Thanks for the time of your's, it was more then just helpful

can it create vibrations due to vortices generated in divergent flow?

I think you over estimated the amount of steps Tesla would have taken to developing this. It is trivial to realize that forcing fluid back on itself will cause a high reduction in flow. To me it seems the first step would be to start with a series of the lobes that we see, then adjust the angles between them to be optimal, rather than what was displayed in the video. Granted, your intent may have been to demonstrate the way a modern engineer would approach the problem, which would have been fine had you not portrayed it as Tesla's design process.

I'm actually considering to use it in a work application. Could someone help? The thing is, we have a centrifugal pump with DN70 inlet, sucking fuel from a tank. But we also need to create pressure in front of it, using a specific gear pump. We tried using conventional one way valves to keep gear pump from just sending fuel through a loop, but it ends up just closing them and suffocating the centrifugal pump. Will Tesla valve work in this scenario, when you have a flow going one direction, but pressure is coming from the other one. Seems kinda impossible when put into words, but I hoope there's someone here, who can help

What happens with superfluid if you use and expansion chamber between two of those valvular conduits ? Would superfluidity prevent the turbulence or not? Some one need to test this, cause we will soon realise Space might actually be superfluid ocean in wich planet floats. An article published on September 21st 2020 from Lancaster teach us object in superfluid helium act as thought they are in a vacuum.

It is kinda common for genius scientist to work in various areas, it's just usually they impact certain field of study so much, that it overshadows their achievements in other fields, which are remarkable by themselves

Electricity is kind of similar to fluid, except it's the electrons which are flowing instead of atoms.

@@snowblazed3442 i'm pretty sure you can't create a tesla valve equivalent with wires =v however i'm a software engineer so my knowledge in the matter might be limited

Fluid and electricity both take the path of least resistance.

@@dtom2126 hmm so every secondary flow could be wires from a higher resistance than the ones used for the primary flow ? =o Now it actually seems plausible

Can you show the difference of water speed in a valve? It's an animation based on laws that are accepted. Like animating an object falling because we know gravity exists. Jesus

@@lick28 His point was that you can animate anything. You can animate the valve breaking from excess pressure. You can animate an anvil falling on it. You can animate glitter coming out of the other end. You can also animate generally accepted "laws" in the logic of children's cartoons but that does not make them real nor evidence of any kind of "laws". And yes, you can show the difference of water speed in a valve. Today we have plastics and glass to make small scale low pressure valves. We also 3D printers and pressure gauges. I am surprised that a reasonable person would suggest that the only way to demonstrate how a valve works would be through computer animations. Because we all know the significance of computer animations when Nikola Tesla made the valve in question...

@@guywiththebottle and my point is that there's no reason to make up anything false. It's also much easier to just animate something we know to be the effect of a certain action than to go out of our way to waste physical resources like water and money. It's also easier to articulate how the inner workings of something goes in an animation as you can highlight the important things to be noted. Complaining about the fact that it's animated in this context seems very nitpicky

@@lick28 There is reason to make up something false if you can get away with it or do not know better. People care about 'fake news' more than ever and everybody is the publisher on youtube. The guy asked for another reason to believe the premise of the video. If people know the effect of "a certain action", there wouldn't be a point to making the video. Is it a waste of physical resources to teach people about valves? You can highlight whatever you want in an animation, that was the point of the critique. Not sure why it would be nitpicky that the guy expresses that he would be more convinced by a recording of a stream of water rather than a simulation of a stream of water.

@@lick28 We live in 2022 and you really wanna say theres no reason to make up anything false? The dudes right, I wanted to see it for real. I dont want what he thinks will happen in an animation, I wanna see what does happen in reality.

its a solid state oscillating pump, remember he was working on pumps

I wonder if there’s a lower threshold whereby if the input is slow enough, the various divergences and vortices are minimised, therefore the the output would be increased compared to if you had a higher input (which would seem to create more restrictive flow?)

@@oscarwoodly7392 i was wondering the same, anyone got answers?

There's probably a fairly linear relationship between input pressure and output volume.

I think you are right. It’s a simple and robust way to meter something using higher pressures elsewhere. It really can’t stop flow because it relies on the dynamics of flow to even work.

He used the pressure of the pressure to pressure the pressure of the pressure.

He pressurised the pressure to make a big pressure which gives pressure to the pressure which gives enough pressure to crush anything but P R E S S U R E

Dammit you said it first

Oh that a cool way of thinking about it! It's a water diode, that makes a lot of sense. Great comment.

One of the very best demonstrations I've ever seen on UKposts, and short and sweet just enough for my attention span.

Actual conversation with my wife: What are you watching? Something about valves Why? I don’t really know but I want to know how it works What it’s for? I don’t even know. But I feel like I’ll know everything about valves soon.

Agreed. I was surprised by the 4k+ dislikes. Perhaps it was from people unable to understand the video... or maybe they are just Edison fanboys 😜

Claiming to be a “total physics” video without demonstrating a real world model of such a simple device is a fail. The simulation software is fine but not a complete picture. Also this valve is crap under any appreciable pressure. You’d get backflow in no time. It demonstrates that it is not possible to make a true check valve without moving parts. A small ball check valve easily handles the job.

@@sircrapalot9954 Application of newer technology is much needed. A train 🚂🚋🚃🚋🚃🚋🚃in a tunnel with walls that reflect the divergent air on to the rear of the train would have twice the efficiency of trains today. Using turbo jets to clear air from the front would prevent wind resistance in the tunnel while additional forward thrust is developed. Directing this displaced jet of air on to a modified Tesla mechanism on the tunnel walls to redirect the air jet on to the rear of the train would again add forward thrust. This is significant since wind resistance at 100 mph is equal to the weight force of the average vehicle. Also, the hyperloop intended to remove air resistance by creating partial vacuum in a tube is more dangerous than the Titanic. Lastly, Tesla has been successfully tested in jet and rocket propulsion. It's a topic to be studied by all engineers in this field. 🚴三 happy traveling.

Yes, showing actual fluidic components and models would be helpful for understanding. Notice the pulsing, as this is not only a partial diode but a partial fluidic oscillator.

May be they don't have a wood or metal worker? Animations worked well enough as even if you could see though a plexiglass face, due to the valve slowing the flow, you could not see the direction of the water flow. This would then need animations of arrows again. What I would find interesting is more mathematical information. How long, at what diameter, fin size, and liquid pressure going into.

That would substantially increase production costs. You might be able to get someone like William Osman to do a video fabricating and testing a Tesla valve.

So basically a diode?

i was a plumber for years. this valve is a joke. it cannot do what's advertised. want proof? go ahead and try to find a video of this valve in operation. the water shoots out either side just as fast as you pump it in the opposite.

@@__shifty You know when this valve could work? Lets say you have a junction with one side a normal pipe, and the other with this valve, the water will obviously choose the way with the less resistance. If you somehow had a pipe blockage or an overflow in the other pipe, the water will then be forced to move into the valve. This is a scenario i think it would do a good job at. It is not a valve that can stop water when you force into it. It can only be a resistive valve.

You acted like the Tesla valve, much resistance but in the end you've watched it.

That’s not necessarily a bad thing. When you have low flow and low pressure, the moving parts associated with a true one-way valve will be less likely to fail and will have less associated wear.

You can put a mechanical vale at the end which will be suspectible to less wear and tear.

Still useful 5:30

I'm pretty sure Neumann János is the "Father of the Computer". No, I won't be calling him "John".

That's what he said at the end of the video, that there will still be flow so technically its not a non-return valve.

But at the start of the video (which is seen by way more people then the end (that is true for ANY video)), he heavily implied at least, that it was possible to make a actual one-way non-moving parts valve on par with the ones he showed with moving parts

it still replaced the former valves in modern jet engines.

@Palo Kan Yes, because in such a place a total valve is not needed a flow decrease is enough. If the answer to the proposed question had actually been "yes" the only places the other valves would have stayed would be if there wouldn't have been enough room for the tesla valve, but as it turns out it only replaced the valves in a few places where a flow decrease is enough, the vast majority of tradition moving parts valves were not replaces because they need to shut the water completely

@@GummieI I echo what you said, AND: “Replaced ___ valves in modern jet engines” implies the more traditional valves with moving parts were used in those sections of jet engine first. Show me. Were they? I have zero background in jet engine history or design. But I want to say NO, those traditional valves with moving parts were never used successfully in those sections of jet engine. So the “Tesla valve” replaced nothing in modern jet engine. “Found application in” and “Replaced” are two very different things.

It's not designed to be a constant pressure valve. Under pulsing conditions, and with the right size/length conduits for the density of the fluid and pulse width, it effectively does block flow completely. Think reed valve, not water faucet.

@@wastedwizard5112 I don't think so.

Tesla was intrigued by the idea that vibrations, so basically sound, had the capacity to mimic other chemical and physical reactions. Modern science now calls this study phonons. Later, he would update his ideas to include sonic resonances from many different phenomenon. This obviously influenced his work on radio and alternating current. And directed his ideas later in life about wireless electricity, through microwave transmission. He probably didn't have an understanding of microwaves yet, but that is what he was thinking about.

I’m sure had Tesla directed more time and contemplation towards this valve , he would have incorporated a full stop application. But to serve as an indication of the type of mind Tesla possessed, he was at least as brilliant as Edison, if not more, and fit to sit at the table with Einstein

It's really not that incredible. I can't understand how a person couldn't come up with this if you were specifically looking for a one way valve with no moving parts. The first image that enters the mind is surfaces or mechanisms which grip or engage in one direction. Like a ratchet or running shoes. Then your brain combines those forms with a pipe. Then it see this would not work as is or at best provide very minimal extra resistance in one direction. Then your brain says, how can we increase the resistance? And it answers itself and says by creating a secondary flowpaths which apposes the primary.

What really bothers me is that if somebody did something similar today, you wouldn't care. You care because Nikola Tesla did it. Because of his other inventions. You also care because somebody slapped the letters Tesla on a billion dollar company and now anything related is amazing. The guy asked himself how to restrict water flow. All you need is a material for water to run through and move things around until you are satisfied. Then, you show it to the public with little success because the market did not need the solution or your sales pitch was weak. Then, you die and wait until somebody makes a company with your name on it and an organisation decides to use a handful of valves using your design. That is how you make a Tesla valve. No advanced formulas, no string theories, just carve out some wood and drive some water through it. Alternatively, replace the wood with clay.
