Functional Tesla Turbine (the "BDT" - bladeless disk turbine) on location: operative medium - Propane & Methane Combustion. The pictured Tesla-type turbine and the pictures of its assembly components depict our "third-generation" designs. This BDT Tesla-type turbine can be run on combustion (propane, methane, hydrogen, etc.) steam, water powered, or from compressed air. Tests have been run from combustion, steam, compressed air and water. The particular turbine pictured, was tested on site in a New Jersey location, and was fully operational and running from the combustion of land-fill methane gas and/or steam.
Newly designed turbines will feature a billet aluminum case for even further weight reductions. A newly developed carbon-fiber, titanium impregnated, temperature-resistant plastic casing is also currently in the works. Ceramic composite disks (which are a proprietary carbon fiber interlaced throughout a titanium mesh reinforcement) have been constructed that will operate without failure in environments approaching 3200 degrees Fahrenheit, which makes this design favorable for directly burning Hydrogen as a fuel source.

For full disclosure on the Centrifugal Molecular Implosion Turbine (CMIT) and my InVAID System (Internal Vortex Accelerated Implosion Drive) please contact us. These turbine engines will feature design incorporations combining the features of the Tesla Turbine with that of Viktor Schauberger's Repulsine. A true, functional implosion turbine. Operative fuel - atmospheric air! No other fuel source. A 9 to 1 output vs. input is attainable. Our new "InVAID" power system and Lifting Body Engineering Report and Performance Figures C ompany history: International Turbine And Power, LLC (our former corporate entity) was founded by myself and a group of highly energetic engineers and scientists in 1998. We had one goal; design a working Tesla Turbine and Tesla Pump. This goal became reality. During the 2000, 2001 and 2002 years, several functional prototype turbines were designed, built and tested, with each yielding remarkable performance results. Individual investors and investment companies provided the necessary funding of several million dollars for this research and development stage. In 2003, the four original founding members of ITP, LLC, dissolved the ITP entity, and have began operations, independently. The new company, "Global Energy Technologies, Inc." with Frank Germano at the helm, has continued production of these revolutionary power and pumping systems. Historical perspective - our BETA, CHARLIE, and Early DELTA series turbines, below. All units are fully functional. These pictures represent only a small sampling of the units we have designed and worked on to date, and are offered as a taste of what we can design for qualified individuals and/or companies. It is a fact that NO other company to date has built as many successful, fully operational Tesla Turbines as Frank Germano, Martin Dorantes, Tad Johnson, and Guy Letourneau, P.E., from International Turbine And Power, LLC.
