Texas - I first built a working model in 1979 based on a magazine article. I have tried several times to improve the design. I built a test stand that would allow me to vary the spaces between the disks while it was spinning. I used air as the working fluid. I used a hollow center shaft. Are you interested in knowing the results of my tests?

Elkton, Oregon -- We live on 40 acres in southern, coastal Oregon. I am interested in building a Tesla turbine for various uses here on the farm (i.e. power generation, pumping, etc). It seems I'm a year behind (or more) as I haven't begun my project as yet; however, I'll try not to pester too much! By the way, I would like to say that your website is the absolute best regarding in-depth information on the Tesla turbine. I too, believe that we need to better develop our resources; isn't it odd that this can be done (in part) by applying century-old technology!

North Miami Beach, Florida – 07/02/07 http://deletium.com I am a major fan of Tesla and love science and engineering. And interesting tidbit about how I got to know about Tesla, when I was young I played a game called Command And Conquer Red Alert and they had Tesla Coils in the game. So I researched Tesla, ever since I was hooked!

Roslyn Heights, New York – I have been working solid every night and day for a year on Tesla "stuff". Have had success. Made a little cardboard turbine model that worked! wow. I build some coils, shoot lightning about from my fingers, all that stuff...but electrical or turbine powered flight, wireless transmission of power (especially) greening the deserts, providing hydrogen, a new electric grid, are just a part of my research. Boy do I need help. Seeing a psyche...lol. sined -- Toby Circus

Rochester, Minnesota -- www.osemi.com  Ken, I have had an ongoing interest in solar power and turbines for some time. I can bring some experience in advanced materials from the semiconductor industry to the club at reasonable cost. I am interested also in solid state PV, and my small company has the capability to make the 37% efficient PV wafers that can be combined with a solar concentrator electrolyzer and turbine to form an entire system. Have you looked at the use of dual fuel (hydrogen + waste oil) in your tesla turbine? Adding 5-7% hydrogen could potentially increase the HP of the tesla turbine because shock wave from H combustion is so very fast. I look forward to purchasing a kit and participating... All the Best

San Jose, CA -- 05/02/06 Like you, I am passionate about the environment. I grew up in LA in the 60's and had no choice about the horribly polluted air I had to breathe. I chose mechanical engineering because I wanted to develop pollution-free solar power generation...  I have a pretty good idea that a 3kW (photovoltaic) system, installed by myself, would result in an out-of-pocket expense well in excess of $20k. I'm thinking there must be a cheaper way... I'm hoping to get some valuable information from your club...  My plan is to build a working system, one way or the other. And, I don't want to have to learn it all on my own. Mankind needs to learn to leverage off of each others skills and knowledge. That accelerates development. Reinventing the wheel is a waste of time.
