This video shows my replication of Nikola Tesla's dynamic balancing machine, heavily inspired by Paul Townley's design, which allows you to precisely balance Tesla Turbines both statically and dynamically in one go!
The total costs of my setup are less than $500, while a Chinese made small rotor balancing machine will set you back at least $10k.
I explain Tesla's balancing patent and some museum documents, and show you how to true and balance a rotor, including speed and vibration tests.
And here are some free goodies:
