I can't find any info supporting for this. Tesla died alone, and had been alone for days.

Why doesn't the air go out the other "inlet"? Does it have a one-way valve? If either the video or Wikipedia article explained then I missed it.

So there must be a reason why this isn't more popular in industry?

Correct me if I'm wrong (I can't find reference for it now), but I read a biography on Tesla a few years back and it claimed he came up the idea for the turbine when he was playing around as a child still living in Croatia (obviously the patent was applied for many years later).

If that's true, then who cares how efficient is is compared to today's turbines. Thats fucking awesome.

sage in all fields.

Someone even points out in the youtube comments that this isn't really a great invention. This video doesn't explain it very well either in my opinion. I'm totally unclear what the advantages of this might be over ordinary turbines.

You couldn't do anything with this, could you? I imagine the torque it produces is too insignificant to be able to power anything.

How Dow this compare to some of today's turbines? I've never seen a bladeless turbine..

Isn't this the opposite of what turbine pumps do?

That model could seriously use some bearings.
