I have done lots of experiments with 3D versions of this valve. I even did some with a traveling rotation along the axis, so that it looked like a helix. Unfortunately, those were duds, though the looked beautiful.
My current jet engine work does not include a Tesla Valve, though much of it is inspired by it. When I began, I imagined using a pulse jet, and attaching an axialy rotated tesla valve to the front of it, in order to replace the reed valves. I eventually moved away from pulsed combustion though. Too noisy and not the pressure levels I wanted.
