Magnetic Resonance Devices based on Don Smith Concepts

[NTesla]

Like many people here, I have noticed several inconsistencies with Don's information. For example, toward the end of one of the videos he draws a picture of a simplified version where he states that it does not require tuning on account of a 35khz HV module - therefore he leaves out the resonant capacitors. If you look at the first demo with all the parts it has a solid-state NST that is most likely to have an output in the kilohertz range, and NOT the 60hz of a standard iron core NST! This means that the demo setup is probably not a working model (unless I missed other videos?).

An important statement Don makes to keep in mind is:

"most of the things that are in the devices that I demonstrate were put there because people expect to see them, not because they need to be there"

Considering that he does not show the device running  this would support the idea he is showing concepts, not working devices.

As to the reasoning behind this subterfuge, who knows...however to me it is interesting that he presents similar concepts to other Tesla like devices with alleged over-unity characteristics, including the WITTS devices. They all appear to utilize Tesla principles of pulsed HV and resonant induction.

He has shown what he could.Period.Not a working device.Concepts.These are simple.Resonance at high frequency and high voltage independant on load attached.Period.

Agreed with both posts above. His presentations are so mysterious.. People ask a question but answer sometimes is not even close to what a question was. One minute he sounds super erogant and foolish next minute he spits out something profound. 1996 tesla symposium. Why he hell he could not keep these 1 kw lights burning for half an hour to dissapate all doubts about batteries in his suitecase.. And the dude who supposibly did the math about that 80 amp output was wrong.. It is obvious that 120v rated 100w bulb running on 60-70 volts will draw less than half rated amperage. Why he did math as they were full power I dont know..  I wonder if he is still alive. Would love to pay a visit.

Don passed away last year, 2010, three days before Thanksgiving.

Read something interesting in the Don Smith files at yahoogroup: Radiant Energy,
called: "Don Smith's emails on Schematic Corrections.txt". Ie, comments from himself regarding his schematics.
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/radiant_energy/files/Donald%20L.%20Smith/Ambient%20Energy%20Device/
"... The plasma tube device dipole with the capacitor plates at right angle get's greater than 65,000 times the input. The energy has to be already there to be seen.
Special Interest try to discredit this type of observation.
Since this is energy from the ambient, is high frequency, use a diode bridge with the
negative plate as an open circuit. The capacitor transformer opens the door to an
endless source of useful energy. I successfully built the device here described ..."

Seems very interesting ... open circuit capacitor ... hmm ... that would be tricky to simulate in LTSpice IV ...

Also in same documents you find big changes in his public schematics ... which seems very interesting to test. For example the whole L1/L2 problems gone. Problem how to convert voltage into amperage, solved ...
If info is usable, of course.
