Magnetic Resonance Devices based on Don Smith Concepts

Nice experiment, that tiny HV module is very sweet, I want one! The spark gap's a beauty too!

The tiny red hairpin wire must be going at a hell of a lick lol, I'm suprised the blue base caps can keep up.

So the seperate JT is unpowered and in the vicinity and is lighting? Do you notice your hairpin neon dimming if you bring the JT coil very close to the hairpin?

Do you have another JT to put close by and see if power is shared or do they both light just as bright?

edit:
Do you have a scope available?

Here is the little driver and it's worth the $4.95

I through this together quick but the neon won't light unless I'm touching it, it is reaching with me, so the more surface area of my fingers that are touching it the more it lights up.  It will also light if touch the caps as well and if I remove the red hiarpin wire it stays lit fully....I can actually see little electrical sparks inside it.  I haven't noticed this but after my spark gap is put together it will be a lot easier to test stuff.  Right now it's just placed by hand.

I wish I had a scope.

@ stprue

Does the neon light if you remove the red wire loop?

Yes it lights both side fully.

@ stprue

I like your spark gap. Did you make it?

No I wanted something accurate so I bought one.  Here is the link!  Lots of good stuff here but not always the cheapest.

great hairpin build, you must be having real fun with that little baby 

Just wondering how far away the JT lights the led.

Nice HV psu are you willing to share details on this as it could be very handy for driving the primary on Don's coils.

Yucca

The grommet strip certainly spaces the wire well, a tip is to make sure you push something like a ruler down it's length before gluing just to make it look nice and straight.

The problem i have with my theory on the 1:1 coil coupling is that he says he uses 60Hz for the final load conversion to drive presumably household devices, and i wouldn't imagine the 1:1 coil would work at such low freq's

It looks like he uses crisscrossed litz wire on that final inductor

Thanks,
I just posted the link for the driver to Yucca.  I have a feeling that it has nothing to do with the JT now.  I am thinking that between the +- rails and my Dmm it's a short...so if I'm right it is lighting because it's using the +- rails on the breadboard to gather energy and the short make it work.

I could be completely wrong so I will test this today and get back with results.

@all

Looks like it is wireless!  Here is an led attached to an inductor and it is lit.  The other led on the +- rail was lit also and appeared to be the same brightness as the one on the inductor.  I can put 2 leds on the rail and they are lit very dimly.
