It's based on my build. ~13uH is for L2A.

Ah.. Ok cool

Based on http://www.rmcybernetics.com/projects/DIY_Devices/homemade_tesla_coil_tuner.htm I verified (tested)  f(L1 C1)=f(L2 C2)=200kHz for coils and caps i have.

mlurye, I always though there was a cap missing from dons setup across the entire L2 to establish a harmonic, maybe 1/4 wave

Darkseed,

May be this way

But Don mentioned that 1 cap is enough.

Now I need to figure out what spark gap to use.

Three or four of these in series should work... 600v each

darkspeed,
I'm not sure how it will work with 4 600V arestors, if I'm having problem to make it work with 1 500V.

Anybody can give me some good advice on how to tune spark gap to oscillate at 200kHz. NST I'm using is 3KV with center tap, so working voltage is 1.5kV.

I was playing with device and just little thing I noticed. If you'll move cap on other side of spark gap it's possible to light up a 7W 110V light bulb.

Hi Peterae

I've always found the Don Smith stuff fascinating, and I've just taken time to watch your video links. Have you ever heard the saying: 'You should never meet your hero unless you want the illusion destroyed'?

Well I feel that I can relate to that after watching the videos.

Is it just me, or in video 4 and 5 does he not simply describe the mutual inductance of transformer technology. I watched in fascination - hoping he wouldn't croak before he said something crucial -  waiting for a punchline that never came. 

Has anyone else any thoughts on this? Because I'm rather mystified by what I saw.

Which has now naturally made me a lot more sceptical about the old boy's devices than I was before I watched the videos.  Then I found the following article which has put my guard up two places from Defcon 5 to Defcon 3.

I think a little caution might be in order.

Do you think Smith has a point? Does it still boil down to Zero Point?

I have no problem with people saying their claims are ideas or theories, it is when they claim them as FACT or hardware that my credulity shields go up.

Smith, like so many other con artists in the field has long been playing fast and loose with facts and reality. I see BAP also on your list as he is one who also has long been making claims of discovery, invention, etc..to con people into buying his material...refer back to the original 'Cold Fission Tube' scam where he intentionally lied to and ripped off many people including myself. He has not and will not change this modus operandi.

However, back to Smith, I first met him at a Tesla Convention where he had driven up from Houston. I was with Dan Davidson and we asked him if he brought his device, he said yes, we suggested with such a long drive, that he test it to verify it works before setting up for his demonstration. He agreed, took out this platform with a nicely wound coil arrangement and claimed it easily produces 1000 watts. He 'tuned' it and nothing happened. His load was an 8 watt fluorescent tube which would not light. Don said he had to go but could WE FIX IT FOR HIM? QUE???

He left, we used a multimeter he had provided and found the laser power supply was faulty, fortunately Don had spare parts, so we hooked it into the circuit and did resistance checks on the wiring finding no open circuits.

When we tried it, still would not even light the 8 watt lamp (remember he was claiming to tap the VAN ALLEN RADIATION BELTS to produce 1000 watts)....we hooked in an LED, it didn't even light.

Didn't deter Don in the least, despite his initial humble and charming demeanor, once fans starting blowing smoke up his skirt, he morphed into claiming his 'discoveries' would change not just electronics, but all science. Total nutcase without a working device.

Over the years, he put a battery in a suitcase with an inverter, installed a 110vac outlet and plugged in an oscillating fan as his 'demo' claiming this was free energy....and on and on...years and years no of him making ever more outrageous claims....such as that he could produce 50,000 watts from this little 18 guage wire coil......

And later claiming megawatts...saying he was on the board of many 'overseas' companies who were actively manufacturing his free energy circuits and placing into products. When countenanced about WHO these companies are, contact info, product info, etc...he says its proprietary or that he doesn't have to prove anything to anybody...and on and on with rants when anyone questions anything he says...translation...a deluded loser...I think more seeking FAME than money though he was charging $2000 for his circuit which he claimed 'even Boy Scouts had built' but that no engineer or technician could even remotely understand let alone build as a working device. Right...

Ok, just doe some searches on the internet and you will find pages and posts about Smith (and BAP for that matter) with the most ludicrous claims you could imagine. The above was just my personal experience with Smith and I won't EVEN go into the smarmy dealings of the Bapster.

One thing about Smith, he does weave an interesting theory, like the idiot Al Bielek, yet none of it has been proven in hardware to my knowledge by his 'claims of success' and more CRITICALLY those of independent testers and verification. That is the main proof that the claimants of discovery/invention AVOID AT ALL COSTS...because they KNOW they are lying and that no one can make it work. Tilley is one who has cast his activities in this mold.

Now to the 'document';

...electromagnetic energy is accessed via catalytic activity - either directly, as in the case of Solar Cells, or indirectly by mechanical means.

Definition of Catalysis (catalyst);

n. pl. ca7tal7y7ses (-sz) - The action of a catalyst, especially an increase in the rate of a chemical reaction.


http://www.keelynet.com/unclass/insight.htm
-------------------
...a single Resonance Energy Device (about the size of a shoe box) produces ample energy to power itself,

-------------------
...Without specialized instrumentation it is impossible to tell resonance flux is occurring.

-------------------
...Information on the earth's magnetic flux field is available to the public from the US Geological Survey Office in Colorado, USA. When examined and properly understood these maps yield important information regarding reflection, deflection, and absorption of incoming magnetic waves and action at a distance. When properly understood, these maps yield an ambient electromagnetic flux of 7.2 billion Volts at a point of measure.

-------------------
...Flux moving into energy sinks provides the frictional force known as gravity.

-------------------
...All electromagnetic energy harvesting methods include three things: a catalyst, a collector, and a pump. Catalysts include sensitization through doping with certain elements, as well as air and earth grounding.

I suspect this is a very old document which has been reposted on this site. So many years later (Smith was way back in 1992 or so) and STILL no working devices available...as was BAPS claims of free energy and 'inventions/discovery', never proven, never marketed, never patented!!!

Alas, I WANT TO BELIEVE, but require proof, not just the ramblings of deluded people or known con artists out to make a buck from naive people who become confused with all the technospeak and use of buzzwords like Tesla, scalar, radiant, ZPE, suppression, conspiracy...anything that would obfuscate or be difficult/impossible to track and verify, INDEPENDENTLY, not just from their claims.

We will continue to search for a means to tap into ambient forces, whether they be gravity, electrostatics (lightning, ions), magnetic flux, zero point energy (zero point field), frequencies from space (cosmic 'energy'), etc...

But we aren't there yet....too many con artists, too many people clouding the field with bullshit, usually to scam others....and worst of all, almost no one funding any REAL research despite the huge commercial potential and the ability to resolve many of the earths current problems.

Those problems are not ONLY ecological, but also these incredibly stupid wars over control of OIL (never mind the EXCUSES of terrorism, etc..), not to mention the additional entanglements relating to religion and centuries old hostilities in which we have NO business interferring.

The sooner people begin funding real research into these areas, the sooner a Manhattan type project WILL DISCOVER a working free energy technology and ideally GIVE IT TO THE WORLD to be used, manufactured and marketed as freely as possible.

As for Smith, ask him where you can buy one of his free energy circuits/devices and get him to tell you just what it will produce in terms of power. And require a money back guarantee WHEN it doesn't work.

The proof of these con artists, despite their wondrous claims is they never have a product to sell you but man, they will be glad to sell you a franchise, stock, solicit a contribution or refer you to buy their books, CDs etc, further regurgitating their THEORY or something else that will provide them with income without the proof so many of us insist on having.

Feliz Navidad and Happy New Year (I can't write 'ano' with the correct notation, as 'ano means anus' and I'd rather not write Happy New Anus!)

sucks, doesn't it?

Tesla wasn't like Don.  A couple of friends started with the little kits that Dr. Stiffler sells.   I'll find the link.

What's wrong with these people, eh? 

It seems you can never pursue this stuff with too much optimism... and for sure not with just blind faith.

In reality you have to go into this stuff expecting it to be fake and so prepare yourself for the almost inevitable disappointment ahead.  An open mind is all very well, but a more than average degree of sceptiicism is no bad thing around here.

That said, I love Stifflers SECs (and yes, I know that sounds a bit pervy!).

I'm planning to use Don's device as conceptual design and do whatever I can to make it work.

And now I'm back to my original question on how to get 200kHz on spark arrestor.

So far I see 3 possibilities.
In general to replace spark arrestor with HV MOSFET (highest available I've seen is 1.4 Kv) so I think I need 2 in sequence.
1. Drive MOSFET by function generator (not much flexible)
2. Use Kacher idea with back feed
3. Some kind of hybrid between 1 and 2.

So if someone can help with schema on how to implement it, I would really appreciate it. To begin with I need help with schema for 1. Drive MOSFET(2) by function generator.

I’m currently having another look at Don Smith’s devices.

Though I don’t particularly find Don’s Videos – or indeed Don himself – very convincing, I’m now wondering if perhaps I’m missing something with reference to how his devices work.

Initially it seemed to me that what he was describing in his video’s was simply standard transformer principles, but maybe I was a bit quick to jump to this conclusion. 

Without a core of any kind to contain the flux, I guess the device in the video more closely resembles a Tesla coil or an aerial, than a standard transformer.  So, unlike in a standard ferrite or iron cored transformer where the path of the magnetic flux is contained in order to provide maximum energy transfer between primary and secondary, Don’s coils allow this magnetic flux to largely dissipate into the environment.

Of particular interest to me is that aerial theory seems a part of Don’s primary and secondary open coil design, in that his coils are constructed in overall lengths divisible by two, perhaps indicating that magnetic flux density does not play any major part in his devices.

Surely Don’s open primary coil forms a dipole into which radiant energy can flow. So is his secondary in this configuration simply tapping into that inflow of radiant energy? 

And due to the very low magnetic flux interaction between primary and secondary coils, will the primary cct even notice the presence of the secondary cct?  Hence, is the secondary actually loading the primary? 

Furthermore - and although the coils are orientated differently - in terms of magnetic flux coupling, surely Don's coils exhibit only something comparable to the recent Agentgates TPU.

I’m just trying to get my head around the physics involved, but this is not my particular area of expertise. So any input from people more experienced in this field would be very welcome.

Here's an interesting high voltage osc and even a triode design
unfortunately it looks like it's frequency range is 500khz to 2mhz.

Is the solid state nst on the suitcase device being used at 35khz?  70khz?

If it is half wave then the primary input would be at zero volts for part of the cycle.

The nst outputs at 35khz and it looks like each leg of the output has a diode on the output tied together and then to ground through a sparkgap.

I talked to a guy that worked for radioshack and he said that  inverter was not a sign wave inverter and then he is running it through a dimmer.

Dimmers on solid state nst's will only reduce the output 10-20% from what the nst company said..

It seems like modified wave + dimmer would be really hard on that little nst...

Im guessing the spark gap keeps the nst from going into current mode..

The solid state nst was 35khz he said in one of the videos.

   
Group: Guest
I did not know if he was using a bridge on both ac outputs to get 70khz dc..

Or if not, then why not?

What is better about 35khz?

I have not seen a solid state nst with a ground lug like that.. Must have been before the age of ground fault..
   
Group: Guest
Ok each output has a diode and he is dumping to the center tap ground on that solid state nst so he is using 70khz dc

D.Smith talks of frequency correction from 30KHz or maybe 200KHz as you say in the resonant coupling, to a frequency close to 60Hz for the output transformer via a resistor or capacitor. Can you give more information how this works?

   Really not the place for this but the resistor will change the LRC value of the tank that it is in. In effect changing the resonant frequency as well.
It will also play havoc with the impedance of the output too.    :-\   ???

It's not as complicated as it may seem...
The last video links on the first page no longer work. The Youtube user removed the videos.

This is where Don lectured using a paper whiteboard I believe.

Anybody have a copy of the 1996 Tesla Magazine that Donald mention on video ?
   
Group: Guest
that is not conventional knowledge. Conventional knowledge is that resonant frequency is given by L and C. Bandwidth is given by XL or XC and R. How do you explain the discrepancy in theory and practice?  :o
