I got a little bored at work so i made this. I still have to make the turbine.

I just made it for fun and didn't think I would have a long list of people who wanted one. I don't want the thread to be locked so if you are interested send me a pm and and we can talk price, please include if you would like it to "function". Sadly I can't make the turbines work, so no turbine and to be honest they are alot of work and time to make in multiple quantities.
Thanks for all the positive feedback.

This thread cracked me up, haha.. That is AWESOME work! How much does that thing weigh? You have a PM btw. :thumb:
 
wow again thanks for the positive feedback, I just made it for fun and didn't think I would have a long list of people who wanted one. As 90laserRSfwd stated I don't want the thread to be locked so if you are interested send me a pm and and we can talk price, please include if you would like it to "function". Sadly I can't make the turbines work, I can't get the air to spine it, so no turbine. :(.

What if you sent compressed air through the hot side to spin the turbine. PICTURES of it with the turbine please!

The piece is at my work so i can't get a pics, but there is no bearings so air travals through the middle as well.

Could you make one that has glass around the connecting rod between the two turbine wheels, so that the air doesn't go around?
 
dude... wow.. i bet i could sell at least 8 of those for u.. price them at $100.. dunno if its worth your time though. Shoot some compressed air into that thing with a bowl on it... FORCED STONAGE

Not sure on the weight. The one in the pics isn't that thick, but the ones I started today are. When I get finish I will weigh one out.
 
Dood, I'll take one of your glass "Christmas ornaments" Can you do colors? Is that double blown?

I can't talk about selling them openly in this thread this because it will be locked. If interested sent me a pm. It is double blown and I am only making clear ones. Color can get really pricey.
 
Use Cork for the center section, aka bearings. :thumb:
Its dirt cheap and you could probly get away with some cork bottle plugs from a craft store, drill a hole and now you have a bushing for the turbine.
Want it to spin freely, use some wax paper. slick side in towards shaft.

It would be hard to get an air tight seal and still allow the turbine to spin.
 
True, just a thought though, considering if you got it to work properly then you could sell them to people for a lot more.

Just my opinion. :D
 
I totally want one. If you can make that into a pipe somehow, I'm down for at least one. PM with a price if you figure it out. Hell, even if you can't make it into a pipe, PM me a price just for that. It's still pretty damn sweet.
 
I made a prototype for the "functional" one. they're in the oven right now, i'll posts some pics later
