Tesla Turbine Pencil Sharpener
This looks like a CD case, but it is actually the world's simplest turbine!
Two CD discs and four magnets form the rotor inside this CD jewel-case Tesla turbine. There is no shaft or bearings. It is a magnetic drive.
Compressed air enters the hose and nozzle seen here, spirals around inside the case between the discs, and exits out the centre exhaust hole.

A now abandoned oil fields office near Abilene, Texas which was operated from approximately 1964-2002. What a find! Someone had already kicked-in the door, but when I entered, it felt like time had stood still. Whomever managed this office left it 'as is', and it seems as though it hasn't been touched since then.
The strangest part about shooting photos of the one-room building is how most of the items or operations conducted there could now be completed with the one device I held in my hand! My Iphone.
I could take the photos, make phone calls, log stats into a database, store files, keep a contact list and probably transmit data back to headquarters wirelessly. It's truly amazing how things have changed.
Visually, I was impressed with the amount of paper that was used, how everything was handwritten, and how difficult most of that office work would be for us, if we had to work without our computers and mobile devices.
It also amazed me that no one ever removed the items in the office for storage. An oilfields museum should grab this stuff because it would make for one amazing exhibit.
Enjoy the photos!
I did this old pencil sharpener a real disservice by trying to clean it up using Comet cleanser! It made it look much worse!
The pencil sharpener came from Scrantoms Book and Stationary store that went out of business in the early '80's here in Rochester. There was no "W Germany" after 1990....so you can take it from there.
Anybody know what a small hand sharpener would go for these days? I have no idea why I left the price tag on for over 25 years.

Specially in north-east Asian countries; knife sharpening is still a career for some. There are few who roam around sharpening knifes at different localities and earning their lively hood; in India. This guy has managed to place himself near one of the busiest places in Bangalore; Bamboo Baazar; just in front of Russell market.

Manu got some pencils and sharpener from people, maybe as a return gift on a birthday party and as a 2 year old he didn't knew any use of the pencil and he only use of the sharpener was to stick a pencil in it and keep rotating it to produce those wonderful flaky things.
