Successful Tesla Turbine Tests
Establishes Tesla Type is the Only Capable of Direct Biomass Conversion
Findings Bolster “Total Flow” Geothermal Claims
The question was asked; Can the Tesla turbine
survive direct biomass combustion, as proponents of the
technology have repeatedly declared. Claiming that it
can survive, unimpeded, in
the most difficult of
service, including direct
connection to salt brine
geothermal sources. A
conventional turbine would
be destroyed, in short
order, under such service.
To test these extraor-
dinary claims, in the wake
of the California "Energy
Crisis" a $75,000 grant was
awarded by the California Energy Commission, toward
testing by the Energy & Environmental Research Center
(EERC), at the University of North Dakota, Grand Forks.
It was reported by the EERC that a Tesla type tur-
bine was tested continuously for over forty hours, em-
ploying the direct combustion of oats. The Tesla turbine
passed these tests, with flying colors, without any de-
tectable damage or degradation, exactly as had been
claimed. This type of operation
would be completely impossible
with a conventional turbine!
This test was, however,
crude and under funded. The
turbine being severely compro-
mised, as it was not intended
for this test but was the only
turbine available for donation.
The EERC never even joined
TEBA or acquired any of the
available documentation. The
$75,000 was instead quickly
consumed, apparently by admin-
istration and overhead. The test
turbine was alternatively pro-
vided by TEBA member John
Pickard, previous testing of which was featured in TEBA
News #14. This turbine had matched Tesla’s conver-
sion efficiency, proven the highest documented of any
turbine in its class. It was removed from its combined
cycle boiler and sent to the EERC for test.

The EERC, however, lacked funds for a proper test
stand, and sufficient applied pressure could not to be
generated for application to the turbine. This prevented
proper nozzle saturation and
resultant velocity and
restricted the turbine from
achieving its rated opera-
tional speed. Making it
impossible to accurately test
conversion efficiency.
Efficiency can not
simply be extrapolated from
low speed operation, as
proposed and submitted by
the EERC testing. A little
research would have quickly determined that the Tesla
turbine has an extreme torque knee (90
o
), unlike a
conventional bladed turbine (see TEBA News #19).
Efficiency of the Tesla turbine has repeatedly been
established, however, therefore reducing this testing to
the important determination as to the turbine’s ability to
continuously ingest solids without damage.
It has now been proven, beyond any reasonable
doubt, that the Tesla turbine can
easily survive in service that
would quickly destroy a conven-
tional type. This effect has also
been proven in current commer-
cial Tesla type turbo pumping
applications, having been
declared a “Quantum Leap.”
This ability, now estab-
lished in the power turbine mode,
should allow for the affordable
conversion of abundant, clean,
geothermal energy, without the
environmental and technical
disadvantages created by the use
of conventional bladed turbines.
It has been reported that the salt
brine geothermal potential, of Southern California alone,
is enough to power the entire Country, many, many
times over. The Tesla
“Total Flow”
system clearly has
the potential to revolutionize the established self
destructive power production paradox.
