In this SinkScience episode, Mrfixitrick shows the Tesla CD Turbine running on water-pressure, as the experimental testbed.

The spinning CD Turbine engages a magnetic coupler, rotating it. The coupler acts as a Magnetic SuperStirrer as water is impelled through it, forming a vortex in the bowl. A BIG Vortex!

    The bottom is my SinkScience Tesla CD Turbine. It's a turbine made from CD discs and neodymium magnets, with a nozzle hot-glued onto the side of the CD Case. It's running on faucet water pressure.

    It's based on the Tesla disc turbine design, except for the magnets which I use to drive and spin things.
