The Resonance Energy Device Secret Revealed

[hope-hope]

proposal circuit need to be tested.

You left out the _mains powered_ inverter that is prominent at the upper left corner of the Don Smith device.

Ooops.  ETA: As Void has pointed out, I mistook the power cord for a Mains power cord, when it is actually going to a Battery, to power the inverter. I've corrected my note on the photo to reflect this correction. Sorry about the confusion, it is all mine.


Here are another couple of my videos that you might find interesting:

That doesn't make any sense.   An inverter converts from DC to AC, not AC to AC.
The inverter in the picture is marked as being a 12VDC to 115VAC inverter. Don Smith
used the inverter so he could power his device with a 12VDC battery. His neon sign transformer is powered
by nominally 115/120 VAC, so Don connected as follows. 12VDC battery connected to a 12VDC to 115VAC inverter,
connected to small AC Variac, connected to a 115/120 VAC NST. Except for the 12VDC battery, this is all
clearly visible in the picture. I can't vouch that Don Smith's device here actually produced over unity, but
there is no question that is how he has the NST wired in to its power source in the photo.

All the best...

You are right, thank you for the correction, and I apologize for any confusion, the main confusion is mine.
The wires I indicated must be going to the battery, then. I don't know what I was smoking, capacitors probably, but I wish I had more .... 

Regardless, you will note that there is neither battery nor any other power source indicated in the schematics posted by hope-hope. So good luck getting any output, without any input.  All electrical free energy devices we have seen here, including those of Don Smith, of course have a big battery, or are connected to the mains somehow. Smith's devices are refreshing, though, because they at least don't have the usual mess of colored clipleads. But where are the DMMs?

I am still waiting for someone to reveal the secret of "the resonance energy device". Perhaps they will also explain the secret of the great increase in bulb brightness that I demonstrate in my videos above. Perhaps it is even _the same secret_.

I do like your videos TK,, they are fun and often educational.

Your circuit must be at a fairly high rate since I can see no flicker in the light.  I suppose it does not need to be so high for my eye not to see it.

Thanks. The transmitter-receiver system oscillates very fast, at about 700-800 kHz. The very simplest receiver is just a resonant tank with the bulb as an inductive-resistive element in parallel with the transfer loop and tuning capacitor, so it is getting AC-stimulated far faster than the filament can heat and cool, so no chance of seeing flickering there. And the slightly more complicated receiver in the second video is rectified with an ultrafast high current diode, and filtered with a hefty electrolytic cap after the tank stage so the bulb is getting DC.
