May 17 (UPI) --Scientists have discovered new potential applications for a valve invented and patented by famed engineer Nikola Tesla 100 years ago. Researchers conducted a variety of tests using ...

Tesla claimed that water would flow through his valve 200 times slower in one direction than another, which may have been an exaggeration. A team of scientists at New York University built a ...

More than 100 years ago, Nikola Tesla patented the Tesla valve, a one-way fluid flow device with no moving parts. However, as the team tuned their design and printed new iterations, the flow ...

Early turbulence and pulsatile flows enhance diodicity of Tesla’s macrofluidic valve. Nature Communications, 2021; 12 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s41467-021-23009-y ...

The re-engineered Tesla Valve has no moving parts, ­­consisting instead of a series of “interconnected teardrop-shaped loops” which allow fluid to pass through in one direction.

“Tesla valves are already frequently used in other fluid devices, but ours is the first proposal to use them as injection manifolds in RDEs.” During numerical demonstrations on the injection manifold ...

Tesla patented his one-way valve in 1920, which is similar to traditional valves but without moving parts. It has a design that allows fluid to flow unimpeded in one direction, but in the other ...
