Fort Worth, Texas – The time is NOW. Let's work together to make TT's as common as the IC piston powered engine! Please email me with anything to do with TT or if you have a project that you are working on which only lacks financial resources. I am trying to bring the two together. I am interested in TT's both as PUMPS as well as "engines."

Makes it difficult do to my real job (Project Design Engineer for pneumatic conveying and dust handling systems) since my head is full of a million applications for this underutilized technology. Eventually I'd like to see these used for off grid power production, cars, trucks and small plane use.

Lindale, Texas -- I am planning on building a compressed earth block home & I need some sort of emergency back up generator, & I just heard about this Tesla bladeless turbine. Absolutely fascinating idea. What would it cost to build one large enough to provide limited power to keep a home going maybe for a few days, using only essential things in an energy efficient home? Just a Kinda sorta answer or guess will be very appreciated.

I am very interested in the concept of "distributed power generation". It looks like this club is aligned with my same goals. I want the common man to have his own cheap source of power with the capability of sharing excess with others. -- I am in the market for a sterling engine to use on a solar concentrator, preferably with electrical generation built into the engine. Anyone have any leads?

I'm using the steam to boil my mash for ethanol fuel production but have an excess amount of steam pressure that seems to go to waste. I've been looking for anything on Tesla's turbines and finally found your site. Do you have any conferences, seminars or anything coming up this year? Thanks, Terry
