This video shows the initial thought process and first attempt to assemble a working prototype Tesla CD Turbine.
The thought process starts with... if McGyver met Tesla, and they wanted to do something cool to recycle CD's, and save the planet besides, what would happen?
A neodymium magnet ring comes into the picture, and a prototype Tesla CD Turbine is constructed.
You can order the BEST neodymium super-magnets from K&J Magnetics here.
