Just another Don Smith thread

[Vortex 22]

Now I am trying to replicate water fuel cell capacitors?
The fact that we have a Diode before the cap
This only prouve it, it's not about resonance?

Just a note to builder  / researchers


I am working on this Don Smith research I was sent


Just trying to be respectful to senders , while they are indeed
Open source fellows,
stepping up to forums can be unpleasant experience for some (past history
Of forums prior to allowing new "moderate your own board" as presented here for builders ( also one
Other open source venue I am aware of ?)!


And it seems there are a few bumps in the road to sort what is acceptable ( for builders) etiquette of entire Venue... as it applies to shared work !


Not gonna be easy...However
I firmly believe it's doable!


With gratitude and respect to those who carry water or at the tip of the spear ( research or build)!!

I know, we all know this!

The basic idea :
How to make an electron captor?

In the suitcase device around 28.8 kw output
I can see with my eyes two electrons captors?
The small electron captor is powering the bigger one?

From the Smith pdf

Regarding Don's tabletop device built in 1994 which allegedly outputted ~16kW.

We know he used 0.2uF 4000V capacity on the primary.

There is also that small 0.047uF for tuning on the sec.

And output caps are 8000V 2uF overall four 2000V 8uF in series.

Ask yourself the difference how will primary ring if you discharge a cap

directly into it or through a diode. One may expect a different result

but i found spark gap fires at the same rate. In the case with the diode we

can assume, cap first fully discharges into a coil as if there is no diode, current

rises to max, cap is fully discharged, now flux collapses and coil recharges

the cap in the opposite direction. But what now, there is a diode preventing

the cap to discharge, oscillation cannot continue. We can only assume

at this moment cap will discharge through the flyback secondary as it

is the only path it can take and this may harm the flyback cause it is not

made for such large current, even if only momentarily.

One of my scope shots that shows strong (approx) 12th harmonic.
