Xenomorph,

I don't understand reactance that well myself, but accordingly somehow you can lower the frequency with resistors using the reactance chart. I won't be doing it this way though, but would love to have a basic course on exactly how reactance works.

in the smith pdf it says
I don't understand that at all, i was just going to work around it by charging a cap bank then pulsing it at 60 hz into a basic transformer. Unless someone can recoomend a reactance for dummies book that i can read.

zilano,

Does lowering the frequency also raise amps? Because i was trying to light that bulb at 385khz 450v directly on the secondary.

Drak, i had pointed out a year ago here that Smith was blatantly describing this resistor tuning without anyone noticing that it can not work. He talks about it in the assembled pdf of his publications as well as in part 5 of his youtube interview.

The chart simply cannot be applied to a driven oscillator.
You can try it out easily yourself, even with a bedini motor.
Just bring the secondary to resonance with the right cap and then
put different resistors across the coil. You won't see the proclaimed change in frequency.

Just use caps as has been suggested. Good Luck with your experiments.

Just learning as I go, and thanks

Hi Drak,

Perhaps you are confused by the incorrect usage of the word resistance by Don Smith in the above quote? Because he should have used the word reactance instead of resistance, ok?
We normally talk about AC reactance in case of capacitors or coils, saying a capacitor has a capacitive reactance or a coil has an inductive reactance, and reactance also has a dimension of OHM like a normal resistance.
The nomograms also show these in Ohms, for capacitors the reactance formula Xc=1/(2*Pi*f*C) or for coils XL=2*Pi*f*L where f is the AC frequency in Hertz, C is the value of the cap in Farad and L is the coil inductance in Henry. Using these you get the reactance in Ohm, and the nomograms used these formulas.
(You can see from the formulas that a given value capacitor has an decreasing reactance value when you increase frequency and coils behave just on the contrary: they have an increasing reactance when you increase frequency.

You ARE talking castles in the air.
How about you make a video of your working 10kW OU device powering house-hold appliances at 50/60 Hz 4.25Kw worth?
Not having a camera to do it would be a bad excuse.
Maybe borrow a mobile phone from a friend, easily available.

If you can't provide it, your claim unfortunately means as much as all the other claims of individuals in various forums stating they would have such device but refuse to provide evidence.
I am sure everybody here would like to see it too.

Please make sure to zoom in on the magical resistor to convert your output frequency. I know a couple of electrical engineers who would like to see that one.

I have a feeling somehow though, this video will never happen.
Until then, you ARE talking castles in the air.

Surprise!
That's the common response to a OU video challenge.
The community is waiting for years for "promised" videos by
various claimers that just talk.
If you can't provide, you are just like one of them.
Together with the technical errors in some of your statements, it gives you a poor credibility.

Hi Zilano
I have been working on the Don Smith systems on and off for the past 2 years with no luck.

After reading your posts over and over , I am beginning to see that you could really be on to something.

Please don't despair --keep up the good work and I for one will be eagerly waiting for more tid bits of infortmation.
Paul:

Still working, had to take a break to sleep. Winding more coils. I'm not really looking for 10kw of power, I would be happy with 50 watts just for a proof of concept.

sorry to intrude , but it almost sound as if you are talking about about tunable forks and octaves...except using coils



looking forward to reading the clues you'll be divulging

Looking at those spark gaps crackling away, I must agree with Xenomorph... no electronic test instrument will offer a reliable or sensible reading. 10 amp bulb is also mentioned ! what type of bulb is rated at 10 amps? you would need a fair few of them to make up a load equaling 10 amps assuming they are general purpose types, or am I missing the point here. How about using clear lamps rather than opaque types!! or a heating element instead?
I'm not criticizing the projects or the experiments here only emphasizing the importance of collecting acurate data before calculating the results.

thank you, i would just add what was written on the link you provided:

Interesting stuff Zilano.

I have been pondering lately that the quantum source presents its energy as ultra high frequency at ultra high impedance which is nearly invisible. Think about the difference between a very large wave crashing onto the beach every minute, vs a billion tiny waves crashing every minute. We could ride the big one pretty well, but we'd have a seriously difficult time with the billion small ones. If there were 1 billion of us, each one 1 billionth of our size, we might manage, no? That is one way of visualizing the impedance matching that would be required to interact with the quantum source. Sub-atomic particles are very small and very fast and well suited to interacting with such an energy source.

So when we resonate a coil at a very wide bandwidth, the resonance contains more and more energy of very high frequency, superimposed on the coil's fundamental frequency. I think that the higher the resonant energy and the higher the frequency the greater the tendency to interact with that source, and we start cohering a bit of the source's energy. I think we observe that tendency to cohere when we see resonant things tend to lock to one another or resonate sympathetically.

From that line of reasoning, a Tesla coil resonating over a very wide bandwidth is actively cohering an abundant amount of energy, and would be significantly OU as it sits. Except for one huge problem: the energy is very high impedance and any effort to interact with the coil interferes with the resonance of the coil. We can interact with it, but must do it through the electric field using displacement current.

The bifilar coil coverts the electric field energy coming from the primary into a displacement current without inductively interacting with the primary and damping its resonance. Normally the Q of such a circuit...a very small inductance and a relatively large capacitance...is very low, but by using a very thick conductor you raise the Q to reasonable values by nature of the resistance being well less than 1 ohm. The resulting resonant tank produces a very high current at a comparatively low voltage, and responds to a very wide bandwidth of energy. I would speculate that the secondary needs an asymmetrical overlapping with the primary to encourage the resonance to establish, or you could build the bifilar with two different wire sizes.

So...wideband resonance coheres quantum energy...the wider the bandwidth and the higher the voltage the more energy is cohered...a secondary bifilar tank with very low resistance converts a portion of the resonant energy into usable power...effectively impedance matching quantum energy to useful levels. The key is in keeping the voltage and bandwidth of the primary as high as possible, and the resistance of the secondary as low as possible.

Just a theory...

Contrary to some assertions here, varying the resistance of the ground path does alter the apparent capacitance of a bifilar in proximity of a resonant primary. Think of it this way: how much current will flow into a capacitor with one end disconnected? Virtually none, and the effective capacitance is quite low. If both ends are connected, the capacitance is the rated value.

Disconnected is simply infinite resistance. There is obviously a continuum between fully open and fully short that allows the effective capacitance to move from a low to high value. If that capacitance is part of a tank, the resistance will directly affect the tuning. Not sure that is what DS was alluding to, but it is incorrect to say that resistance cannot affect resonant tuning.



I have been playing in my lab for quite some time with resonant primaries and bifilar displacement current secondaries. Only at low voltage though, mostly interested in the basic behavior, not so much trying to make big power. It is no problem at all to use that technique to light a bulb on the output, and I've been driving small florescent tubes with a small fraction of a watt. I wasn't convinced that the wide band resonance was the source of free energy though...never really convinced myself that what I was doing was OU since measurement becomes so difficult, although I had a pretty good theory of how it might be.

I am still very puzzled about the 50/60 Hz output though. Would love to get a hint from you Zilano. PM me if you are willing.

Hi Zilano

Do you have the time to make units for sale to power homes (10kw)? Cost estimate?

Or selling plans, so that others that have the time and knowledge, can build their own home 10kw unit?

Cheers, Mike

Hi zilano,

I spent the day cleaning house and making a new bifilar secondary and a thinner primary. Will test later tonight or tomorrow. I can do 30khz, but I have to increase the duty cycle to about 80 or 90 percent. the input watts works out the same though with 2-6khz on a duty cycle of 25-50 or at higher frequencies at higher duty cycle. Every time I try a new coil pair I try input frequencies of 1khz to 300khz with different duty cycles and adjust spark gap. Nothing special yet. but I have a few more things i want to try yet before i come back for advice Still working...

Hi Zilano

Thank you for the info.

Why is the cost so high for the 5kw unit? Is it because of material costs or labor costs?

Are the Materials precious metals like gold or silver or something very expensive?

Cheers Mike

Hi Zilano

Yes, 5k is good price range. Any estimate on when we can buy one? This year?

Cheers Mike

Hi Zilano

After 110 years from Tesla and 20 years from Don Smith, no one has replicated the resonate designs to power homes for a reason.

Need exact plans and parts list, as there are too many variables to get one working.

Cheers Mike

Ok I have a 14 gauge bifilar secondary with a 22 gauge primary. I'm getting twice the glow on the bulb as I was getting before. I'm not sure of the voltage because its more turns on the secondary then I had before so way above 450v and I didn't want to subject my scope to it. I would do the calculations for primary vs secondary, but I don't even know what the voltage coming out of my flyback transformer is. But I do know the input to the system, and its 12-13 volts with an amp meter hooked up in the video. The bulb is a 6 watt bulb according to the package. At the best Freq, duty cycle, and spark gap distance, and glow from the bulb, my input is about 5 watts and the bulb is glowing as you see in the video. Still way under unity but I'm getting closer and its fun climbing this wall. I test more then what I did in the video, was just showing the possibilities. In thinking ... I wonder if the analogy of pushing someone in a swing when relating to this means... do you have to push the swing every time comes back to you? Can you just push the secondary at half the resonance of it so just to tap it along? Primary 1/2 res of secondary, 1/4? 1/8? Will test. Still working. More tips zilano? please

video: Don Smith device Just testing 2 - YouTube

Maybe I should post a diagram of my circuit so you can tell me if I'm doing anything wrong. I don't have a ground hooked up, but I tried hooking a ground all over the place and it didn't make much difference. I only have one ground not two separate ones, is that important? And the bulb is hooked in parallel directly on the secondary.

Where do the caps go on the secondary in the drawing you attached?

Ok, thanks Will try tommorow.

Hi Zilano

No negatives from me just, just an observation of where we are since Tesla discovered it 110 years ago. I will buy one of your home units and look forward to that day when you sell them or the plans so we all can make one. At least you will make something that works.

Keep up the good work.

Cheers Mike

thanks this goes well with our current group research...

Harvesting Energy From the Sun Using Crystals

let me make this clear, you want me to get acquainted with 50 hz and 60hz,

The Amplitude Modulated carrier frequencies are in the frequency range 535-1605 kHz. Carrier frequencies of 540 to 1600 kHz are assigned at 10 kHz intervals.
How do you get to 60Hz from 600Khz .

What is the wattage and losses over voltage divider 11 to drive a transformer, to successfully drive a load?

There is a method i use to find information, and most of you know it, and that is triangulation, so far you have given one clue, i need two more and i'll have a clearer picture...so I'll be patient, do some research, and mostly wait to see what you will be posting Z....

Crystal radio...hmmm...

Perhaps a subtle adjustment of the center tap ground point creates a slight imbalance in the two halves of the bifilar that mixes to produce a low frequency envelope riding on the high frequency resonating in the coil halves. Feed that through a diode with an RC and you can have your 60Hz.

Just a guess, though...
