Basic De Laval nozzle technology applied to Nikola Tesla's steam turbine, High speed!

Basic De Laval nozzle technology applied to Nikola Tesla's steam turbine, High speed! Tube. Duration : 3.27 Mins.


I got the materials to make a few more nozzles for the turbines. This is my tester running the one-piece thread-in NPT brass nozzle, it is rectangular at end and flared like diagram in previous video. Excellent conservation of steam and steady running with tank pressure holding at 30-55lbs during run. Tuning the ball valve feed is key and the turbines will rev up on breath alone, the rotor/stainless shaft weighs 700-800 grams so not bad at all. britgaskets.ca . DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS!! PRESSURIZING AN UNTESTED AIR TANK CAN CAUSE EXPLOSIONS, DAMAGE TO THE HOSES, BURNS, FIRE, LOSS OF LIFE, AND LOSS OF PROPERTY!! THEY MUST BE ABLE TO TAKE HEAT AND 2-3x PRESSURES REQUIRED. IT MAY ALSO BE ILLEGAL IN YOUR AREA. DON'T EVEN THINK IT!! . 100psi and under is considered "hobby" and I sure trust the tig welds more than say a silver soldered copper boiler. 2 relief valves 1 at 90psi and one at 150psi just to be safe.
