Donald Smith Devices too good to be true

I looked at that too. I think it's supposed to be essentially one half of the mirrored circuit, and easier to build than the original circuit because you don't need a high-voltage variable cap. But the schematic looks like it has a problem, the L1 coil will just short the HV to ground. Thinking that there might be more than meets the eye, I took a few minutes and wired it up this way. Sure enough, all that happened was that the resistor got warm from the power dissipation. No spark, no oscillations. Perhaps Soundiceuk can fill us in....

Here is an circuit even easier to replicate.

The HVM is only used to prime the circuit when a PPV that is optimately designed is used. Moray used what he called his "Swedish Stone" for a cathode.



@ Ricards

Super caps have very little resistance. Resistance generates heat loss.

@Soundiceuk
How does this circuit is suppose to perform..???

[Wistiti]

Components to step up the voltage... only have the cap/diode to made 2 stages multiplier.

OK, I tested the device with antenna and ground running from 2x 12V batteries. The dipole voltage goes from about 26KV unloaded on the workbench to about 24KV loaded with antenna and ground. The ZVS current rises from around 800 mA unloaded to around 1.2A loaded. The PPV firing, which was just a few times per second at 12V input drive to the ZVS, is now much greater and sounds more or less continuous. I would speculate that my antenna characteristics are a reasonably good match at this voltage for this driver. Increasing ion current any more will drive up the input power requirement significantly and make it harder to loop. Just slightly loaded down, enough for good firing on the PPV's but not so much that the driver is dissipating a lot of power.

Hi wistiti,

"At this time I made a further careful study of the Bible, and discovered the key in Revelation. The first gratifying result was obtained in the spring of the succeeding year, when I reaching a tension of about 100,000,000 volts—one hundred million volts -- with my conical coil, which I figured was the voltage of a flash of lightening."

Its a good read.

I have read the whole revelations, and Interpreted differently. I also do not know what he means or what tesla found out. I'm also Interested to know.

[tswift]

Tesla writes he found the solution in the book of Revelations. <SNIP> I will invite the person here that told me this and get them to expand on Revelations and Exodus.

Yes, I'm interested to hear more about this. I am more than passingly familiar with the Bible myself and I'm quite curious to hear what wisdom others have found in its pages. I hope your friend will join us.

I'll find the link a bit later but what shape was the top of the missing part of the pyramids?

It has something to do with the ark of the covenant.

Interesting, what about using very high KV Tesla coil as HVM?

Yes, I think it would work fine. The difficulty lies in rectifying it, you would need a large stack of high-speed diodes to reach whatever kilovolt rating the coil can put out. But if my understanding is correct it really doesn't matter what form of circuit generates the dipole. It just needs to be something capable of putting out tens of kilovolts to hundreds of kilovolts DC and a small output current for a modest power requirement. The PVM12 is only good for 10-20 watts, obviously a Tesla coil could deliver much more depending on what size coil you use. But the trick is to get maximum output power for minimum input power, and the role of the HVM is just to attract opposite charges from the environment so the power needs should be modest. If it's drawing a lot of power then something is wrong. Again, Bruce can correct me if I'm off base with my assumptions.

[soundiceuk]

Interesting idea, but by the time you acquire or fabricate rectifiers capable of taking the full coil voltage I don't think you'd really come out ahead. At least with the multiplier design the diodes only have to be rated for each stage voltage, not the full stack.

One idea I'm surprised hasn't been mentioned is the possibility of using a static machine. Let's see, if you had a Wimshurst generator for high voltage DC, you could put two Leyden jars on it with spark gaps and coils and basically have Bruce's mirrored arrangement with no rectifiers whatsoever. Hmm, remind me again what the famous/infamous Testatika machine looks like?
