Ingham, Queensland, Australia - 01/07/12 I have been working with energy devices for 30 years now. I am going to build a High density energy storage system that will store 150 KW of energy. It is based on a Super Hot rock/cast Iron /ceramic tile with a external vacuum chamber to insulate it. I will have a flash boiler and Tesla Turbine running a 6 kw 3 phase alternator to run to my temporary battery and from there too a grid interactive inverter to feed my house and feed back into the grid. The extra energy from my solar panels, wind generator and solar Stirling engine will drive 3 x 3 kw sauna elements to heat the core. I currently have a 3 Kw grid interactive solar system up and running. I am a Telecommunication Technician by trade and have a Associate Diploma in Electrical Engineering.

Alvaton KY - 01/02/12 dantonara.com I would like to join your group. I have built a solar condensing mirror pool heater and want to convert my 10' satellite dish to a steam turbine generator. Your site is very interesting. Has anyone converted a Wankel type engine to steam power? Is the Tesla turbine the very best to use for steam to electricity?
Thank You for your work.

Owasso (will be changing to Tahlequah soon), Oklahoma - 08/01/11 Hello! I'm glad to have found you. I've been thinking for years about building a solar power generator of my own design for years, and now that I've quit my job and am going back to college to finish a music degree now seems to be the perfect time. Integral to the design I have in mind is of course a Tesla turbine (two, actually), a Stirling engine and a 6 foot parabolic dish for proof of concept. - I've scoured the Internet for resources on Tesla turbines and found some good information, however there are some specifics I'm still unsure of, so will be asking some questions (some obvious and stupid most likely).

Davidson, NC - 06/27/11 Has anyone ever tried a Brayton cycle engine? You'd have to have more than one stage for the turbine, and the feed pump to get high enough mechanical efficiency for it to work, since the Brayton cycle requires much more work by the feed pump, to compress the working fluid. There's work going on now at Sandia labs with supercritical CO2 Brayton cycles. Very high thermal efficiencies, with relatively high heat rejection temperatures, allowing smaller cheaper heat exchangers, and better co-generation opportunities.

mrcdb_AT_charter.net
Erie, MI USA - 05/22/11 www.zerwellenergy.com A new energy source has been discovered. I think a Tesla Turbine/pump combo would be the perfect machine to take advantage of the E-CAT technology (see my website) I built my first small TT 20 years ago and ran it at 10K RPM on compressed air. I started looking for a cheap source of steam to run a bigger unit. I found it! I am looking for collaborators to help design and build a Tesla Turbo Generator. It will be around 1300 horse power and run on 700 PSI, 1000° F Steam, at around 3,400 pounds per hour flow. Since a TT does not require superheat and can run on two phase flow, the latent heat of condensation can be Saved and pumped back to the 1 MW thermal E-CAT boiler unit. Do any of your members have the necessary expertise for a project of this scope?

Austin, Texas - 02/24/11 I am interested in building a turbine for power generation, experimenting with and improving efficiency, reliability and sustainability and finding an appropriate fuel source. The end goal is for powering a localized, off-grid community of roughly 40 homes, and then being able to showcase this as a blueprint for other rural and even larger infrastructures. This is independent research for a non-profit, missionary cause. Thank you for your inspiration

I have recently discovered the web site and club as part of my research toward energy cogeneration, ultimately hoping to get off the grid. I have purchased the disc and begun crude fabrication without any direction. I'm very eager to get my hands on the disc and the precious information, to save me from having to reinvent the wheel.

Los Angeles, CA - 01/28/11 I found your site when I was looking for information on torpedo burners and other water injected combustion boiler technology. I was looking for an eco friendly way to use natural gas in a combustion boiler to drive a small impulse or Tesla turbine. The turbine would be coupled to a small generator and the hot exhaust gas would be used to produce additional electrical power using thermoelectric power conversion chips. In your club's site I found that Luis Mendonça's had already done this sans the thermoelectric conversion. I would like to follow your site.

I am interested in trying to build a solar generator and in searching for Tesla turbines I found your site. I have also found some interesting articles on squirrel cage turbines that look like good potential heat to mechanical converters.
The simplicity of the Tesla design fascinates me and your article on the spacing vs hp and torque indicates that Tesla engines may be the best solution for my project. I look forward to reading more at your web site.

I've been interested in Tesla stuff for many years and have a lifetime in precision engineering and steam systems valve manufacture right back to doing an apprenticeship in an ancient factory with lineshafting powered by a big single gas engine. However I don't have facilities now but I have lots of ideas about Tesla turbines that I'd like to run by the club members. Halifax used to be a engineering town with many famous names in lathes and machine tools and machinery but they have all disappeared or amalgamated.

Ada, Michigan - 12/17/10 Hi group, I have been interested in the Tesla Turbine for a long time. I have been in the commercial refrigeration trade for 30 years. I always wanted to make a Tesla Turbine closed loop system using R123 and a solar concentrator. I live only 45 minutes from Lake Michigan, so we have a lot of cloudy days here. The turbine and bearings have to handle the heat and still be able to seal the R123 with no leaks.
