Description:

Take a journey to the center of a vortex. A beautiful whirlpool is created by the magnetic coupler inside a tall CD cover, driven by the Tesla CD Turbine on faucet water pressure. The Tesla CD Turbine is a little home-made turbine that thinks it can do anything. See the Tesla CD Turbine Site at http://www.cdturbine.com For more pics, videos and info on how to build this Tesla CD Turbine see my instructables at http://www.instructables.com/member/mrfixits/ Also, see more SinkScience Videos at http://ca.youtube.com/MrfixitRick

I like that you build with CD/DVD media, and cases. Along with magnets and water flow/pressure prime mover. You did a very nice job with balance of the machine, and the vortex that it produces. It seems the disc arrangement inside their case helps prevent offset. Is there any reason that you have used a 5-disc stack? Could 2, or 3 work? Would an impeller between the discs help, or is it just the amount of magnets required to get the torque (power)? Thanks and nice work, Joe

Thanks. In retrospect, I would do the Punch Bowl thing differently; YouTubers are a tough audience!
