This semester, there are two entrepreneurial group projects. Our group is known as the Tesla Turbine Group and includes Nick Esler, Tom Happy, Matt Hudson and myself. The Tesla Turbine group has been very busy these first few weeks brainstorming and researching a magnitude of different project possibilities. Our ideas have ranged from water conservation and renewable energies to sterling engines and power production. As a group we have narrowed down our focus to power production that is eco-friendly. We plan to utilize a Tesla Turbine as the means for producing a lightweight and low-pollution power generation system. The plan for the semester is to develop three sets of prototypes. The first will be made out of acrylic and cut with a laser cutter at Century College. The second will be made from sheet metal and cut using a CNC mill. The final prototype will combine the results from the first and second prototypes and will be submitted to the MN Cup. By the next time I post on the blog I hope to have a synopsis of our experiments from the first prototype as well as several pictures.
