How to Make holiday decisions with the Tesla CD turbine

Homemade apparatus for experimenting with liquid extraction in a kitchen setting.

The Tesla CD Turbine is a little homemade turbine made from CD's, CD spindle, supermagnets, and glue. It runs on faucet water pressure.

This movie demonstrates the total over-use of technology in using the Tesla CD Turbine as a Decision Maker to help decide what to do during the holidays. The Decision Maker is a simple game spinner, magnetically-coupled to the CD Turbine by 2 neodymium magnets glued to the pointer. Turning on the faucet water pressure rotates the spinner. Turning off the faucet causes it to stop on one of the activities on the spinner card. Pretty simple. Kids love it!

Watch as I spin it up...
