Newhall, California – 20 year veteran of movie spfx, I have my own machine shop which includes 24X18x56 Kent CNC 3 axis mill,10x24 Hendey Lathe, 8X24 Harding lathe. I am building a 5" x 8 turbine. Billet aluminum housing with stainless steel runner.

Rutherford, Tennessee 

Heber city, Utah -- http://xdobs.com  I am considering a Tesla turbine in a closed loop solar thermal electric generation system. We already have a primitive turbine that works on stirling principles but would be interested in comparing efficiencies, cost and maintenance requirements. We are designing for 10 year maintenance free operation. We are interested in a turbine that will be roughly 3 inches in diameter and want to see what the minimum pressure / flow requirements are to start the rotor moving. The Fluid flow will be a very wet steam or expanding water.

Minneapolis, Minnesota -- Very interested in this turbines, but I am quite a newbie and eager for information. Thanks

Summitville, Indiana -- this is not about myself but I have been all through your site and I, how do I say this, all this information is extravagant, very informing, and real to life. I'm with you guys all the way on forms of new power, I heat my house with corn (it costs about $250 for one year, everyone around me using electric or gas pays up to 10 times that.) I'm all about saving money and this world, even though my wife thinks I'm a little crazy at times, lol. I'm a 32 year old tool and die maker with the access to the shop during closed business hours, I have built many things including a jet turbine engine (miniature of course). My capabilities are endless and I would love to become a member of this club and it's intelligent members.

Henderson, Nevada

Mendon, Michigan --  I am an electronics student and an electrical experimenter which led me to probe deeper into the inventions of the great Nicola Tesla. Machining is a hobby of mine so building a bladeless turbine out of old pipe fittings and a few chunks of scrap steel seemed like a fun project. I just wanted to see if this gadget really worked as well as portrayed. I came up with a hollow shaft design with 5 2-1/4" runners turned from a solid bar of scrap tool steel and made a housing out of 2-1/2" black pipe fittings. A 4-port nozzle was easily fabricated out of copper tubing. When I hooked the 120 psi compressed air in my shop to it it accelerated so rapidly that I think it was close to grenading before the air could be disconnected. Since then I have attempted to use the turbine as a water pump without much luck, due in most part to leaky pipes that were distorted during welding. The thought of a Tesla pump has compelled me to build another one but this time I have precision ! machined each component. It is now near completion and I would like to be a member of this club to share interest in this fantastic device.

Colorado Springs, Colorado -- Have an active interest in learning how to take advantage of emerging and alternative energy technologies

Cucamonga, California -- Energy generation enthusiast

Schaumburg, Illinois --  I am your typical mad scientist, I like to design and build stuff and things. I spend most of my time doing industrial engineering for others, redesigning their stuff into a product that can actually be built and making assemble tooling that will save them time and cut cost. For relaxation I build stuff for myself and am comfortable working with wood, metal, and electronics. I like old steam engines and am fascinated by Tesla's turbine.
