Abstract
Tesla turbine is a bladeless centripetal flowturbine patented by Nikola Tesla in 1913. It isreferred to as a bladeless turbine because it usesthe boundary layer effect and not a fluid
impinging upon the blades as in a conventionalturbine

Introduction The job of any engine is to convert energy from a
fuel source into mechanical energy.
At the beginning of the 20th century, two types ofengines were common.
1)Turbine engine 2)piston engine

Tesla's new engine is a bladeless turbine, which would
still use a fluid as the vehicle of energy, but would bemuch more efficient in converting the fluid energy intomotion.

The three key efficiency
points of tesla turbine are:
The inlet nozzle
Disk geometry
The outlet nozzle

Construction
There are mainly 2
parts in the turbine.Rotor :-In the rotor it consistsof series of smooth discsmounted on a shaft. Eachdisk is made with openingssurrounding the shaft.
Stator :- The rotor assembly
is housed within a cylindricalstator, or the stationary partof the turbine. Each end ofthe stator contains a bearingfor the shaft.

MethodologyThe assembly consists of three main parts :-
1] The power unit
2] Paraglider prototype3] Radio control unit

1. The Power Unit:-It consists of the tesla turbine powered by an air compressor. The output shaft of the turbine is fittedwith a suitable propeller.
2. Paraglider prototype :-It is easy to build & easy to maneuver. A rigid
frame is used with a suitable fabric.

3. Radio control unit:- A transmitter, receiver and servo set of 2.4Ghzis required. The servos will control all themovements, including the throttle. It will all be
controlled from the ground station via transmitter .

AdvantagesSimple in construction.
Corrosion and cavitation is less.
Pollution free.
Low cost to produce and maintain.
Lower design and production costs than standard turbines, jet engines and pumpsBlade-less
High-speed (100,000rpm+ can be achieved)
Advantages

Low friction (uses boundary layer effect , adhesion + viscosity rather friction)
Reversible
Can be run on a vacuum
Can be powered by air, steam, gasses or liquids
Lower complexity the conventional Jet Engine
Can be used as a pump by rotating the shaft
Advantages

Advantages
Quieter in operation than conventional machinery
Noise is more white
This type of equipment can be operated at a wide range of workingmedium parameters without any danger and malfunction.
It is not so sensitive to a partially polluted working medium, since the fluidflow is parallel to disks, so it can be operated with saturated steam.

Disadvantages
Low rotor torque
Often not suitable for a direct replacement for conventional
turbines and pumps, without changes to the machinery it is interactingwith.
Proof of its efficiency compared to conventional turbines is stillquestionable and needs more research
It has remain underdeveloped and hence design improvements are stillbeing made
