Freedom Technologies Open House 

Members arrive from the four corners & beyond

August 2006

Thanks to all for making our Open House a success! We enjoyed meeting club members new & old - Steve Grevemeyer from Florida, Remi Gitts from Montana, Lloyd Prentice from Boston, Craig Fazakerly from downstate Michigan - and Canadians Peter & Nicole Kettenbeil and Gordon Chinnick & kids.

Others popped in during the month-long event as well, keeping us fairly busy. Neighbors curious about renewable energy systems, environmental activists, kids excited about the displays (it was a toss up between the wind tunnel, solar steam demonstrator, and getting to fly the PhoenixJet on the simulator) -- even representatives from industry looking over 21st century technology.

Experimenter's 4.5" DIY Tesla Turbine Project CD 

Order yours today.

Introductory offer ends October 2, 2006!


The "Experimenter's 4.5" DIY Tesla Turbine Project CD" is now shipping -- complete with photos, printable drawings, CAD/CAM files, materials/parts lists & the entire collection of PTBC articles... Everything you'll need to build (or have machined by a local shop) an industrial-quality Tesla turbine.

As I write this, most of the U.S. is experiencing a heat wave like no other! Around the globe, war-torn countries are scrambling to get their hands on any kind of emergency power generator they can find. Awhile back, Ken & I looked ahead to a future plagued by blackouts and infrastructure breakdowns - and decided to help people prepare ahead for hard times. Simply put, if you can create your own steam, you can produce electrical power for lighting, refrigeration or other necessities of life. 

So we put together a compact disk full of Do-It-Yourself information focused on our 4.5" Experimenter's Tesla Turbine, with the expectation that all of our PTBC members will show their support for our efforts.

Whether you want to build a turbo-generator for emergency power, or pursue a fascinating hobby with your grandkids, or set up a university program focused on the real Engine of the 21st Century this CD will get you up & running.

For a limited time (until October 2, 2006) Phoenix Turbine Builders Club members can purchase this CD at our Special Introductory Offer price* ($24.95 + FREE shipping anywhere). The printable PTBC member order form is online at
www.phoenixnavigation.com/ptbc/orderform3.htm - or send an email to orders@phoenixnavigation.com containing your name & shipping address - we'll process your order once we receive your payment in the mail. 

As always, money orders & cashier's checks will be processed immediately. If you send a personal check, shipment of your order will be delayed for a couple of weeks until the check clears. 

With world events spinning out of control & energy prices devouring more of your budget, you would be wise to start NOW to build, experiment with, and use this powerful turbine to generate electricity from home-grown steam.

Ken & I look forward to hearing from you! Support this project, and we'll continue publishing more how-to CDs!

*Universities & companies may contact us about multiple-seat licenses.
