Copperland’s Turbine Builders Club for decentralized energy & transportation
Today Copperland opened the first of five clubs aimed at DIYers who want to build energy & transportation systems to replace polluting machines.
Actually, the Phoenix Turbine Builders Club began in 2000 with a series of projects incorporating Nikola Tesla’s boundary layer turbine concepts. Founder Ken Rieli then led the 1,769+ members in 96 countries into complete turbine generator engines, offering his 4.5-inch Experimenter’s Tesla Turbine plans, kits & custom builds.
In 2011 Ken introduce the New Turbine Workshop, along with his 7.5-inch steam/ORC turbogenerator. This channel features some of the 20+ years turbine projects that led to Ken’s improved disk geometry technology. These improvements have shown a 30% increase in efficiency over traditional Tesla turbines. At the same time, we are projecting 40%-50% thermal efficiency on our Phoenix Turbines using our proprietary Pulse Detonation Combustion cycle.
After a pause in club activities while other projects received Ken’s attention, we are back with video classes on the Phoenix Turbine Builders Club Youtube channel. Check it out!
