Hi Everyone,
I have built a micro tesla turbine by ion etching from silicon. I was so busy getting the fabrication done that i didn't give much thought to how i would try to calculate the efficiency!
Is the efficiency just: work output / work input?
I think the only variable i am going to be able to measure is the rpm, which i can then convert to the angular velocity, but how then do i work out the work output and input?
Or if that isn't the correct equation, what would be a better one to use?
Thanks guys!
