Mildly autistic, wildly optimistic, slightly artistic and completely synergistic!
I’m creating Tesla Turbine machines and DIY home power generator products - including solar collectors, thermoelectric, thermoacoustic, photocatalytic, and piezoelectric devices. More coming soon!
When I started this endeavor my main point was to prove that the Tesla Turbine doesn’t need super additions like outrageously high RPM capable discs or frictionless bearings to make it work and work effectively! We just need to design the disc stack correctly and we can use basic off the shelf parts to achieve practicable uses. We’re not making these for NASA, we’re making these for the average person to be able to put in their home and easily repair it - part of TesTur’s “Planned Permanence” design philosophy… simple, inexpensive, and easy to work on.

Creative, curious to a fault, a seeker - but more aptly, a finder - and always learning!
Since I was a little boy, I’ve been inspired by cutting edge technology, extreme weather and Tesla’s story. Solving the problem of increasing humanity’s energy in a clean fashion has been my goal since the age of 16. I believe that we are experiencing a pivotal moment for our species - one in which we can become mutualistic symbiotes with the superorganism that is Earth.
