- The Tesla Valve is a one-way check valve that allows fluids to flow in one way but blocks them when they try to go the other way.
This device was patented in 1920 by Nikola Tesla, a famous inventor from the 20th century that was known for is ingenuity.
The design for the blue and white tesla valve featured in this video was created by one of my subscribers, Grav Inert.

So, a lot of people in the comments are annoyed because I didn't test the valves.
The reason why I didn't test the valves in this video, is because the Tesla Valve only works properly in a specific setting with short pulses of high pressure. (That's the point made in the video)
I still don't have the right setup to show the Tesla Valve in action but soon I will, so the best I can do for now is to invite you guys to stick around, the Tesla Turbine Pulse Jet Generator will be a great project.
What can it do for sound?!
You had one job.
Your accent sounds portuguese AF. Where are you from?
@@Fred_Costa Portugal :D
Thanks for explaining... Still disappointed :p
You need to design the rest of the system and get testing :)
Yes, definitely make a 3d printed pulsejet-tesla-turbine. I want to watch it melt :P.
(nah I assume you'll construct it with more heat-tolerant parts)
Love your videos ♥
But definitely no 3d printing this time
I think I'll go with metal on this one XD
+1, Agree
@@integza Try Ceramics. Higher heat tolerance and corrosion resistance. Admittedly manufacturing is harder.
Actually I know a guy who uses 3d printed PLA with a graphite coating to make the nozzles for large model rockets. I have seen the nozzles after they have been fired, they are in far better shape then I would have expected. Some are not even deformed.
If you decide to go through on the pulse jet generator, I’d probably be the first time in a while someone has made one of those Tesla valve pulse jets, and I think that’s pretty darn cool.
This video contains both the best explanation of a Tesla Valve (Valvular Conduit!) and a pulse jet engine I have ever seen, heard, or read... all in one video! Two for the price of one! This is awesome! Thanks for posting!
Thank you man :D
Integza,
Please make this project. If it does end up melting, you could use lost PLA casting to turn your 3D prints into common metals such as aluminum or copper with very little equipment!
I'll try :D
That sure would be an interesting project to take on!
I'll try to build it!
*chants* build it build it build it!
As a tinkerer myself, I've always been fascinated by Tesla's inventions and you're the first person I've seen in CZcams explain how it all fits together.
Sooo... You printed it but you didn't show it working in real life. What's the point then?
You could use some colored liquid so we can see it working.
It cant be shown working because the tesla valve does not actually work
@@charlesmitchard246 it does work...
Thank you for saving me time :)
@@charlesmitchard246 It can work, if tuned for the particular fluid, frequency, and pressure.
My intuition says that the valve action would be stronger if the lobes varied in size. Also, the device will significantly impede flow in both directions, though by different amounts.
It would be interesting to see what optimized versions look like, but not enough to get me to spend 4 weeks optimizing models.
If you search CZcams for working Tesla Valve you will find a couple videos showing one working-ish. If you define Q as forward/reverse flow, a measure of quality, you can find a video showing maybe two or three times the flow from a balloon going forward vs backwards. That would be a Q of 2 or 3. Some silicon diodes have a Q of more than a billion.
The video that used "shrinky dinks" to make a micro-fluidics version did a little better than the balloon version.
Definatly make the turbine with the pulse jet.
Pulse Turboshaft
Aaaaand here we are 😅
definitely* sorry
Can't wait to see the whole prototype !! Also, i love how you dig thru tesla's inventions. It's amazing.
Thank you :D
0:28 deleting my watch history
🤣🤣
Nice video! Looks like everything's spot on! I show a working 0 moving part combustion chamber exactly as you describe, and I tried it with a mechanical diode first, it was extremely hard to get going steady and only wanted to pulse at a specific speed, after I added the Tesla valve, it does exactly as you describe, works at any frequency and runs as fast as you like.
Can't wait to try and design one :D
So, you've built a valve, a pulse jet, a turbo generator, and rendered bio-diesel. Now you need to put it all together and use a vapor spray to atomize the diesel and complete the cycle.
Hey man, I just wanna say I really appreciate your videos and the personality you put into each video. Keep it up! and you definitely do that motor project.
Thank you su much Graham :D
Watching back several years later, I can see the seeds of greatness in this video
Thank you for the Video Integza!
No, thank you !
Awesome videos my man. Just found your channel and loving every moment. keep it up.
I definitely would love to see what you can do with the combination of the valve and turbine! Love the videos!
Tesla Pulse Jet generator is also one of my greatest ambitions. Didn't think Tesla already thought of that
Not annoyed in regards to the display.
I’ve seen videos that used particulates to demonstrate the valve.
Btw... never seen anyone link the multiple inventions together.
The picture becomes clear when you can see the picture in its entirety.
Kudos!
I'm sure more than just a few of us here would be ecstatic to see you build the generator
Great! I'll build it than!
I like your format. Keep up the good work.
Neighsayers are Neigh
I learned something new even though I have seen these valves work before.
Thank you so much for the support :D
I genuinely think this guy doesn't get enough attention and is one of the best and most interesting science youtube guy
I've subscribed and liked all your vids
Keep making the good videos you will get the attention you truly deserve very soon if you keep going.
Thank you so much for that comment :)
I love what you're doing exploring Tesla's ideas :)
So psyched for the pulse jet turbine generator!
Thank you for ALL your videos! Really! ❤️ Thank u!
No, Thank you :D
It's a backflow prevention device!
@3:30 I think a double acting pump moves air or fluid on both the up and down stroke. So in your illustration, fluid flow should be constant, alternating between the top outlet and the bottom outlet with each stroke.
a pulsejet powered generator? that sound pretty neat!
There are research papers on optimizing the design of the Tesla valve, but I didn't get the impression it only works in bursts, and there are youtube videos showing it works for fluids. Gases might be more difficult. There is something similar though I don't know the name. It also has no moving parts, but acts sort of like a transistor for fluids. It has an inlet and an outlet and a 3rd line which is able to modulate the flow. I think the Tesla valve is the same thing, except with the control line connected to the outlet. If you think about it this is a lot like a JFET constant current source.
Here is something similar to the hydrodynamic transistor I mentioned:
www.researchgate.net/publication/301549718_Microfluidic_Valves_for_Flow_Control_at_Low_Reynolds_Numbers
Here is the research paper on optimizing the Tesla valve:
fluidsengineering.asmedigitalcollection.asme.org/article.aspx?articleid=1828374
You can see it as a cascade of hydrodynamic transistors with the control lines connected to one side of each transistor.
In another sense, you are taking advantage of the fluid's momentum to cause it to sway sideways into the meandering path in the reverse direction, thus obstructing the short path. Therefore it is beneficial for the start and ends of the valves to run together so that sideways momentum is conserved into each consecutive valve.
This design is not as good as it does not take advantage of the first loop momentum to force the stream into the next loop:
www.researchgate.net/figure/elocity-field-of-a-tesla-valve-in-backward-direction-with-an-applied-pressure-of-6KPa-X_fig2_229035232
The flow obstruction begins at the last valve in the direction of flow and then cascades towards the source as the obstructed flow develops. Look at the flow charts and think about it.
I would love to see you build the generator! That would be epic!
a family member back in the day knew Mr. Tesla and in a conversation Tesla made a remarkable statement. The Tesla valve is a cut away of a next generation Tesla turbine. The inner channel dividers are actually rings attached to a central shaft ( modern equivalent turbine engine ). Its info passed down a while so how much truth is in this is to be questioned but, at a time when airplane props were brand new and rotary engines a dream it shows how ingenious he really was.
Bro your vidoes are awesome, looking forward for the next one :)
Thank you :D
Thanks for confirming my suspicions about this being only for pulsed or "alternating" systems. It appears to behave similar to an RLC circuit (well, not exactly) but for matter instead of electricity.
It all makes sense once you take a look at the patents
@@integza the man was a genius, if not also a bit eccentric if that's the word. We owe so much to his vision including the industry where I'm employed.
This it's the first time I saw one of your videos. Just keep forward with old dreams of this amazing guy called Nikola. Please I want to see more videos about. Love
In high school in architectural drafting decades ago they taught us about how the smoke shelf in a residential brick fireplace works. It is a bit like single part Tesla Valve, in that a smoke shelf is located above the angled back wall of the fireplace. Part of the theory is that the arrangement of the throat near the smoke shelf acts along with the smoke chamber as a bit of a valve to keep a backdraft from a rogue gust of wind from blowing smoke the wrong way down the flue. This is all kinda codified by the complicated dimensions that the masons have developed over the years along with code officials for different sizes and shapes of fireplaces, all calculated and tabulated in sections and diagrams.
I would love to see this project take place. I'm so into this stuff you talk about
Nice! That's great to hear :D
imagine physically making something, and not demonstrating it for more than 4 seconds.
Anyway, neat video.
This is such a cool project!!! Go for it big guy, build it!!! You have definitely earned my subscribe!
Welcome to the team :D
I just found your channel. I love it!!!
love the vibe and your style looks like your having fun :3
Thanks :D
Your channel is awesome dude, hope you keep it up
I sure will good sir, thank you very much :)
Thank you, looking forward to seeing the pulse jet engine you speak of. Cool stuff man!
Yes please! I definitely wanna see this come to life. You might be able to use your current turbine if you put some sort of heat exchanger between the jet and the turbine much like an intercooler on a turbo.
Cooling of the gases might be hard but I'll try.
It’d be great to see it! Also, I’m sorry that people don’t understand that ‘short, high velocity bursts’ does not equal ‘use your breath’ and so it wasn’t demonstrated. I’m fine with it not being demonstrated, and can’t wait to see your design for a Tesla generator :)
Thank you so much for that comment :D
By varying the size of the reversing chambers, you should be able to use harmonics to amplify the effects of reverse flow going into a chamber.
I really enjoyed the video but it would have been nice to see a few demos of the ones you made in action. Maybe a later video? Subscribed. Nice humour.
Test examples of the valvular conduit? I probably should have done some but because those were to big to use with gases I decided to use animation instead.
I'll do some in the future.
Thank you for subscribing and welcome to the team!
i'm looking forward on you making it :)
Great :D I think it will be a very interesting project!
@@integza indeed. i always like watching your videos, especially for your way of approaching projects. i think this one, will be a challenge which you have to overcome, and something that you dont really see around. you are definately one of the underrated channels in my opinion, and you deserve more crowd.
have fun my friend, and thank you for the content.
If you can find it Tesla has his Tesla turbine system being driven with two Tesla valves and the output being sucked out by a Venturi valve re entering the tubing so that it can be efficient as possible.
That sounds like a good idea!
DEAR GOD YES BUILD THAT CRAZY THING! even if it doesn't work as expected it would still be awesome
I'm doing it!
@@integza YES PRAISE BE THE MADMEN OF ENGINEERING!
Yeah I’d love to see that.
Nice device. Never heard of it before. Appears to have some great applications. i would think the effectiveness would depend on viscosity of the fluid or gas involved.
You're right!
To be honest, I love your videos... I feel you deserve way more than just 95.3k subs
I can't wait for the day you reveal the fact that you're actually tesla's grandson
When I get to 100 k subs ( cough cough)
Hell yeah, cant wait to see what the end result
6:32 YES! Please do so! You have my whole-hearted condonement and encouragement. Proceed with enlightening the world.
If you utilize a softer filament along with the standard frame filament, this can actually be a one way valve.
I would absolutely love it if you made the entire set up! although, you might need an aluminum turbine, like me. I am going to build an aluminum turbine next.
Nice! Yeah, metal is the only option.
It's interesting seeing the cross-over between this and The Thought Emporium's work on Tesla Valves... considering your huge differences in styles.
I love his channel :D
Oh, so you used an editing gauntlet to snap it to skip the process? Neat.
Yes this is a great idea with the pulse jet but as you most likely no pulse jets do not necessarily require valves
I know I’m one week late, and you can probably tell that we all want you to make it, and you’ve probably already started, but please do make it!
Don’t push yourself too hard tho, this must be a lotta work for you
Thank you so much for the support! It helps more than you can imagine :D
It would be very cool to see his generator in action with his turbine
The guy needs more subs.
4:01 NICE! YOU REMEMBERED TO PUT THE CARD! I LIKE YOU
Integza with the masterful use of the course clear fanfare from SNES Super Mario world @ 4:14. Perfect.
Good work, I'd love to see the working prototype generator
so you printed three tesla valve and you didn't show it working......great video
Sorry I printed one of these, and found the rest of the info more interesting. All most like this video was made for people who knew the basics.. So why beat a dead horse?
Grat job man, if you can pull off a working prototype of the propulsion system I will have to find a way to send you at least a spool of filament.
For a long time, I've been obsessed with the idea of creating a tesla turbine with a tesla valve integrated into the discs of the turbine itself. Imagine a series of the valvular conduits, embedded inside a disco, radiating outward from the central hub, to aid in compression of gasses/liquids at the outer edge. Basically, just a tesla turbine that spins valves instead of just the discs normally used.
What do you think? Has anyone ever heard of such a thing?
I am really excited to see this prototype.
There already is an engine with no moving parts. It's called a ramjet air breathing engine. The only catch is that it requires another aircraft to bring it to speed before it can begin producing thrust, and it must remain at that speed or faster to keep producing thrust. The engine works when the aircraft is moving fast enough for the air to compress itself in the engine. It can do this because of the shape of the engine. All that's needed is a fuel spray and it can continue flying for as long as its fuel tanks last.
Lets hope his inventions take fruition and stop oil wars
The generator probably wouldn't be the most efficient manner of fuel to power, but it's design + maitenence simplicity may be of use.
I do wonder if particulate fouling from the pulse jet would eventually clog the buckets in the Tesla valve?
Please combine to generator & the valve , it would be very interesting.
That would be very interesting
Very interesting. Looking for series of your videos
Great video! I know of these Tesla inventories, but I was not aware about how he intended them to work together. It looks like a great project. I have a high temp printer and some carbon fibre reinforced PEEK if you would like some parts made.
You deserve much more Subscribers.🤩
The Thought Emporium did a video on creating the world's smallest Tesla Valve, was pretty cool.
I know , Im subscribed to him :D
Awesome video, just subbed
Go for it!!!
I have the same idea in spirit. Use a vehicle turbo derived jet and a vehicle turbo behind it. Use the charge air the increase jet output and cool exhaust, and attach the shaft to a generator. Better yet oversize that turbo and have a compound setup to unlock incredible airflow rates required to power a massive centrifugal turbine, more suited for the kind of torque production necessary for a generator.
A pulsejet ,Tesla valve , Tesla turbine would be an awesome project !!
Now I understand what you’re working towards
I think there is a fascinating exploration of fluidicts out there for someone to show. In the Ring of Fire series by Eric Flint (time travel of a town to the 1630s), they build fluidic calculators (think the old adding machine desktop devices but built with fluidics rather than mechanical levers) I think it would be incredible for someone to take on the task of designing such a thing for the real world.
Love your videos man. as far as the pulse generator.. have you considered a stirling engine connected by a gearbox, straight to the generator input? would be interested to see your opinion on these engines, they really are quite interesting to watch. Cheers!!
I know that compost with worms produces a lot of heat maybe you can use it to a source of pressure to the generator
Nice video!
Thanks :D
Would have been nice to show valves working - more balloon inflating, etc. Nice video.
Teslas valve is also used in suppersers for firearms
You've earned my sub with that intro alone
If you download onshape they have some of the things your having trouble with building on the 3D printer. Even the housing for ball bearings. Onshape is what you need. I would like to see more videos so I figured you would enjoy this. Best of wishes your Fan Jacob
To stay with your 3D printed theme Tesla turbine powered by Pulse Jet with valvular conduits.
3D print the Pulse Jet burn Chamber mode has two pieces to be bolted together pinching two sheets mild /stainless Steel allowing you to use a pressure washer to hydroform form the burn Chambers. You some powdered metal filament to create the valvular conduit.
Something like a Turbocharger intercooler may work as a heat exchanger /reclaimer to protect the plastic version from melting
I look forward to that valveless pulse jet engine! Subscribed and belled! :D
Awesome !! Welcome to the team :D
@@integza \o/
fuck yeah. love your heavily modded creality.
I thinking rather than calling it a valve, since I have a few years experience in hydraulics, when after seeing the intended effect I see it performing the function of a restrictor. So there you have it, I see it as a restrictor since it does not entirely block neither flow or pressure but reduces such values.
Hello, congrats for the video, I was asking myself which cad soft did you use to design those parts? I was about to start doing it ;)
I use SolidWorks
I think that is a great idea
We need something like this in HVAC, where the negative pressure from the system stops the condensate water from draining out of the system, unless you put a trap in, which always gets full of stuff and clogs, or freezes.
