Pradeep,

After further research, we decided that a simple steam engine (proven 80-90% mechanical efficiency) is a better option than the Tesla turbine (typical results of about 30% mechanical efficiency, and I have tracked down one that may be as high as 60%). You see, the simple good old steam engine is proven. From what I understand, no-one has shown a long track record (many years) on a Tesla turbine.

So we have a basic design for a steam engine. Is there any way that you can help us fabricate that? The application is the solar power system -
