Howdy Robin,
In Lost Wages, as we call Las Vegas, the Roulette wheel is the money maker.
The air turbine is only a minor competitor. This turbine idea has been
around for years. First clue to the fantasy is the 30,000 RPM speed of the
turbine. They enclose the blades in a acrylic housing to view the rotation.
I don't want to be in the same casino when this device is running at that
speed.
There is enough danger hanging around the Dime Box saloon watching rednecks
play mumbly peg with Bowie knives and drinking mescal. Save your money and
invest in Goldie Sucks stock.

Hi,

Hum, I assume from the tone of your message that you don't think their
air
turbine will work. Their plan is to have it independently verified.
I'd like
to see it heat water.

I would be happy with accurate frequency x torque measurements
combined with temperature, pressure and volume measurements of in and
out flowing air. I would also like to know if the humidity of the air
passing through it makes a difference.
You're asking for way more than me. If my friend can help, my plan is to
see and test the machine. It's in Las Vegas, so the humidity is low. I'd
like to place a piece of X Ray film in close proximity to the machine.
It would be factory sealed so if when developed, if it is fogged, then
Frank Germano 's observations about X Ray emissions from the Respine are
correct. I'm wondering about imaging, perhaps I might be able to find an
X Ray camera. I'm assuming that the area emitting the X Rays will be
triangular.
I suggest placing a key between the machine and the film, against the
outside of
the film pack. That way, if there are X-rays coming from the machine, you
will
get a key shadow on the film. Otherwise, you won't know if the machine
caused
any eventual fogging, or something else.
