4.5" TT Update: 

As soon as Ken finishes the 4.5-inch Experimenter's Tesla Turbine he's building for a member in California, it's on to the CAD CD's... We will resume turbine builds AFTER the August 2006 Open House. 

Tesla Turbine Plans CD Coming Soon! 

Helping You to Prepare for Hard Times Ahead.

April 2006

Are you waiting for an Act of Congress to reign in the Oil boys? Get real. The Bush gang and Republican-dominated congress have trashed the U.S. economy and there's no relief in sight. Truthfully speaking, the national debt is NEVER going to be paid off, and our utility and fuel prices are going in only one direction -- UP.

Maybe you think you can drag out your shiny gasoline/diesel generator during future blackouts and get by with candle lights.

Personally, I like candles. Ken & I have lived in a couple of "survival" situations where candles, kerosene lamps and hauling water in jugs were our mainstay. We also spent three years in South America working with the very poor, who didn't have even candles. Down in Colombia, power company crews were constantly scouting rural areas for illegal hookups to their lines. As soon as they left, up went new lines.

Believe me, life is boring without electricity. 

In times when traditional fuel is unavailable, you can't beat steam power derived from local resources: solar heat, waste oil, or easily-gathered combustibles, wood, hay, stubble... And if you can produce steam, you can generate electricity.

Last year in our home-school, I read a story about the Titanic to our grandkids. We learned that it's not wise to head out without enough survival gear, or to wait until the last minute to flee from a sinking situation...

Ken & I want to see all of our PTBC members and their families survive hard times ahead. That's why we invested our time & money into tooling and materials for the 4.5" Experimenter's Tesla Turbines. And it's why we're introducing the new Tesla Turbine Plans CD.

On this CD, you'll find all the CAD files, drawings & articles you'll need to build (or have someone else build) the 4.5-inch Experimenter's Tesla Turbine. And you'll learn how to harness steam to make your own electricity.

We hope all of our Club members take advantage of this offer while it lasts. You never can tell what twisted turns the economy will take...
