No device has to be proven not to be OU.
After much searching, the contents of the 2 Solovey-related pdf's has been located: see attached
Very interesting...
I don't think so. In the first paper, I read :
"
However, Don Smith states that when a circuit is at it's point of resonance, resistance in the circuit drops to zero and the circuit becomes effectively, a superconductor."
This is obviously wrong. At resonance, the impedance of the circuit is reduced to the resistance. If the coil is superconducting and the capacitor too, then R=0. In the general case, notably that of the experiments described, they are not, so we have a resistance.
Resonance has nothing to do with superconductivity. It is a nonsense and everything else is on the same model.
Another example. Starting from P=U.I, he tells us: "so we might settle for the notion that if we doubled the voltage then we could double the output power."
Only he must have had this idea because he never studied anything. Competent people know that energy is proportional to the square of the amplitude of the physical quantity that gives it rise, such as a voltage, a current, an electric field, a magnetic field, a speed for kinetic energy...
This simply means that it takes twice as much energy to charge a capacitor at 20v than at 10v, this is well known and to pretend that we could defeat the conservation of energy on such a simplistic idea is childish.
Yet another example is the idea that the stored energy would depend on the frequency. In an RLC circuit the energy goes from the capacitor to the inductor via the resistance. It is always the same energy that goes back and forth. This energy is equal to 1/2.L.I² when the current is maximum in the inductance, or to 1/2.C.V² when the voltage is maximum in the capacitor, and it is partially dissipated in the resistance at each passage from one to the other, even at resonance, which is the reason for the attenuation of an RLC circuit when we stop feeding it, attenuation which is consequently faster when the frequency is higher.
The frequency has no role in the energy, it simply sets the number of back and forth per second of the stored energy between the capacitor and the inductor.
Donald Lee Smith twists electronics formulas to obtain false results that appeal to the naive but that even a beginning undergraduated student could debunk. He shows himself incapable of using the differential equations of physics to get the right results. He clearly does not understand anything he presents and makes incoherent galimatia out of it. By reading him, the ignorant will remain an ignorant, and the others may well become so. Solovey is supposed to be a "Ph.D. candidate". Did he get his degree?
