As many will know I'm rather passionate about model engineering, this came up on a forum I'm involved with. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYlP5TEKf2w It just shows Nikola Tesla was quite the genius in other areas besides electricity ! I thought you might enjoy this ? Cheers Grum. --------------------------- Nanny state ? Left at the gate !!

Believing in something false doesn't make it true.

I first saw that a few years back when I was doing some research on the Tesla Turbine. If I recall correctly Tesla intended to use it as an intake valve for the Tesla Turbine when actually burning a liquid in a small chamber just before the inlet to the turbine. It was to be a continuous burning process with the expanding gases forcing the turbine to spin. I have often thought that would be an awesome power plant for an automobile.

I do know several manufacturers are selling the Tesla Turbine as pumps and all reports are they are much more reliable and are much more energy efficient. Have you built one yet? I have seen some of your other works of art in machining. I worked for a large defense contractor in a plant where we had all kinds of industrial machine tools and I was always amazed at what some of those machinists could do. Some of course were just machine operators, but some were real craftsmen.

In my work in the Defence industry I got involved with using air flow to do things, like tell the missile electronics that it was actually flying through the air. That led me into the world of fluidics, you can do clever things. You can make logic elements that switch fluid flow from one channel to another using a control signal that is itself a fluid flow. You could even construct a fluidic computer. Tesla's valve is a fluidic diode. My interest was safety arming systems for all sorts of projectiles where fluidic logic could provide high integrity data.

I didn't know anyone still did anything with them, but I can see some advantages to that type of control system. No worries about EMP! --------------------------- Just because it is on YouTube does not make it real.

Everyman decries immorality

I have had a good think about it and I do not see any application for Tesla's fluidic NRV to be integrated into hhop.

hhop gen 4 relies on field switching creating system isolation with an instantaneous net force imbalance and subsequent reset.

The narrow bore outlet tube in hhop gen 4 is a constant flow resistor creating a back pressure increase in the scalar mass internal field.

A fluid flow control valve is a variable resistor which is great for tuning, but I cannot imagine a use for a fluid diode as zero net work can be extracted from equilibrium.

Something's gotta move..!
