Capacitor Electrons Captor from Don Smith / Tesla

[Vortex 22]

½C*V²*f
Parallel: ½*0.0000002*9000²*35100=2,843,100 joules
Series : ½*0.00000005*9000²*35100=71,077 joules

Wow that's a lot of energy !!!

''  This is one of most beautiful things ever produced in the way of apparatus: I take a generator of any
kind. With the generator I charge a condenser. Then I discharge the condenser under conditions
which result in the production of vibrations''

''  The condenser is the most wonderful instrument, as I have stated in my writings, because it enables us to attain greater activities than are practical with explosives. There is no limit to the energy which you can develop with a condenser. There is a limit to the energy which you can develop with an explosive. '

Parallel: ½*0.0000002*9000²*35100=2,843,100 joules
Series : ½*0.00000005*9000²*35100=71,077 joules

Correction:- assuming the given voltage is RMS the peak voltage will be 12,728V. A full bridge rectifier will result in double the frequency so 70,200 Hz.

Parallel: ½*0.0000002*12728²*70200=1,137,254 joules
Series : ½*0.00000005*12728²*70200=284,313 joules
No matter weather the 9,000 volts quoted is peak or RMS the resulting energy is more than enough.

By multiplying by frequency aren't you effectively converting joules to joules per second or watts?

Hi tomd
Those caps are 4000V each and the maximum allowed voltage is not the same when in parallel as when in series, hope you know the basics of electronics.

About Don Smith being fake, that could be said for any unprooven device, but that doesen't mean that it is true. No need to supress this thread, people will go the way  they want whether you like it or not. They may not succed but will definitely learn a lot, if there is a chance that this would work, why not give it a try. Those who are willing and want to go that way should do it anyway.
I know that Don Smith topic has ben beeten to death many times in the past, but reading the forums is one thing and experiencing stuff first hand is another.

@maddan
Your right. However the source is a 9kv nst. Anyway I'll do the sums again using 4,000 volts.
Parallel: 0.5*0.0000002*4000²*70200=112,320
Series: 0.5*0.00000005*4000²*70200=28,080
Each cap in series would have 2000 volts across it. The total being 4000 volts.

Don's small suitcase model has a 12V battery which runs a 2.5Kv RMS 12mA nst. This connects directly to a 8000uF DC capacitor rated at 480 volts. The circuit seems to be missing some diodes to convert the AC to pulsed DC. Then basically the cap connects to an isolation transformer and then the load.

How is it that a 480VDC capacitor is being charged by a 3.75Kv peak nst?
