What happens when this turbine hits 50,000rpm?
Why does it slow down at the end?
My observation is the turbine goes supersonic and draws so much air it empties the tank of the compressor.
It slows down at the end because the air inside the turbine has two pathways out and the bearings are not "almost frictionless".
At least with a one way valve the air only has one way out.
That way out creates a vacuum which draws more air in, creating more vacuum.
Tesla didn't call this the monarch of all engines for nothing!
