Tesla Turbine Replication

[Bill Sherwood]

Has anyone built a Tesla turbine that is powered by gasoline or natural gas?
Thanks,
Bill

The Tesla turbine was originally a steam powered turbine. There have been attempts to run it with a compressor added in front.
It is apparently not efficient enough to run as a gas turbine.

I'm a passionate auto mechanic at Hialeah and would be glad though to see how Tesla's ingenuity unfolds with time.
