[OT^0,3 . . . .Anyone?]
I have a question in regards to investing in new technologies. . . so, indirectly related to the substance on this Forum.
I have contact with a Tesla Turbine Believer in Canada and he seeks investments for his ideas. Although I have followed the Tesla Turbine Technology for many years as serious technological issue. . .I know that the principle of its operation is sound fundamental fluid dynamics. . . I have never seen any convincing evidence that the Tesla Design is a real competitor for the energy production market and for the use as Prime Drivers for other applications. In spite of this my Canadian friend remains certain his Tesla Turbine Design is next to "sliced bread" the best invention ever created. . .a bit of pun here is mine!.
My question: Has any of your savvy people in your experience or in your readings discovered any real development evidence that Tesla Turbines could well become a commercial technology in the near future that could compete with current turbine technologies that use bladed impellors and operate in the turbulent flow regime?
It is not all my intention to discuss the details and pro's and con's of the Tesla Disc Turbine Technology. . .I am very well aware how it works. I just have a small hope that some of you have more faith in it's future commercial viability than I do. I would personally not invest in it yet.
Any of you would?. . .And if so, why are you convinced that it is a smart thing to do?
PS:
For more detailed responses that focus on technology rather than on investment potential it would perhaps be better to use the private message option.
