The idea hasn't lost steam (har har). I still want to make one. I do actually think that the tesla turbine would be easier to make, but neither are going to be easy. I have found bearings capable of handling the higher rpms that the turbine may see. I just need to find a way to make a shaft and spacers that can handle high rpm.
