Mini Radial Turbine (experimental)

thingiverse

Video demonstration: https://youtu.be/EF48NCB_Fq4 Edit: I added shorter versions for the inlet housing, impeller and axle for a more compact design. This is a general purpose radial turbine that I designed just for fun (and to maybe get it CNC'd later) and to have something more praktical to mess around with than just having drawings and formulas... (in theory, If the impeller is mirrored, it can be used as a pump as well). The design is far from perfect, for example, the whole assemble could be shortened, if a lighter and more compact design is needed. Because of this, I also included a .f3d file if you want to alter the design in Fusion 360. This project requires 2 Ball Bearings with ID5mm and OD10mm and 4mm thickness and a hand full of M3 Screws or Screws in similar size. Furthermore, if you decide to 3d print the axle, it may be required to sand it until the Impeller and the bearings have a nice press-fit. and for higher rpms to glue the bearings in place or secure them with a c clip axially.
