I was told every one of these on my journey making these Tesla Turbines that actually work🦾👨‍🔬🤓

These preliminary tests are just to see how much electrical power can be produced with room temp compressed air driving the Tesla turbine.

6.22ft-Ibs of torque at only 4150rpm and +4.25kW between 6000-12,000 rpm.

The TesTur nozzles never went over 20psi at the nozzle for the 2650watt electrical load test and not over 40psi at the nozzle for the 4250watt dyno test.

This is so I can get a baseline for what to expect as I increase the temps to combustion levels.

When using elastic gasses the counterintuitive thing most overlook is that the viscosity of gasses goes up with temp.

So not only do we see an increase in thermodynamic efficiency from increased temps but the TesTur isentropic efficiency also goes up due to the reduced slip from the increased viscosity.

If you’re interested, check out my YouTube channel for more TesTur information.

I’ve got a lot more in depth videos up there.

The link is in my bio!

And please leave a comment on any video if you have any questions.

I’m always happy to give really in depth responses to everyone.

Cheers!
