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

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

this was directed at the "You do realize the extreme irony of someone named pyrotorch wanting to freeze something.." comment haha
I'm actually really interested in all your videos, great stuff. Keep it up I finally found an interest in something related to science :)

What a concept! I think Archimedes said" give me a lever long enough and I will move the world!"

Bigger version could be used as vortex weapon to sink ships ?

Now I have something to do with all those CD's and magnets laying around here. Seriously, very cool stuff, dude.

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