driven by a fluid, changes in the velocity and direction of movement of the fluid should be as gradual as possible.
		Tesla's solution: the speedometer cable connects to a disk which spins in interface with a second disk, imparting spin to the fluid in between and, hence, to the second disk which moves the needle.
		Tesla was a celebrity in his poly phase heyday, but today his celebrity is as an underground cult figure known for his radically progressive energy-magnifying, free-energy, and wireless power inventions, which, of course, have no place in the established system.

		Tesla's work on flying craft is perhaps the least well known, and perhaps the most revolutionary in how it would change the way we live if it were implemented today.
		Tesla stated that nations, when detecting invading armies, could destroy their opponent's military units and reduce incoming aerial craft as far as 200 to 250 miles away.
		Tesla was ignored by the US War Department when he told them had been working on some form of teleforce weapon, or death ray.

		Bladed turbines require large volumes of relatively low velocity fluid, whereas Tesla turbines require lower volumes of accurately-directed high velocity fluid.
		Tesla turbines work extremely well with steam, air, or hot gas fed to a slotted nozzle at around 80-160 psi.
		In order to get pulse combustion to work properly with a Tesla turbine, air and fuel must be delivered to the chamber at pressures suitable to deliver approximately 80-160 psi of hot gas to the working rotor nozzle.

		The turbine discs and spacers, (the spacers are usually referred to as "star washers"), were cut from 0.04" polystyrene sheet with tinsnips, then machined to uniform size and shape using a small drill press with a jig that allows it be used as a vertical shape cutter.
		With the bearings pressed into their recepticals, the turbine runner is centered in the turbine housing, and the set screw collars are then slid up against the bearings and their set screws tightened to retain the bearings and fix the postion of the runner in the housing.
		With the turbine side panel remounted, and the holes in the vent plate resized for a loose fit on 6-32 screws, the vent plate is easily installed on or removed from the side panel via 6-32 wingnuts on the side panel 6-32 studs.

		The Tesla Wardenclyffe Project runs through October on Long Island at the Museums at Stony Brook and showcases the ill-fated work in wireless communications and energy that obsessed the prolific inventor in the early 1900s.
		Indeed, many EEs, citing Tesla as their inspiration in their decision to enter the profession, are looking to focus other technologists' attention on Tesla's vision and away from the public perception of him as a "mad scientist." The latter is a perception that Tesla himself may have unwittingly promulgated in his time.
		A Tesla invention demonstrated at an IEEE-sponsored show in 1989 established the essential principles behind what came to be known as the radio and formed the basis for the wireless telephone, the garage-door opener, television and remote-controlled robotics.
