I have access to a neat

workshop and overtime I

will surely become an as-

set to your group :)

Thanks for making your

work public,

We wanted to get the CD

a while ago, but just were

unable to do so. I don't

know if you remember,

but you & your husband

allowed us to visit your

shop back in August of

last year when we were

in the area. We so much

appreciated taking time

with us.

Are you paying

attention? Fred Palmer, chairman

of the London-based

World Coal Association

and key exec at Peabody

Energy, world's largest

privately owned coal

company, predicts that

vast reserves of coal in

the far west of China

will make the country

the "new Middle East".

Peabody is leading the

US assault on the EPA’s

efforts to curb the US's

carbon emissions.

More from Fred:

“Anyone who has the

notion that we're going

to move away from fossil

fuels just isn't paying at-

tention."

Developers ready for action! Tesla Turbogenerator Project CD

Build a pressurized gas Tesla turbogenerator—and learn how to build a solar turbogenerator system!

Is Ken still doing training

as the web site says?

Perhaps I can get on the

list for the next class. I

also need to know what

equipment that I should

have on hand in order to

complete it.

S pringtime has arrived in the North country.

We have no earthquakes, no tsunamis—only melt-ing snow & emerging life.

We have begun plant-ing seeds in cups, for transplanting into our backyard gardens. Roma tomatoes, peppers, col-lards, broccoli & lots of marigolds.

Next month another round of plantings—corn, squash & more veggies. Yes, I start corn indoors.

According to a friend at the local coop, a sig-nificant number of peo-ple are “stocking up” for hard times. Many are starting serious gardens this year.

Meanwhile, Ken & I are looking forward to pull-ing the plug—first on the natural gas, then grid power. Eventually fuel.

It’s liberating to plan on ways to conserve even more. For decades, I’ve used a manual grain grinder, meat grinder, pasta maker, wheatgrass juicer, veggie grater & my own two hands for bread. We do, however, use an electric blender for homemade mayo & occasionally a plug-in tortilla maker. And shop tools… A challenge.

One thing is certain: Personal empowerment is worth every step we take.

Traitors to Humanity “ another hydrogen explo-

sion was reported from the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant in Japan, which was ravaged by last week's magnitude 9.0 earthquake. The radiation leaking from the plant has now reached dangerous lev-els. Japanese officials have ordered 140,000 residents near the plant to seal them-selves indoors… radiation coming from a reactor fire in a storage pond was being re-leased directly into the at-mosphere. That pool, which is used to cool spent nuclear fuel, may be boiling.”

This is the kind of news that has gripped us all month. And, amidst the lukewarm debate over ter-minating the deadly folly called nuclear power, here’s a message for our club members from Texas – Tokyo Electric Power Company & its part-ner Shaw Construction are in the process of building a nuke plant near you. The nuclear unit of Shaw Con-struction (Stone & Web-ster) was caught lying in ‘88 about required safety components in the Shore-ham NY plant. A common criminal practice in the nuclear industry/government conspiracy.

END this crap NOW! This industry is ROTTEN.

T he collapse of the global trickle-down system is resulting in systemic breakdown.

These observations by club member Wasim Baig (Pakistan) describe how it affects his region:

“It's sad that the Middle East region has been

under blatant dictatorship for almost 5 dec-ades, amply supported (read: exploited/plundered/raped) by the West for cheap en-ergy, principles be dammed.

Only Egypt & Tunisia have broken the first of their chains, and they both have a LONG way to go before any of this becomes meaningful, but the signs are positive (primarily because it was the educated, civil society that brought about the changes there).

Libya is a different story, and we're seeing a classic civil war, back & forth between loyalists pounded from the sky, and a rag-tag bunch of rebels who really can't put up a fight.

Yemen, Bahrain, Syria are up in smoke, but the West doesn't seem to think they deserve the same freedom as the Libyans do. Algiers and Oman, not to mention Saudi, are primed, but they will smolder yet for a while. The media can only cover so much action in a day. So Bah-rain goes on the back burner while the world keeps up with Libya & the poor freedom fight-ers in Ivory Coast don't even merit a footnote.

Iraq, Afghanistan are a total mess. Pakistan was threatening to go the same way,

but signs are it won’t. We fought hard against Musharraf to restore the Judiciary here. Unfor-tunately, we're stuck with an inept, corrupt government, who have no clue how to govern and are just playing their 5 years out trying to make as much money as possible… without an educated populace, you can't expect sensible voting, so the same old tribal/clan based voting will take place, and the same old feudals will come into power & we won’t have any empow-erment whatsoever… But I have hope.”

Editor: Overthrowing one corrupt government for bondage to global bankers & gadget mer-chants is going to result in more of the same. Don’t rebuild on greed-based centralism.

Collapse of the Global Economy

Founded in 2001, the Phoenix Turbine Builders Club is a free resource for anyone interested in Tesla turbine theory & construction, as well as applications relating to disc turbine tech-nology. As of March 20, 2011 the club boasted 1,700 active members in 96 countries.

The first Tesla turbine project began with a series of articles written by Ken Rieli, CEO at Phoenix Navigation & Guidance Inc. and chair-man of the Global Motive Power Revolution. In addition to exploring principles of boundary layer turbines, we are developing a low-horsepower steam & ORC turbine into a solar CHP system to cut the costs of heating & elec-trical power.

We invite you to join our efforts in moving the world into the Space Age with new power & transportation technologies!

Tesla Turbogenerator

by Ken Rieli

“But, whatever our resources

of primary energy may be in

the future, we must, to be

rational, obtain it without

consumption of any mate-

rial.” Nikola Tesla, The Problem of Increasing Human Energy.

Tesla Corner

Liberty, once lost, is

lost forever.

Letter to Abigail Adams July 17, 1775

Tesla Turbogenerator Q&A Question: I was curious as to whether it would be possi-

ble to use sealed bearings. It would eliminate

the need for the oiling system and simplify the

design. Ken, I'm sure you've already consid-

ered this problem but I was curious what issues

I might encounter if I went with sealed bear-

ings.

Answer: Sealed bearings are rated at a much lower op-

erating speed compared to open and actively

lubricated systems. Also, a minimally oiled

bearing has a much higher operating speed

compared to an oil bath system. To guarantee

the best performance from a relatively low-cost

bearing as specified in our design, we try to

use only enough oil flow to carry away bearing

heat, without causing even more heat build-up

from fluid compressive resistance.
