Smith just shows his suitcase model, which was prob filled with batteries. when asked to leave it running, he refused.

What did he demonstrate? In the videos I have seen he just makes fantastic claims that would seem to be not true.

[turbotom71]

i've watched all his videos...I think he sufferred from some mental illness is the best i can come up with.
descriptions that say he was inspired by tesla, then in that 5part video, he says that he didn't even know who tesla was, had heard the name, but that's it. he only found out about him when he discovered that tesla had made what "HE" had discovered??? but he seems to be well educated of all the characters of the era...maxwell, faraday,..etc...but didn't know about tesla???
anyways, then he says his machine is powered by a 9volt......then he says a 12volt...then in the you have him calling th l1 coil an l2, then the other way around, then he doesn't know which is which. then he has a device there, but didn't bring the right cables to hook it up??? why bring it?
the only reason that makes me think it can work, is because Kapanadze has fully demonstrated his, unlike Smith. Smith just shows his suitcase model, which was prob filled with batteries. when asked to leave it running, he refused.
then there are a lot of times he just looks confused!?
but yet, he seems knowledgable at other times?!
If he built these machines(which he never shows them running), he should have a hell of a lot more confidence and ascertiveness?? talking about them.
don't know how else to explain it, or him for that matter.
"anyone can make this" , then later, "you can't get these diodes, you would have to get them from me"...or the capacitors..I had them specially made"
watch all vidoes, and listen to all his words carefully..
I still believe in the gen, only because of Kapanadze, and a bunch of russians that are posting on youtube. it can be done i believe. getting my parts together to attemp a working model.
the concept of how it works is easy, getting it to happen....????

There is also the 18 part series here: YouTube - Donald L. Smith 1996 Tesla Symposium Part 1

Hi Farmhand,

just search in "youtube" on "Donald L. Smith" and you will find part 1 here:
YouTube - Donald L. Smith_Device [1 Of 5]

Also this famous website: "http://www.free-energy-info.co.uk/" has lots of articles, foto's and videos of Don.

Good luck, regards Itsu.

Oh, well that was easy, I don't know why I didn't think to search. How thoughtless of me.

Anyway thank you very much Itsu. Cheers

Don Smith Video's ?

Hi all, Awesome thread and some fantastic links, excelent stuff. I'm a bit disapointed because I can't seem to find any Don Smith video's, the link in the first post says video removed by user, I was wondering.

Does anybody have the video's, or know of another source for download ?
And if anyone does have them could they be made availiable for download, not necessarily from youtube, just any way possible, in the best quality possible or practical ?

I'm downloading the one from metacafe now, had to join to do it. Is that the five part presentation in it's orignal form ? I hope so, but then I don't because if it's different that means there are more video's which is good.

I haven't finished the thread yet so forgive me if they are linked again in here somewhere.

Cheers

The keywords provide clues...

After reviewing the youtube vids several times Dr.Smith mentioned several key words that I looked into like dinode and cummulative and how tv picture tubes were over unity devices and the like. Also after reading the pdf document on Resonant Energy Methods it became clear that the cummulative energy he was describing was avalanch caused by multipactor effect. Since the magnetic waves at radio frequency cause the accumulation of electrons His Plasma tube system appears to be the multipactor effect. I also noticed his picture of the wave that builds in amplitude which happens to be a reversal of a damped harmonics diagram on wikipedia. Dinode, stimulated secodary electron emission, skin effect, high voltage, radio frequency= energy sink...fascinating subject...maybe we will all have multipactors in the future...if it works...Dr Stiffler might know about this...I kinda think he does...
I could be off in left field somewhere till I prove it to myself any comments welcome...powers out again....

There are some of us out here trying to duplicate his devices in my opinoin his work was some of the best I personally have ever seen.The most practical and somewhat understandable.
I have built one of the coils as we dont get off the shelf coils here and have a hard time finding parts of any type.
If there is someone out there with a spare Neon trf 30Khz I could test my coil.
Here is a picture of the coil I have built.

This guys in Midrand JHB sell neon transformers.
DexiTrade Under Construction
They also sell magnets

1996 Tesla magazine.

Anybody have the copy "1996 TESLA MAGAZINE" that mentioned by Don smith the 1996 TESLA symposium ?

I read the link that is on this thread there is a info that with sparks they are dangerous to health cause they emit X Rays. So Selekolela know exactly what you're going to do about the spark gaps and be cautious.
Thanks

Beautiful, man. I plan on building one of these soon. What are the wire gauges, diameter, and number of turns of your coils?

Look forward to hearing about your success with a driver circuit, too. I built a 555 timer one and I wasn't able to get the frequency anywhere near high enough.

[tutanka]

just a suggestion, you could make your own HV supply with a simple 555 circuit and a flyback transformer

You need an snubber circuit or your mosfet don't have long life..

[Selekolela]

Thanks I will give it a try!
