In message 14, you say:

I attended Smith’s Texas lectures in 90’.
He was unprepared,
his setup did not work and
after 'repairs" he faked “electrocution”.

I am asking exactly which lecture it was that you attended. You have
provided two links, neither of which indicate which lecture you are
talking about.

Replication

I have ordered the parts necessary to complete the device Mr. Smith describes in Videos 4 and 5. Parts will be here tomorrow and I will be working on the project every day all day until it is completed. I have built both my coils already and await my power supply and a few other things. I will post pictures of what I am building starting tomorrow.

Only way to know if he is real or fake is to build it and see what happens. According to him, the device he describes needs NO tuning if you build the simple one, only the proper resister. We shall see.

I have read as much as possible about Mr. Smith and have come to one conclusion. He COULD be for real. Many say he is a fake, but gee, they said that about our buddy Tesla too. My philosophy is, "build it and see what happens." If you look at the pictures of all the different devices he has built, either he is making the bucks scamming folks, or he is on to something. I have yet to see a site where he is selling anything, so for now I give him the benefit of the doubt and say it is worth a shot.

Turion,

Cant wait to see what happens

Sorry to interfere tho this thread, but since it is of similar nature i will post here.

i am after at replicating what the Ukrainian fellow does in thoses rutubes videos.

original video by Boguslaw åÝÅ ÏÄÉÎ ÓÐÏÓÏ ÓÎÑÔÉÑ ÜÎÅÒÇÉÉ Ó çôâí :: ÷ÉÄÅÏ ÎÁ RuTube
video which shows working circuit ÔÒÁÎÓÆÏÒÍÁÔÏÒ ôÅÓÌÙ :: ÷ÉÄÅÏ ÎÁ RuTube

As i said earlier, his Tesla coil that is able to light a 100 waatt lightbulb is Solidstate driven. clearly a transistor is seen there mounted in a heatsink and ventilation.

I was not able to find his own circuit used but seems very simple. In another rutube videos we see a similar Tesla coil, solid state and run with the simple circuit shown below.

Anyonw here with any experience at adjusting transistor frequencies so as to pulse the primary at the required frequency?
I have a little experience from SEC myself, but i cannot grasp the essence of how a variable resistor can control transistor's frequency in such a system.

( i am not electronics man)

Some help will be appreciated.

Changing frequency with a pot

Hi Baroutologos


In the circuit you have posted the pot changes the bias on the base of the transistor. This in turn allows the transistor to turn on later or earlier in the cycle which means it does change the frequency. However in the Smith circuit I see no way that putting a resistor across the input to the transformer can change the frequency response of the transformer. I have over 50 years experience in electronics and that is a new one on me. If someone can explain how that works I would like to see it.

See ya, citfta

Hi citfta,

I actually replicated the whole circuit. But instead of the russian transistor KT819 i put an BD709 one. The tesla coil does not work, at least at first sight. It can light fluorescent bulbs, but does not streamers, only small sparks.

I put a pot there (40K) with a fixed 18K resistor foing to base. i cannot see any difference in consumption, neither in coil's performance by adjusting the pot.
Being there actually makes no difference in my setup.

Finally in order to work (the way it works) the secondary need to go to the base. Grounded secondary or open ended, makes the trasistor to not work.

Hi all

This is the first post for me on this thread, but when I saw this about the resistor I thought that I would put my two penny worth on this topic of resistor and change of frequency.

Through experimenting I have found that by putting a resistor across a coil which is recieving a frequency input, the harmonics of this frequency are split into other harmonics and so you end up with a load of harmonics, all of which seem to be of a near equal intensity to one another. A multiplying factor? I think it is, 2v in, 10 harmonics = 20v out, this I can demonstrate and will be demonstrated on my STEAP thread in the near future.

By changing the resistance of the coil, you are changing the caracteristics of that coil, because that coil had a resistance in the first place, so putting a resister in series will be the same as two resistors in series or in parallel same as two resistors in parallel. The value or the resistor should be very low, around 10 ohms or so, depends on the resistance of the coil!, should be in the same range NOT k ohms

Awesome! Don Smith devices could be real then. His oil capacitors seems to be charged by induction - then his strange orange coil after oil capacitors may be very important as choke coil ? My idea is simple : he somehow recharges oil capacitors - probably by forcing dead electrons on one capacitor plate only.The load discharges it at lower frequency.

The first thing I would do is to build such device without load and test how fast it can recharge oil capacitors. If it's instantaneous then we have a winner.

Look also here if you know Russian language a bit.

and even if you not just watch how to strength current across bulb.

Question here for EE : if primary and secondary windings of transformer are at 90 degrees to each other what we should expect ?

[boguslaw]

Another question : if you mix two signals , each one being positive pulse of exact frequency and phase ,just amplitude of one is much higher of second one what we have on scope ?

and the last question and you would already know what I mean : can capacitor across coil change phase of current flowing inside coil ?

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ANSWER THAT

I think you will realize what I'm taking about...

[baroutologos]

I re-saw the DOn Smith videos. In the part 5 he says (this is the third time i say it) that the circuit's frquency can be changed with the application of a suitable resistor across an isolation transformer.

this effectively is a parallel RL circuit. i searched everywhere and according also to my reason, parallel RL circuits cannot change frequency.

Anyone more specialist in electronics to say anything?

this is easy also to try as an experiment. For those having a signal generator to try attach a small isolation transformer with a variable resistor in parallel. Does the output frequency changes?

ps: i have not the means for this experiment

Found my plasma globe, im gonna start on that replication. Although the instructions on that build are not as clear cut as the one at the end on the video, i think i should be able to whip something up.

Don't forget that the circuit, being driven by the alternating voltage induced from the plasma
globe, will have a resonant frequency, and that it must run at that specific frequency only.
