Bakersfield, CA -- 05/07/07  Hello, My name is Jefferson and I like to become a member and find out more about clean energy. I am hoping to be able to purchase or build a Tesla turbine electric generator very soon! I am a beginner and would like to know if these specifications can be achieved: Input: 40 - 70 psi. Output: 14.2 VDC , 10 - 20 Amps If you have any additional information, please e-mail me. Thank you and best regards, Jefferson

Rye, Colorado -- Brief? How brief? Hmm, 17 years old. Still in school. Obsessed with science, all science, pyrotechnics, chemistry, biology, physics, electronics, pretty much everything. I have never attempted to construct a turbine or any other form of internal combustion but it is my goal to accomplish this soon. I can probably get my hands on some metal working equipment soon so this will be a nice challenge for me. These interest me because of their immense power/weight ratio. I intend to put one of these in a vehicle at some point and am hoping to find some useable information about metal grades and parts and stuff that I would need to know to build one of these.

Mt. Clemens, Michigan -- I like to keep busy in my free time. I have built a tiny travel trailer for camping so as to maximize our camping experience while using a little energy when traveling. I am currently working on a modified babington burner. I have been looking for a way to harness the tremendous amount of heat energy it produces to generate electricity. I found TBC while looking for a steam engine i could build cheaply to generate the electricity.

Owatonna MN 55060 -- 02/25/08 www.solarthermalelectric.org  I need a turbine!. Please check out my website. I have plenty of other work to do as you can see. I could build a turbine but do not have the time. I would like you to donate a turbine to me and in turn I will supply you and your website with all of the data that I am able to acquire from my solar experiments.

I'm interested in building a demo Tesla turbine (maybe from aol disks) that runs on compressed air. I would like to find blueprints for such a device if anyone has them to share. I can also help out anyone who is interested in getting a Patent.

Parkersburg, Iowa -- www.lavelle.us This is a pretty interesting website, particularly if it really produces what it says it can. My main interest is going off grid completely using a small turbine powered by solar steam, either a small heliostat or parabolic dish/mirror. I'm also interested in building my own generator, the idea being, that if I've built the system it will be 1) Simple, by default and 2) Maintainable by me.

Richlands, Virginia -- I am a woodworker who tried to create some jobs in my home town. VERY BAD idea! In my nest life, I will be moving off grid and concentrate on making a living and not money. I am learning metal working and have an 11" rockwell lathe, South Bend Verneir Mill, and Taiwanese Mill/Drill. I am very interested in Steam Power. I want to get back into molding and will need about 75-100 KW to run mill with waste heat used to heat home and dry lumber.
