It means I'm not sure how the signal look like but most probably it is now a positive pulse which never reach zero (above zero).That's because of intermodulation of two positive pulses from two HV outputs of neon transformer.

This is what the signal looked like for me (full wave rectified, to the right):

Have you examined closely chapter 3 of Patrick Kelly regarding Don Smith device. kelly asserts that Don has arranged the capacitors of his table-top device in series despite the fact seen as in parallel.

It clear to me that the caps ae in parallel. I cannot even fathom any configuration to be identical with the one shown in the pictures and yet the collector caps to be arranged in series.

Any ideas?

I did not bother using anyone else's interpretation of DS device, as we have true photographs of them (or whatever is alleged to be a working device).

I did read whatever Patrick Kelly had to say, but that's is his own opinion and nothing else to me, it does not prove or disprove a thing.

Sadly, I now feel that DS devices are just cute component arrangements that are supposed to demonstrate some proof of principle and nothing else, I doubt they ever worked as claimed.

DS might have been trying to tell everyone something and we have all mis-interpreted what he had to say for a proof while blindly looking and replicating his showcase circuits, which were not intended to work at the first place.

Thought you guys can use this ?

Just my imput?

I said you all you have to know about primary.
Parametric Resonance

Adjust parameters to make it ROTATE !
In electrical therms Imho it means that transmitter is producing continuously radiation in space (EM or scalar) much greater then input energy.

I have ALREADY TOLD YOU TESLA RESONANCE!

w:=2.4
A:=0.16
not a perfect because output is slowing and speeding up periodically (like pulsating TPU output huh?) and 10 seconds is required to make it work (again TPU)

@ Amigo

Brilliant spoken my friend. I ave spotted several mistakes Patrick Kelly have made myself so no use in mention them.

@Boguslaw,

Parametrics or no, resonance for sure is in play. In any case, parametrics IMo have nothing to do with enegy extraction (perhaps only helpful)

Our best bet, is resonance to disturb ambient magnetic/ether/electrons/telluric/nuclear you name what component and in turn this to offer energy.

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. ...

@Turion,

Please update us with your progress.

Thank you,
Rosphere

Heading towards a Don Smith resonance replication, i face huge problems regarding the L1 cap.

Do you know any cap(s), able to withstand say 4Kv at 50 amps, with Dv/Dt 2-3 Kv range /us, operated at 100 Khz with insignificant dissipation factor (i.e. not heat), and resonably priced?

From a preliminary research, the only decent for LC tank circuit, are the doornob types, but those are quite small capacitances as 1000, 2000 or at best 4700 pf.

For a typical don circuit, 42 of them are required! lol

Perhaps you could make your own?

[h2ocommuter]

Bar,
I have looked on ebay and found four or five auctions of these types
5KV 32 uf for less than $100. but they have illusive to find. you can find them if your consistant on the searches.

Good luck.

h20,

Hey man! those are of DC type propably.. Everyone must give carefyle note on note the fact that the capacitor needed for a high Q tank circuit must possess certain properties.

namely to be able to work at intended RF (50-200 Khz) frequencies with minimum heating, possessing good Dv/Dt characteristic, etc.

those mentioned (32uf, at 5Kv) are NOT suited for LC tank circuit. Actually there are only for storing energy and used in pulsed circuits.

...

The only way to make my own of the required quality and capacitance is to make a MMC bank like tesla coils.

Try Discount Electronic Components ? Tedss.com , they have caps up to 10kv in all sizes AC and DC

Thanks Dragon for this site!

From your experience the best Q (caps or MMC) for LC tanks circuits (large currents at say 100-200 Khz) are what?

Polypropylene? I know vaccum caps are best or mica, but since are way too expensiv and capacitance way too low, (i need say 200-500 nf) i condider alternatives.

Here is a site that helps to explain the MMC caps and gives a list of the best ones to use with links Tesla Coil Design, Construction and Operation Guide

Unless your using all the exact components that Don used I would tend to match the NST to the cap then design L1 for that cap to resonate at L2 frequency.
