New I look forward to repeatable instructions! Can I put the full instructions on my Don Smith page?

http://gratisenergi.se/donsmith.htm

Maybe you should consider sell it as a Kit? I don't know the price but Andrea Rossi wants $25USD for 10 watt and $250USD for 100 watt. Is it possible to loop it? Andrea Rossi's E-Cat SkLep is selfrunning with no input power.

Can your Don Smith version 2 and 3 use a battery as a starter?

Best Wishes, Hermes


New jukka.kortela(at)artificialintelligence.fi believes he have discover the secrets of Don Smith energy inventions and he is willing to give the instructions of how to build them to the world for free by sending request to his e-mail. The following is his message:

I will send the detailed instructions the people that want to build the device through the email. My plan is to give the instructions for free. If anybody need more help I can instruct through email.

My profession is University Lecturer and I have real degree, Doctor in Technology in Chemical Engineering. And my exact field is Process Systems Engineering, I teach control and automation, signal analysis and physics and chemistry based dynamic modelling full time.

Why I give it free is that I am already doing bigger things. I also do audio software that improves sound quality for macOS, Windows, Android and iOS. It is named BAPU bapu.fi. In addition, this has been hidden too long time, over 100 years. Best regards, Jukka


New Dear Jukka, I have updated my Don Smith page with your contact information and wishes. Wait until the the end of your work day for my Don Smith page to update:

http://gratisenergi.se/donsmith.htm

I have two questions. 1) Do you have instructions of how to wind the coils? instead of buying them? and 2) What are the total part cost for a 100 watt Don Smith Unit?

Best Wishes, Hermes


New I have a good method how to wind The big coil in Don Smith Device 3.

I have also Solidworkz and STL file for 3D printing of the frame supports for coil. Small coils are super cheap ($11) I would not do those myself. The free energy parts are max 100 euros.

Super capacitors are two times 70 euros. Kemet 12 V 5F. 400V->12V transformers are super quality. 250 euros and I use one for the signal generator and one for output.


Hi Simon,

Is there any broken symmetry in the Don Smith devices?

http://gratisenergi.se/donsmith.htm

and even if you can get 100 watts out for 0.3 watts in. There is also the power of the wallet to consider?

100 watts of the Don Smith device cost 500 euros. While Andrea Rossi E-Cat SKLep cost 250 US Dollar for 100 watts. Here is the link to the description of E-Cat SKLep. As you can see Andrea Rossi has left the cold fusion field and now into high voltage devices:

https://e-catworld.com/2023/01/06/rossi-patent-application-electric-energy-generator-and-electric-energy-generation-method/

Best Wishes, Hermes


Hi Hermes,

I can't see any broken symmetry. Looks to me that he's measuring VARs and just multiplying the amps (from an ammeter) by the volts (from a voltmeter) without looking at the phase difference. At resonance, the phase difference between volts and amps is almost 90°, giving very little real power.

Get a system with a high Q, and feed it a resonant frequency, and you get a much higher voltage and current in the circuit than you're feeding in. Using a Quartz crystal, that can be 10,000 times the input volts/current (normally we'll fix it so the voltage doesn't go high, but the current does, since otherwise it gets hard to find semiconductors to drive it, however see the piezo-ceramic HV generators that multiply the voltage instead).

If Don Smith's devices actually produced more energy out than in, *someone* would be making them and selling them, maybe especially the Chinese. Also see the number of people who tried this at overunity.com. Thus it isn't OU. It doesn't work.

I'd suggest you forget Andrea Rossi. His stuff has been a wash from the start, though at one point he might have been honestly thinking he'd got a result through being unable to measure things correctly. By now, I doubt if he believes he's got anything real, but he likes the income it gives him. Maybe also likes the idea of fooling a lot of people too....

I read some of the Don Smith document, and he states that the number of radio-sets picking up the transmitted wave doesn't affect the power needed for the transmitter. Of course that's wrong - if you put up an antenna and take power out of the radio wave, then the antenna will transmit a wave in antiphase to the transmitter and reduce the wave energy at that point - you get a "shadow" from the antenna. Thus one of the propositions he relies on is basically wrong, and the wrongness of the rest follows.

There may be ways to break the normal symmetries by exploiting the finite speed of light, and thus that the wave arrives with a time delay and the reaction force returning also has a time-delay. It would nee pretty high frequencies to get the 1/4-wave length down to a reasonable size, and I think no-one has yet tested this by experiment with a combination of a high-enough frequency and the right lengths of wave. The idea here is that by the time the wave from the generator reaches the coil, passing through a ferrite rod, it's 1/4-wave delayed, so the reflected wave going back (through Lenz's law) reaches the generator 1/2-wave delayed and thus accelerates the generator rather than decelerates it. I think the speed of a wave in ferrite is relatively slow, so this might be possible to implement in a system that isn't too large and where the central magnet doesn't break through spinning too fast.

I've just looked up the permittivity of ferrite, and that varies with frequency, meaning that the speed of light in ferrite also varies with frequency (dispersion will be large) so that would need to be allowed for in the design. Still, might work....Problems are of course the losses in the ferrite at high frequencies, and you'd need to measure the delay between the magnetic wave going in at one end of the ferrite and the reaction reflecting from the other end of it. So a fair amount of legwork needed before you could design something with a chance of working. The rotor of a disk-drive (or DVD) motor might be a place to start, being a magnetised ring with a N pole and S pole across the diameter, and obviously designed to run at 10krpm or above.

Then a star of ferrite rods with pickup coils at the far ends, with an outer ring of ferrite to connect the outer ends of the ferrite rods and complete the magnetic circuit. Get the core spinning at the right speed, and you should see the outer ring magnetising with a 90° phase shift and the power needed to drive the spinning ring at the centre go down because it's seeing an attractive force rather than a drag, because of the delayed wave. Might be strong enough effect to not need pushing once it reaches the right speed, and thus self-run.

Since Lenz's law is the basic symmetry that ensures that energy in electromagnetic systems is conserved, there are currently only two ways I know to break that symmetry. One is the normal-conductor to superconductor transition, giving rise to the Meissner effect where magnetic flux lines are expelled, and where the transition can be affected by a laser of the right photon energy. The other is to exploit the delay from light-speed as I've just explained. There might be a third from exploiting the change in permeability of a ferrite under mechanical stress, and thus maybe being able to change the route of magnetic flux through a system using less energy than you can gain from the change of flux, but I haven't fully explored that.

Still, it's a pretty fair bet that the almost all "historical" claims (as documented by Pat Kelly) didn't actually work, since enough other people have tried them by now that, if one actually worked, we'd have been using it commercially for a while and you could buy one off-the-shelf today. What those files tell you is what not to do to succeed - to have a chance of succeeding you need to do *something else*. Exceptions are the Lovell Monotherm (which works as claimed), the Papp Noble Gas Engine (though currently no-one knows exactly why that worked, except that it's fission-powered and not fusion as claimed), and some environmental energy collectors (maybe Testatika machine, certainly spiky balloons and line electrets in air).

Otherwise, use your head to see if it worked or not. If it worked, then someone would have commercialised it because there's a lot of profit to be made. If it's cheaper than digging up oil or coal or gas, then the energy companies would have invested in that instead.

Best regards, Simon


In addition to device 2, I am same time building Don Smith device 3. I have understood that it uses Barker & Williamson coil 3064 Inductance: 32.0 microHenrys, coil length: 10 coil diameter: 3 turns per inch: 4, wire size: 12 AWG.

Rick Friedrich said that it might be different size: What really matters is to understand fully all the concepts.

I have myself calculated it according to the information provided:

height_of_coil = 7.62 cm
length_of_coil = 25.4 cm
distance_between_wires = 0.635 cm
wire_length_one_turn = 23.9474 cm
lenght_of_the_whole_wire = 957.8943 cm
Equation:
wire_length_one_turn = sqrt(distance_between_wires^2 + (height_of_coil*pi)^2)
lenght_of_the_whole_wire = 40 * wire_length_one_turn
I made the coils myself because there wasn’t available this coil when I started
"Main coil" (coil L2)
capacitance = 0.000000047 Farads = 0.047 microFarads
inductance = 0.0000126 Henrys = 12.6 microHenrys
resonance = 1/(2*3.1415926*sqrt( 0.0000126*0.000000047 ))
resonance = 206.8168 kHz

206.8168 kHz x 144 = 29.781 Mhz (related to wavelength, speed of light in copper) 206.8168 kHz Devided by 6 (3, 6 and 144 numbers work great)
operating frequency: 34.469 kHz
If you do it without red wire, the frequency 12.400 kHz is better: To have standing wave.
standing wave: 3 (1 and half), 6 (double), 9 (0)
1, 4, and 7 are compressing harmonies (positive), or (4 7 10 is the same thing) 10 reduces to 1 2, 5, and 8 are expanding harmonies (negative))

Fibonacci: 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 144
144 can be devided with 3, 6 and 9. This also important.

Good information:

https://www.electronics-tutorials.ws/accircuits/harmonics.html

I have unwinded the coil on the center the and connected from the center. That is the reason for the inductance about 12.6 microHenrys

pecado


For the device 2, I use coils that has wire length about 990.68 cm and inductance of 150.95 microHenrys. They are from:

https://www.r-charge.net/Extra-Induction-Coil-without-base_p_338.html

I use frequency:
capacitance = 0.000000000180 Farads = 180 pF
inductance = 0.000150 Henrys = 150 microHenrys

resonance2 = 1/(2*3.1415926*sqrt( 0.000150*0.000000000180 )) 968.5861 kHz
Got it work in: around 930 kHz

I use same frequency from start to end. It is the easiest way. Other way is to use harmonies, partials, differential tones.

However, the receiving coils can be pure chords (in musical terms) of the center

The best book about the differential tones and harmonics is On the Sensations of Tone, Hermann Helmholtz from 1800's

pecado


The following links have helped me do the right calculations. I count everything and then combine. This makes working much easier and it is much safer. It is important that the frequency has an accuracy of about 3 significant digits. You get much better efficiency. Therefore, the wire length must be exactly the designed length and you can measure several capacitors and choose the ones with the right value:

Honestly, I have got best hints from https://www.r-charge.net/Renaissance-Resonance-Induction-Coupler-Kit-_p_305.html and https://www.r-charge.net/resonance-induction-coupler-kit-part-2.html.

This book explains the best the electric fields and some fundamentals of free energy in really good way. There is one small error (Nikola Tesla 's equation): Research in Solid State Free energy generators (latest version - working here).docx. I call it 723 pages book

The rest I have figured by myself just by reading a lot different literature.

To get "Don Smith device 3" fully working, it is much easier to test first with smaller device (also that you don't hurt yourself) with the bifilar coil (L2 with CW and CCW rotation winding matching single coil in Resonance Induction kit 1) included in:

https://www.r-charge.net/resonance-induction-coupler-kit-part-2.html.

Quote from the link:

"This is the next addition to the Resonance Induction Coupler Kit (R.I.C.K.) that adds more parts downstream to make a testing bed to more safely learn how to make Don Smith magnetic resonance energy systems, specifically Earth Electrical System II."

I have got lot of good information from this kit and I have got also 1/4 wave with red wire working. It has a lot of parts and the value of the information and parts is much than $250. And this bifilar coil can be 100 % sure excited with much lower frequencies by utilizing harmonics or differential tones.

pecado


For small Don Smith Device 2:

I am using this for accurately measuring amperage
Tekbox tbcp1 RF current probe
Max. primary current (DC – 400 Hz): 80 A
Max. primary current (RF): 3 A
10 kHz - 250 Mhz
(The amperate is calculated from the voltage measurement according to the chart in the manual)

You can it, for example, from here:

https://iosignal.fi/?s=rf&submit=Search

Now there is new models that accept thicker wire with thick plugs and the frequency range goes from 1kHz to 800 Mhz. This is the absolute the greatest way to measure RF amperage.

I am using this for accurately measuring voltage 0 - 20000 V:
Testec TT HVP 15HF

pecado


I had to study a lot of physics and then I finally got it how to get an amperage. I also studied a lot of music theory. I get 350mA from the coil already connected in series and at the same time 400V. Then the 6 wireless coils around the center coil repeat 70mA and same time about 200 - 300 V each one. The solution was right thinking and then the really simple connections to the ground.

I'm not here to advertise and I have no business relationship with the following, but the name says a lot in r-charge.net front page:

"Also the Resonance Induction Coupler Kit Part II for learning how to complete a Don Smith System." It has been there from the last year 2022.

There are a lot of good hints that finally make you get it if study all the links included and some additional literature, for example, On Sensations of Tone, Hermann von Helmholtz and The Universal One, Russell, Walter to get rid off of the ordinary thinking.

pecado


If the center is 960 kHz = 0.96 Mhz, some of the coils around the central coil can use 100 pF capacitor. It is 1.28 MHz.

In music, chords MI and FA, for example, C-E, C-F you can use 1.333 (4/3) and 1.25 (5/4) ratio and they don’t disturb the center. It is funny, that you find capacitors in those exact positions. I have playing violin 39 years and done all music theory (I have a diploma for it), so I know what I am talking about. It is not any new age stuff in a negative sence.

Both ascending and descending harmonies (positive + and negative -)

ascend MI(2) SO(5) = negative harmonies (expanding)
descend LA(7) FA(4) = positive harmonies (compressing)

This is how you have to design it.

Hi

I would remove Simon 's text in:

http://gratisenergi.se/donsmith.htm

All what he is saying absolutely wrong and what you are doing is spreading same misinformation as everybody else. Almost everybody nowadays because they don't know how the universe works. The systems are open systems and not closed systems as almost everybody thinks.

Best regards, Jukka


Hi Simon,

Jukka claim 6 watts in for 2500 watts out, but I don't know if its VAR he is measuring?

We can make the following deal. When I have read the documents. I will notify you, so you also can request them from Jukka. My goal with reading the documents is to see if one can build a low voltage device with the output in resonance that can have a big load.

I don't like high voltage, because it is dangerous. As I understand the device is high frequency, so you need a FET as a driver. Jukka has learned that is better to use squarewave without a high voltage transformer as in the original device.

Best Wishes, Hermes

and you don't need to reply to this e-mail.

P.S Jukka claim 20 Volt*300mA as input and more than 250 Volt*10 Ampere as output.


Hi Hermes,

Almost certainly VARs, so pay attention to whether he's measuring the voltage and current using separate meters, and not looking at the phase. You can also put an electric kettle on the output and boil some water. Temperature at start can be measured, as can quantity, so how much energy it takes to boil can be calculated. How long it takes tells you the power.

Boiling some water, or heating it through a temperature range, is a good way to sense-check these sorts of things.

Many people have tried using a resonant circuit to attempt to get more power out than in. It's always failed. Mentioning the resonant circuit implies they're measuring VARs and it's not real power.

Resonance is an energy store. You can get high voltages and current, but the energy input feed here is 6W so that's all you can pull out of it (minus losses) on a long-term basis.

As I've said before, you need to try a bit harder to really get OU. You also need to figure out how to break symmetries, which most of the time will involve quantum mechanics and being somewhat sneaky.

Best regards, Simon


New Hi Simon and Jukka,

http://gratisenergi.se/donsmith.htm

What do you think about Joel Lagace article?

http://gratisenergi.se/don_smith_capacitor.pdf

and the overunity video. Is he measuring VAR?

P.S I got a COVID-19 infection last tuesday and I still haven't recovery totally.

I got high fever and difficult to breath. So I thought I might call an ambulance.

But then I remember the I had two prayer clothes from Svein-Magne Pedersen:

http://gratisenergi.se/healing.htm

so I used them and fell asleep in and half hour. Next morning I had almost no fever

but I am weak until today. They say that the critical days are day 5-7. If you get more sick.

Your in trouble. I will call the ambulance if I experience difficult to breath.

New Hi Hermes,

As usual, if someone is making money from telling you how to make Free Energy, rather than making and selling either the machines or the energy, it's pretty certain it's a fraud. That's just life - if their machine really works it's worth a fortune, so why are they trying to make some money selling the plans or trying to earn money for lecturing about it?

Prove it to pretty-well any businessman and you've got a sponsor to make and sell the machines for a share of the profits. Trouble is, you do need to prove it. See the Earth Engine and Dennis Danzik, where he's fooled many people for years but is getting to the point where his backing won't last that much longer without installing actual working machines, which of course he can't do. So yep, for a while you can get sponsor even if you can't prove it right now.

Page 6 of the .pdf, the energy calculation for the capacitor is wrong, with that 10 microfarad cap at 10 volts having half a millijoule (0.0005 J), not 5 mJ. Later on, page 9, comes the idea of flipping one capacitor of the two charged ones to get back the "lost" energy. Actually, both caps would be discharged, and you end up with some current flowing but you don't get the energy back and both caps end at 0V across them. Again, the stored energy is a factor of 10 out anyway. Not sure I want to go through the other 40 pages and detail the problems, but again I'll state that he hasn't got a working free energy system since if he did it would be very obvious (and he'd be stinking rich).

Note that when you put two equal charged capacitors in series to get more voltage, that doubles the voltage and halves the capacitance, so it looks like you could use switches to charge capacitors in parallel and discharge them in series to double your input energy. Energy = 0.5CV², after all.

Voltage Capacitance Charge Energy


I'd suggest you try this in LTspice using the inbuilt Switch function rather than using real MOSFETs since that way you lose the difficulties associated with connecting real FETs. Tell me how you get on. Note that LTspice doesn't run checks for conservation of energy, just runs the simulations of the components, but will still conserve energy if that's what would happen in real life (but within an error margin). Double the energy out is way outside the error margin, so if you see that it's either real or you've messed up somewhere. Yep, I tried this a long time ago .... Still, you need to run the simulation and see for yourself.

Some other notes: you can transfer the energy in capacitor A to capacitor B, and meantime change the voltage, by first discharging cap A to ground through an inductor, then when it reaches 0 volts switch the ground side of the inductor to cap B and the cap A side to ground, and then disconnecting the inductor when the current reaches zero. Again, you can simulate that in LTspice, using the "switch" components to save having to set up drivers for real FETs, and get some idea of how these things really work and how you can convert your initial energy to whatever voltage you want. Real components of course have losses, so there are limits to how far you can push this in real life as regards voltage translation and still be pretty efficient, but once you've got that sussed you'll be less likely to be taken in by claims you can gain energy this way. Note here that if you discharge to ground through a resistor the current decays and in theory never reaches zero and you thus never get all the energy out of the capacitor. Using a coil instead and getting the switches in the right places enables you to get all the energy out of the capacitor. Means that you also need to get the timing right as to when to switch, and real components are not precise values, so for real life you'd need sensing voltage/current and a microcontroller. Hence get the idea using simulation and switches that are easy to control and can be connected in any order.

Note that if you put in a transformer in the circuit rather than a simple inductor, the inductance drops if you take power from the secondary and so it passes less energy on to the second capacitor. Again, no energy gain, just you have control over how much or little you lose.

I know I keep stressing this, but look at the symmetry here - you aren't breaking any symmetry associated with conserving energy, so it will conserve energy.

OK, reached page 18 and he's wrong that the secondary doesn't "feel" the secondary current because the primary current is displacement current. If current flows through the secondary, the primary will feel it. Further on, skimming, he's still getting the capacitor energy wrong. 0.5 x 10 x 1e-6 x 10 x 10 equals 5 x 1e-4 or 0.5mJ . Worked it out by hand here to cross-check the calculator.

OK, giving up on that. It's just too much wrong, and almost by definition it doesn't actually work.

Best regards, Simon


New Hi Hermes,

Forgot the Covid problem. Good idea to get Ivermectin if you can ("horse-paste" de-wormer if that's what you can get) and if you can't get that get an antihistamine. If you end up with a cytokine storm (result of your immune system kicking in and stopping the virus) the antihistamine will stop that doing damage.

If you've had the vaccine and boosters you likely won't get too ill. However, high fever and difficult to breathe isn't a good sign, and better call the ambulance earlier rather than too late. The antihistamine would however help with breathing. Not the right time of year to find that in the shops, but a pharmacy should have it.

Read https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7833340/#!po=34.9057 for how an old folks' home in Toledo cured their patients. Tells you how you can fix yourself.

Best regards, Simon


New Hi Simon,

thanks for your antihistamine idea! I bought it yesterday and took one pill yesterday. It was a godsend I stop vibrating and felt fine.

It worked for almost 24 hour. Then I had much less symtoms so I took another today. I have no fever and are awake longer not feeling tired.

With this antihistamine speed. I will be OK without antihistamine pills in a few days. I will be back to normal.

Again, many thanks,

Best Wishes, Hermes.

P.S I got the COVID-19 on tuesday 21 january. Now I am on 9 th day and having no fever since a few days. I have won this third battle in my life against COVID-19. Each of them has been special. Not having exactly the same symtoms.


New Hi Hermes,

Glad you were able to find the antihistamine at this time of year.

As medicines go, the antihistamine is low-risk (no nasty side-effects, main one is a bit of drowsiness so best not to drive or run dangerous machinery), so if it didn't work for you it wouldn't cause any harm either.

Same low-risk attribute on the Ivermectin if you can find it available. In fact it's safer than Aspirin.

Both probably help with a normal non-Covid 'flu, too. Not much data on that yet, but going on how they work and what's happening that ought to be true. Thus something to try (because it's low-risk) if you get 'flu.

I wish I'd known that earlier than I did....

Best regards, Simon
