Functional Tesla Turbine (the "BDT" - bladeless disk turbine) on location: operative medium - Propane & Methane Combustion. The pictured Tesla-type turbine and the pictures of its assembly components depict our "third-generation" designs. This BDT Tesla-type turbine can be run on combustion (propane, methane, hydrogen, etc.) steam, water powered, or from compressed air. Tests have been run from combustion, steam, compressed air and water. To date, this turbine, pictured below, has been fully operational since October of 2000, running without any component failure. The particular turbine pictured, is on site in a New Jersey location, fully operational and running from the combustion of land-fill methane gas.

*** ANNOUNCEMENT: The new CHARLIE TESLA TURBINE is now for sale! We will build an improved version of our acclaimed Charlie series Tesla Turbine for any interested person or company. This will be a fully-functional, commercial grade, operational Tesla Turbine. Price for a 100 kW Tesla turbine is $19,999.00 US. Terms: 50% down, 50% on delivery within six weeks. This is not a toy - it will be a commercial grade Tesla Turbine operational on Steam or from combustibles. Distributor rights may also be granted. Contact either Frank Germano - frank at germano dot com, or Martin Dorantes - martin_dorantes at hotmail dot com for details.

This BDT features 304 Stainless Steel construction, throughout, magnetic shaft seals, ceramic high-speed bearings, and Stainless Steel Casing. Total weight of the unit is 104 pounds, including mounting and Combustor. A variable inlet geometry, and my rather novel interpretation of Tesla's own Valvular Conduit Combustion chamber patent, is used allowing true multi-fuel operation. Maximum rated RPM is 18,000. Total maximum HP is approximately 130 SHP. Disk diameter is 10" with 29 primary active disks, plus two tapered end disks. Static labyrinth seals are used for internal case-to-rotor exhaust sealing.

Newly designed turbines will feature a billet aluminum case for even further weight reductions. A newly developed carbon-fiber, titanium impregnated, temperature-resistant plastic casing is also currently in the works. Ceramic composite disks (which are a proprietary carbon fiber interlaced throughout a titanium mesh reinforcement) have been constructed that will operate without failure in environments approaching 3200 degrees Fahrenheit, which makes this design favorable for directly burning Hydrogen as a fuel source.

For full disclosure on the Centrifugal Molecular Implosion Turbine (CMIT) and my InVAID System (Internal Vortex Accelerated Implosion Drive) please contact us. These turbine engines will feature design incorporations combining the features of the Tesla Turbine with that of Viktor Schauberger's Repulsine. A true, functional implosion turbine. Operative fuel - atmospheric air! No other fuel source. A 9 to 1 output vs. input is attainable.

Engineering Report and Performance Figures

Company history: International Turbine And Power, LLC (our former corporate entity) was founded by myself and a group of highly energetic engineers and scientists in 1998. We had one goal; design a working Tesla Turbine and Tesla Pump. This goal became reality. During the 2000, 2001 and 2002 years, several functional prototype turbines were designed, built and tested, with each yielding remarkable performance results. Individual investors and investment companies provided the necessary funding of several  million dollars for this research and development stage. In 2003, the four original founding members of ITP, LLC, dissolved the ITP entity, and have began operations, independently. The new company, "Global Energy Technologies, Inc." with Frank Germano at the helm, has continued production of these revolutionary power and pumping systems. Historical perspective - our BETA, CHARLIE, and Early DELTA series turbines, below. All units are fully functional. These pictures represent only a small sampling of the units we have designed and worked on to date, and are offered as a taste of what we can design for qualified individuals and/or companies. No other company to date has built as many successful, fully operational Tesla Turbines as Frank Germano, Martin Dorantes, Tad Johnson, and Guy Letourneau, P.E., from International Turbine And Power, LLC.
