The document details the design and fabrication of a Tesla turbine intended for small-scale commercial use, with a focus on improving previous designs. A 500-watt turbine was created, achieving maximum efficiency of 51% and generating up to 119 watts from 542 watts of input. Future work includes performing CFD analysis, optimizing nozzle design, and studying the impact of disc roughness on turbine performance.
