Tesla turbine - Wikipedia
The Tesla turbine is a bladeless centripetal flow turbine invented by Nikola Tesla in 1913. [1] It functions as nozzles apply a moving fluid to the edges of a set of discs. The engine uses smooth discs rotating in a chamber to generate rotational movement due to the momentum exchange between the fluid and the discs.

How It Works. Turbines work by converting the kinetic energy of a fluid into another form of energy. In a wind turbine, the wind (the fluid) causes the blades to rotate. The blades in turn rotate a generator, which converts the rotational energy into electricity.

Tesla’s turbine goes by several names: boundary layer turbine, Prandtl Layer turbine, bladeless turbine, and cohesion-type turbine. These names help reveal the most unique aspect of the Tesla turbine, which is its lack of blades.
Tesla Turbine Generator | How Tesla Turbine Generator Works
The Tesla turbine generator was invented in 1913 by none other than Nikola Tesla. It employs the occurrence of the boundary layer rather than the effect of the fluid on the surface of the blade. This is a low-torque high-rpm motor.
Rebirth of the Tesla Turbine
The Tesla Turbine is a remarkable machine in terms of simplicity, robustness, efficiency, and applicability but little is known, even among today's' engineers, about how it works and how well it performs alongside conventional turbines.
