SawBlade Steam Turbine

Has this one been done before

I have had this idea for while. These are all the parts.


The main part is the 48 tooth blade.


This is a full view of the blade.


Here is the turbine assembled and sitting on my pool table.


I am holding the turbine here. It has been tested to 10,000 rpm and will be further tested in the future.


I will post results of steam tests and high-speed alternator link.

i have been wanting to do one of those forever!

with the ability to get precision laser of waterjet parts cut today
it would be much easier to do than it was years ago

i would like to do one that is about 24 inches in diameter and a quarter inch
thick rotor.

or a direct mounted one on a truck alterntor somewhere around 12 inch diameter.

looking forward to your testing results

That's really cool, I'm anxious to see how much power you get out of it. Did you make that blade?

I am not fully understanding how the steam flow will act on the turbine. where does the steam enter and where does it exit? This is like no other turbine I have seen.
