Donald Smith Devices too good to be true

[ilandtan]

Hey.
The Smith is talking about in its simplest form is an adjustable spark gap. But the arrester is ineffective in this case, it is better to use regulated inductance .. the adjustable capacitor will not work here ..

Please expand, I am not sure what is being said.

DS says his gaps and arrestors are always used to limit the amount of energy. Which I found is true in practice. If you place a SG in series with HV, the SG will hold the voltage down to the airgap breakdown voltage. Same is true for an arrestor. If have a 12kv secondary NST, and you put a 2kv GDT in series, the voltage will stay around 2kv.

I know you highlighted your key points, but I just wanted to show just the passages around the shunt.

Please jump in and correct me

All parts of his circuit are trivial, I mean it appears fairly straight forward, but I have no clue about the grounding shunt.

If we analyze the explanation from Don, we always ignore the base assumptions about energy.

• we need to have a magnetic field
• we need some way to intercept the flux

I need to find out if the shunt somehow creates magnetic flux.

If I had a trifield meter, I would be taking a 100-500 Ohm pot to Earth ground of Slayer RX, to see if I had any magnetic variance or "damming" effect, while adjusting the pot.

Does Anybody Have a Trifield Meter To Test this theory?

I found it interesting how Don talked about the Schematic in the 1994 video .. about the one he drew on the white board.

each time one is tripped it gives of a magnetic impulse First and then wen it comes back on that infinity loop it gives of an electrical impulse .. and this goes on perpetually

Hi ilandtan,
Great work. Looks like you have save us all a lot of work. THis will make it easy for me to spend some time on this whle away!

Thanks and Regards

I don't want to steal Utopia Now's labor of love. He is the source of the hard work here.

I think we should reflect on it and build small experiments to prove it's content.

Hi Guys,
Wedding went off without a hitch! A really good day for everyone. Thanks for your comments.

I found that there were two sections of critical information. There could be more, just takes a few viewing of his comments to decipher. These were in the second video in the first part where he is talking about teflon and mylar. The other important bit, to my mind, was in the Second part again, but in the last video section where he is discussing the Marx Generator. Some how. he is looking for large voltage spikes. I have been trying to concentrate on this long video.

Off to Japan on Monday, thinking ceases for several weeks!!!!

Probably every one allready seen these .. but for me these 2 video`are new :

Don Smith 1995 Tesla Symposium

I am Happy

Yes very interesting video , i posted them in my thread also , fortunately they are public so more info is available now !

I am Happy

Yep it was posted recently, and it was new for me too when I saw it. You really feel that Don had insights to how build something that worked differently outside classic physics, and a video where he really explains how a device is supposed to work through most of the stages.

Though it still is incomplete.

Congratulation Dwane ! have a great time

Hi guys,
Pretty hectic for me at the moment. My daughter is getting married on Friday 28th December, I am off to Japan on the 31st December, and we have Christmas in two days!! However, I am moving forward, still found some time. I am learning the best way to control the carnauba wax. Melt and mix, then pour into mould. Let it cool down to about 40C, then reheat the mould and contents to about 80C -100c: allowing for mould density. Such that the wax is like very soft putty but not liquid. Charge from here, avoids punch through from possible current build up. Getting quite good results. Should be able to test one or two when I return from Japan. About a month.

Have a great Christmas Season and I trust we will all be looking forward to a great new year!

Regards

Dwane

Congratulations and have a safe and wonderful holiday with your family.

hi

now my very stupide question:
if we plug a cap 25 micro farad ( 350 ac v) to the mains
it will draw 2 Amps?

is that power registred on the home meter? ( cos 90 = 0 v*i *cos )
this is var current?

thanks
best regards
luc2010

Hi !

there's no perfect capacitor so you have a pure reactive current ( wattles ), there's other hidden resistive material either in the capacitor itself or the power source , the angle phase will shift slightly and the meter will see power consumption

hope this help .
