Tesla Turbine

For a class called Fundamental of Machine Shop Operation (FOMSO) I machined from scratch a fully functional Tesla turbine capable of spinning more than 24000 RPM. The turbine was made using a manual lathe, a manual mill, a 2.5-axis CNC mill, along with other machine tools from raw stock and required holding tolerances of up to +- 0.0002 in.
