Chapter 275 Tesla Turbine Engine (1)
"Is this awesome?! You can master and use it immediately after the initiation. What a high speed of thinking in the same frequency!"
Not to mention others, Zhu Bin himself was shocked! He knew that it took a long time to directly instill the knowledge content engraved in the brain through instruments before it could be used. It was just a memory. To understand and apply it proficiently, it requires repeated practice.--(But what did he see now? The master of Tesla directly followed and could use it simply! This means that while instilling, he not only did not feel too much pressure, but also had plenty of ability to review from the beginning... Such ability seems to be extremely rare in the entire interstellar Federation!
He is indeed a master who has been sought after by countless people and invited to the altar! Compared to this, he is a space trash guy.
Zhu Bin felt so sweaty! But at the same time he was secretly happy. What does this mean? Some of the legendary content is still very reliable. At least Tesla's mental strength is sufficient to ensure that he can learn all kinds of knowledge he needs at any time and reach the level he needs in the shortest time. It will not delay research and invention at all, and it is more ideal than guessing.
Therefore, he immediately filled with surprises and rushed forward to exaggerately and shouted: "Oh! Mr. Tesla, you can actually master the language of indoctrination immediately. It's incredible!"
Tesla touched his forehead with a little puzzled confusion and said, "Is there anything wrong with it?"
Zhu Bin said: "It's not inappropriate. It takes many days for ordinary people to gradually adapt and master the knowledge they have instilled. It's amazing how few people can achieve your speed and efficiency!"
Tesla loves to listen to this. He has always regarded himself very high and is not as vulgar as it is. Of course, it is very comfortable to get such praise. If you carefully experience the feelings of your body, it is obviously much more relaxed. A long-lost vitality fills the limbs, and even breathing is much smoother. He is so energetic that he can kill a tiger with one punch. He can't help but look back at the medical cabin that has returned to silence. He said with admiration: "What an amazing invention! If it can be popularized, people all over the world will live a better life!"
Zhu Bin shook his head flatly: "This is impossible for the time being. There is only one medical cabin in the world, and the key drugs needed in it are incalculable. They are thousands of times more expensive than gold."
"Oh! Is it cost a lot of value to treat me this time?" Tesla raised his eyebrows in surprise. He knew very well that he had an extreme understanding of world technology. He had never seen such things before. Such magical equipment covers medicine, biology, electricity, electrophysiology. (_--) and many high-end disciplines that he does not know about, and it is definitely not something that any research institution can do. Therefore, Zhu Bin did not think it was exaggerated to say this.
But in this way, he couldn't even sign the contract without signing it. Now Tesla also knows that no one in the world is willing to invest in him and invent it. It is a project that is like a bottomless pit that will never see any return in his life. Not to mention that his debt of millions of dollars, he has to be caught with such a sucker as Zhu Bin. Now he has received such a great favor, and he is embarrassed to be uneasy to create something for others.
Tesla is a very particular person and will never take advantage of anyone. Although he has done a lot of mysterious things in order to fool some research funds over the years... Well, in fact, he has always done this. For example, in order to fool JP Morgan to invest in Warden Clifta, he has made many amazing Tesla coils with amazing scenes everywhere, but they were jealous of that guy Edison, and they were banned and slandered or even destroyed. The fire in 1895 is probably the one who let him go. However, he himself did not know much about business operations and his personality was not very united, which led to collective isolation.
Even though he was so poor in recent years, he did not really cheat. Instead, he would pay the bill immediately and save others every time he got some new patent usage fee. He would definitely not say anything about personality and morality.
After initiation and treatment, Tesla, who seemed to have returned to his forties and fifties, did not want to delay for a moment. After having a meal, he started working overtime overnight and ran to his huge and empty laboratory to drag out the interface of the holographic modeling system. He read out the list and specifications of no more than 200 kinds of experimental equipment in one breath. Then, electric transport vehicles slid in along the rails, transported various experimental equipment purchased early from the warehouse, and then slid into a series of robotic arms on the roof, and quickly installed them in accordance with his requirements.
Tesla knew that these were robotic devices controlled by intelligent systems. He was of course very interested in robots, but his current task was to pay off his debts, so he had to patiently do something else first.
First, he was extremely skilled in using the virtual modeling system to produce the design drawings of five bladeless fluid turbine engines of sizes and specifications. These were all things that had been stored in his mind for more than 30 years. They were already perfect and could not be improved. Zhu Bin, the most critical high-strength disc problem, was too easy to solve here. He used hundreds of high-strength materials such as Kevlar, basalt fiber, titanium alloy, carbon nanotubes and crystalline ferroalloys to combine them into three prototypes. It took only three days to complete them. Then, driven by a large electronic pulse combustion power furnace, it started from 3,000 rpm and slowly accelerated to a maximum of 35,000 rpm, and conducted a half-month grading and time-sharing test!
Zhu Bin has high expectations for this kind of engine. In the past few days, he has put in his main energy to track the progress and results of the research. Then he was delighted to find that the engine that Tesla himself made by himself was obviously much better than those enthusiasts he remembered!
The smallest one is a 25-piece disc with a diameter. When it reaches 9,000 rpm, it can output 150 horsepower, which is much stronger than the 12-piece 100 horsepower power output he designed. When the speed reaches 12,000 rpm, the workmanship successfully exceeded 200 horsepower! The workmanship efficiency of calculation and processing has reached 60%!
What is this concept? A simple engine that is not much larger than a pillow has an output power equivalent to a 6-cylinder gasoline engine with a volume of more than eight times the volume! If used in a car, the same fuel can at least double the mileage at more than twice the speed! Tesla itself claims that the car is definitely not a bluff to cross the United States in three days!
The 200 horsepower can provide sufficient power to the heavy-duty truck. Even the first-generation armored personnel carriers are enough to drive to a speed of 60 kilometers per hour, which is several times lighter than the ones used now. The huge 6-cylinder diesel engine can free up at least half of the space and weight, improve the carrying efficiency and travel, which is definitely a huge improvement!
If reliability is guaranteed, even if this kind of engine has a lifespan of only 3,000 kilometers, it will be fine! The key is to be durable and resistant to tossing. Maintenance and other things are definitely much simpler than diesel engines, and even the entire replacement is not a problem.
It was just this sample that made Zhu Bin bare his teeth happily. Then it was the size of the larger one and the rotor sample. Tesla was definitely not arbitrary to choose this size. On the one hand, it was carefully calculated, and on the other hand, it was related to a profound past!
In 1912, he made a two-unit prototype and took it to a company under Edison, New York to conduct steam power generation experiments. At that time, the Edison Electrical Association almost monopolized the power generation technology of bladed turbine steam turbines. Tesla, with its first-class IQ and a mess of EQ, knew that Edison would do anything bad, but he was helpless and dissatisfied, still asked them for help in the test. The engine reached an output of 9,000 rpm and 200 horsepower in the test, which should be said to be successful. The engineer who was responsible for the test was Edison's disciple and subordinate. He claimed that he could not test the torque and refused to admit that it was a successful and reliable product.
At this time, the whole world invested huge funds in steam turbine power generation, and the market prospects were huge. The huge prospects of tens of billions made capable investors such as Morgan consortium refuse to pay for new inventions. At this time, Tesla's reputation was almost ruined. No one was willing to believe him. He had to swallow the bitter fruit helplessly.
This time, using high-temperature and high-pressure gas directly drives, the power output of a 20-disc rotor reaches 240 horsepower at 9,000 rpm. After accelerating to 15,000 rpm, it soars to 320 horsepower! If the two machines are connected in parallel, it is definitely not a problem to get more than 500 horsepower. The key is that this thing is still small!
Zhu Bin felt even more passionate! Damn. Five hundred horsepower, that's enough to drive medium-sized tanks?! Thirty tons or forty tons? It should be fine! The main engine of the armored vehicle, infantry combat vehicle, self-propelled artillery, Shenma has been discussed! Small traction front and various powers that require low noise environments can be handled!
Continue to experiment. The third size is still classic. It was one of the last three-seat engines he made with funds. The disc diameter is as high as meter. At the beginning, 15 discs were used to easily obtain 675 horsepower at a speed of 3400 rpm. Now it is rebuilt as it is. Because of the different working fluids and the different materials of the discs, the processing accuracy and various aspects of bearing optimization, the output of 770 horsepower was obtained at the same speed, and at the speed of 6000 rpm, it successfully exceeded 1000 horsepower, and then sprinted towards 10000 rpm.
There are two other types of them, which are used for verification of large generators. The disc size is as high as 18 feet, or centimeters! Under normal circumstances, such a large thing can only be used on hydropower stations. It is very difficult to build such large blades of steam turbines, and the strength of the material will cause people to die!
Tesla calculated that if the engines of these two scales are successfully manufactured, each unit can obtain at least 10,000 horsepower of work at a speed of 10,000 rpm! If the number and speed of discs are increased and multiple machines are linked, it is very likely to create a big guy with 100,000 horsepower!
The results of the experiment in the first two days were already very encouraging. Zhu Bin immediately decided to build dozens of them immediately, and further strengthen the test of various sizes, expand the working fluid to diesel, kerosene, methane, ethanol, running water, etc. After finishing, it was directly on the vehicle and ship for testing, and strive to get a satisfactory result.
Zhu Bin doesn't care about the cost of materials at all now. He can still withstand it anyway. As long as he can create practical samples, there will be a bright future! To be continued...
