Hi Safeer,
This is an interesting mechanical device. I looked it up on Wikipaedia to refresh my knowledge. Here is the link. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_turbine . In its simplest form I can imagine building one with cardboard disks on a dowel inside a plastic ( perhaps clear ) housing. You could drive it with air blowing from a vacuum cleaner exhaust. While it would not deliver usable power it might at least allow you to demonstrate the principal.
