The Tesla turbine was patented by none other than Nikola Tesla in 1913. They use the boundary layer effect rather than fluid impinging on the blades. It's a high RPM low torque motor. So, applications can be somewhat limited in the traditional sense of what we think of as uses for motors. Though, Tesla himself envisioned using them in cars and other highly practical applications.

All though the above Cardboard Turbine is in fact a good, cheep turbine, if your looking to make an 'authentic' Tesla Turbine, you shouldn't add the aluminum, even though this will make it a lot less durable. Like it says above, Tesla Turbines use the boundary layer effect, meaning that the compressed whatever is sort of pulling the disks with it. Great guide, but the last one doesn't fit.
