It's possible to use?

[Speedx]

Hello i want to use my Tesla turbine to run an ac single phase alternator 5kw.it is possible?
Is there a formula to know how many air pressure you need to run a 1kw generator?

Tesla turbines are controversial in there applications. Generally they very high speed in there applications. Most of the alternators used in practice here are low speed.
Some questions- how many disks will you use and what type of nozzle's will you use. I have a lot applications and have experience with steam engines.

Weave got bigger problems than the images issues. Flavio hates our host and I just don't think we can recover from that.

Speaking of the host they just directed me to recover/ Point MX record bunch of other stuff and I have control again. I remember solving this problem before way back.

That one you messed up the upload, you tried to copy/paste it from somewhere.
Whenever I try to upload it always works fine...

I want to use tesla turbine to run AC alternator single phase 5kw.i didn't build a previous tesla turbine. So i don't have a clue, about size of disk and the number of them, size of nozzel. General idea is to use it for run allready made ac alternator that run on 1500 rpm. I want to know how many hours can run If i have a 100L compressed air?
I want this concept to be applied to diy axial flux generator.
It's working as looping system.

At 5kw you will only have a couple minutes of power from 100l of compressed air.  If you think about it, a 5kw compressor would fill a 100l tank in about a minute.  The same applies when going the other way.

Ok thanks.
