Hi; This is Peter Singfield here in Belize -- Central America. "Jonathan" is posting these messages to me to post to the this list -- as apparently he is having problems "joining". I did an investigation into Tesla Turbines a few months back. Met a number of Tesla affictionarios that keep me informed. It is my personal opinion that not much of value has been achieved to date in this area. But the people on the Tesla lists are very dedicated, to proving to the world, otherwise. This latest information is quite amazing -- am hoping someone on this list in the Denver area can verify: "The 250 kWe tesla turbine is being produced by EPI out of Denver." You can find all kinds of info regarding Tesla Turbines at the following Urls: start here: http://www.execpc.com/~teba http://frank.germano.com/page2.htm Then: http://www.mynetplace.com/simple/?turbine(Disk Turbine Plans) http://www.gold-mountain.co.nz/lostech/testurb.html(I.C.Disk Turbine) http://www.voyager.co.nz/~djyoung(Disk Type Gas Turbine Project) http://www.execpc.com/~teba(Tesla Engine Society) http://www.pfranc.com/projects/turbine/top.htm(Home Brew Gas Turbines) http://sesusa.hypermart.net(Stirling Cycle Engines) http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Launchpad/5465(Ringbom Engine) http://www.uidaho.edu/engr/ME/sr_des/hev/stir/(Ringbom Engine) http://www.qrmc.com/animationtext.htm(Stirling Cycle Aero Eng.) http://home3.inet.tele.dk/kennethm/pulse.htm(Pulse Jets) http://www.mtsc.unt.edu/CooLN2Car.html(LN2 Powered Car) http://www.layo.com(Gizmo for Generating H2 From H2O To Run Car) http://www.batc.org.uk/(Info.
