North Canton, Ohio -- I am a retired mechanical engineer. I have been puzzled as to why we (US) have never mass produced turbine powered cars. During my investigation, I found the Tesla Turbine. I may not actually build an engine, but I am very interested in the theory involved!

Brian Upton

mondrayx@earthlink.net

Fort Worth, Texas -- 08/28/07 I am currently gathering TONS of resources, in preparation for retirement/remote/off-grid living. To further load the system: my BRAIN suddenly woke up, about five years ago, and now I seem to have a VORACIOUS appetite for information. I want to build EVERYTHING! I am a serious THINKER (outside the box) and I have spent about 55 years taking stuff apart, and cataloging the information I receive this way. Now I would like to try my hand at PUTTING SOME STUFF *TOGETHER*, and at 65 years of age, I don't have much time. :) So I need ALL THE EXPERTISE AVAILABLE, from others, as I can profit from all their engineering time. (right. I'm something of a leech)

Mooresville, North Carolina -- I build racecars in North Carolina . I'm extremely interested in anything that has a lot of power and goes fast . I want to build an engine that lives up to Tesla's expectations of 10 horsepower per pound . I haven't started yet but have been thinking about it very much . I understand how to build the engine but can't think of a proper way to build a combustion chamber . If anyone could give some insight or possibly drawings or pictures it would be greatly appreciated.

Atlanta, Georgia -- geocities.com/jimwig2000 A neophyte in turbine knowledge. I came across the site and the exact design I had envisioned was there in glorious color. My idea had been in my mind's eye for over twenty years. A parabolic reflector -- concentrating solar to produce a high temp gas -- turning a turbine to produce electricity. Thanks for the great site.

Although the body and interior are in nice condition, the sale value of the car is about $150. Thus it is a great little candidate for an alternate power plant...

Rockford, Illinois – 05/30/06 I have been following the solar dish and turbine project for several years. I have an 8FT polished AL dish that's ready for a generator to be placed at the focal point. All I need are ideas on how to construct the generator. The dish is also ready for the sun tracker with actuators installed for azimuth and elevation. I like the idea of using a PIC to control the dish aiming.
