4.5" Tesla Turbine Hot Rotor Kit

Basic Kit Assembly

 Back Basic Kit Assembly Detailed Instructions

Introduction

The Phoenix 4.5-inch Tesla Turbine Hot Rotor Kit is designed and manufactured to the highest standards, using quality 304 stainless for the disks and 18-8 stainless for hardware. Tooling is high speed steel of USA or quality import origin.

Before we begin, let's review a few basics:

bulletAlways use protective gear such as safety glasses and ear plugs.
bulletSince stainless steel is a very hard metal, always use low speed on your machinery, and plenty of oil or coolant on the bit.
bulletAnd while this kit may be completely finished using hand tools, a small lathe and drill press make the job easier and yield superior results.
