[Rick] has been building Tesla turbines in different methods as well as publishing his jobs to youtube. For those who are unfamiliar, a tesla turbine is a fanless turbine that utilizes a smooth central disk spun by friction from a gas or fluid. considering that the turbine itself has no protrusions, it is very stable. There are great deals of other benefits, which can be explored on the Wikipedia page. [Rick], as you can see from the video above has discovered a number of utilizes for them, from Halloween props, to generators for lights, to an automated shake flashlight shaker, you can even enjoy him rev one as much as destruction. though a lot of of these are at fairly low speeds, he has shown that he can make one from CD spindles that is steady sufficient to reach 10,000 RPM. [Rick] admits that all they truly do is spin quick as well as make great noises, however they do that quite well.
Update: moments after this was published, we discovered an instructable by [Rick] on exactly how to develop a blender utilizing a tesla turbine.
