Product Description
Travel back in time and experience the excitement of the era by building your very own model Tesla Turbine. Read along as Tesla describes in his own words the principles and incredible capabilities of his turbine. Examine the original Turbine patent descriptions and drawings for yourself and gain an even greater perspective of this amazing invention. Also included in this book are step by step instructions in the form of detailed photos and drawings showing how to construct your very own Tesla turbine. Not an exact replica of the original, but one that has been simplified, thus making it much easier to build than the original. The result is an impressive model measuring 3-1/2β wide x 6β long x 4β high. Although it comes in a small package this turbine generates impressive power. The model as detailed rotates at speeds in excess of 5000 rpm at 80 psi of air pressure. And it has the capability of running either clockwise or counterclockwise at these speeds. Building the turbine requires basic metal working ability including the cutting, grinding and shaping of metal. You will need a small metal lathe capable of turning at least a 3-1/4β diameter, a drill press and/or milling machine, a hacksaw or bandsaw and an assortment of hand tools including metal cutting snips, screwdrivers, wrenches etc. This is an amazing project and one you are sure to enjoy. But be careful. Once you start you wonβt be able to get enough of Tesla and his amazing inventions. The more you learn the more you will realize that Nikola Tesla was truly a genius light years ahead of his time.

• Tesla's Turbine 25 March, 2008
This little booklet will apeal a big deal to those "Do-it-yourself'ers" like myself. The text and drawings are self explanatory and stright forward. Anyone with some experience in machining can obtain great results at building this turbine as it is in the text, or with minor modifications enlarge or reduce it following your needs as Tesla did. Great entertaining too!Building the Tesla Turbine
