Last year’s presentation demonstrated a 3 inch diameter Tesla Turbine operating in the cryophorus mode whereby a hot and cold take under vacuum with a turbine in the middle can create a high speed rotation, which can produce electricity. This year, you will witness a production ready prototype of a 6″ diameter Tesla Turbine operating in the same mode, which has already been tested without an electrical load at over 42,000 RPM, which equates to a peripheral speed, which is faster than Mach 1. The goal is to develop this into a viable powerplant.
After the conference, at 260F, the turbine produced 1300 watts. Part of that test is in the preview video but is not included in the conference presentation.
See the preview video on the presentation page.
Tesla Turbine Powerplant
The 2022 Energy Science & Technology Conference presentation demonstrated a 3″ diameter Tesla Turbine operating in the cryophorus mode, whereby hot and cold taken under vacuum with a turbine in between them can create a high speed rotation, which can be used to generate electricity. In the 2023 presentation, you will witness a production ready prototype of a 6″ diameter Tesla Turbine operating …
