Does the tesla turbine run on gas?

Does the turbine run on fuel? If so what kind? How much does it consume?

Gearhead

The Tesla turbine was originally a steam powered turbine.  There have been attempts to run it with a compressor added in front.  It is apparently not efficient enough to run as a gas turbine.  Basically the turbine consists of a bunch of disks with a small gap in between.  The flow of steam or air or water drags the disks along to cause rotation.

I have read that they have been proven to work. I have seen 110HP modles. So If I built one the only fuel I would need to buy is water?

Tesla was such a gifted inventor that people assume and make all kinds of claims for his mysterious turbine.  There are also scams out there for working magnet motors of fabulous output that you can buy for the right price and some bridges also.  The Tesla turbine has found some success as a pump to pump abrasive slurry.  Other than that I know of no other successful use
.
If you chose to build one you will need a steam boiler along with that water.

The club that makes them does not give any power specs. They just say they have custome builds for the members if they want to buy one. The 110hp I got was from an original add by Tesla himself.
