On the 11th of July 2013 the
first prototype of the Zefiros Tesla Turbine was released. Designed
and build by four students of the Rotterdam University of Applied
Science, the Zefiros Tesla Turbine provides a platform for
experimenting with power production from low-level steam.
The creators of the first Zefiros Tesla
Turbine are: Arjon Bakker, Fabian Gouwens, Ricky van Kampen and Koen
Wessels. The blueprints are available as Open Design.
In February 2014 a group of Engineering
students from the Rotterdam University of Applied Science will get
assignment to improve the first design and again release it as an
Open Design project.
