Magnetic Resonance Devices based on Don Smith Concepts

[Yucca]

Cheers for the list and photo!  The details have been taken....

Its decided.  I'm gonna have to go the whole 9 yards in this project, and get an order in on ebay.  It'll take a while for the components to arrive - but i'm sure it'll be worth it.  In the mean time i'll keep playing with transistors and flyback until i get the kind of output i saw on your video.  Failing that, i do actually have a HV 30KV supply i could use anyway..... 

The Don Smith/Kapandze riddle needs solving - use the force Yucca.

Hi Flathunter,

These components don't come cheap but you won't regret it, even if I can't get magic happening with Smiths configs the components are good for other experiments where I wan't to work with nice high voltages at nice high frequencies. Building a HV HF bridge with diodes into a doorknob will give a module that can be used to get a handle on loads of different higher energy effects.

I used this ebay seller, packing was good, delivery was 3 weeks to europe:

if you want to order multiple items maybe write the seller and ask if he can combine shipping before you order.

Hi all,

I did an experimental secondary coil today, 24 turns of 18AWG, diameter 60mm, length 100mm. I will wind another 40turn coil that is longer and only 50mm diam when I get a form.

[2] Spacer removed and lolipop stick ribs glued on
[3] Finished coil
[4] Fairly uniform

I used a plastic talcum powder container slit along its length and then taped the slit inside, then I taped on 4 pieces of cardboard with space between each. After winding I secured the end with tape, removed the bell wire spacer and glued the ribs on, the glue did not stick to the container because the cardboard lifted the wire above. After drying I removed the tape from the slit and squeezed the form to remove it.

Now I'll make a 6 turn primary with 12AWG, I won't be gluing primary onto the ribs, I'll make a slipover coil so I can swap different primaries out.

This seems very related to these device types and I recommend it as a good read to anyone working on this type of stuff:

In theory a tiny loop antenna sitting on your lab bench can intercept just as much energy as a longwire 1/2-wave antenna which is 10KM long. Bizarre, eh?

I made a small adjustable spark gap using tungsten rods, cut and flattened off with a dremel. here's a video of 2,200pF firing across a 1.5mm gap into a 12V auto bulb:

of course the bulb lights much more efficiently using straight DC, this was just for fun.

Hi Yucca!

Great to see you're beautiful work with the coils!  I was winding my own coils round a sewage pipe about a month ago, and they sure look much uglier, and far far less precise (still managed to get the wireless transfer working though  ) - you've done very very well with that air coil.  I'll have to go to the site you linked to for coil winding as i remember it had some good advice.  Cheers for the Bill Beaty link, and the link to the 13005 transistors.  I love the way Bill writes - very lucid and down to earth...i'm half way through it, and will finish reading the rest soon.

I was back down the radio market, and the same guy sold me a couple more chunky metal transistors - i think they are the same as the one which was a winner.  He showed me the parametres today, and he seemed to think it was 10 MHz - even faster than the 13005! he must have made a mistake last time, as he told me 1 MHz.  They have ''2T841A 8911'' written on them.  He has plenty more if i need some    Also managed to get a 1 microfarad ceramic cap, and 2 more lead acid batteries - 6V 2.8 AH, and 12V...er....and i reckon 5 AH, but not certain.  These Russian radio markets are a little unreliable for the details!  I'll get playing ASAP, but the wife and daughter are back and its a little cramped for playing with high voltage in my one room flat!  Perhaps i'll have some time tomorrow when they go for a walk down the park.

Keep going mate, and be lucky! 

PS.  Heres a vid of the 1cm spark - terrible quality, and not really worth watching....but just to prove I am with you on this....just quite a way behind!

and one of my wireless power.  The lamps are mostly CFL's and neons, but there are 2 12V diode lamps there also - just to prove its not just ionised gases, but current down a wire also
