Donald Smith Devices too good to be true

hi

now my very stupide question:
if we plug a cap 25 micro farad ( 350 ac v) to the mains
it will draw 2 Amps?

is that power registred on the home meter? ( cos 90 = 0 v*i *cos )
this is var current?

thanks
best regards

Sir,
you ever come up with a simple solution?

best regards

LOL I tend to overthink stuff, but the cursed usually does.

[luc2010]

since i dont know for sure,

may be, i must do the experiment?
by conneting a cap to the mains and see if it can turn the home meter??

thanks and regards

It depends on:

• How you are charging that capacitor.
• If the input power charging the capacitor is affected by the load.
• How quickly you discharging the capacitor

A charging capacitor is a huge load, a charged capacitor is not. You pay for the charging. If you use the grid that way.

In my EVG replaction, I charged a 450V/460uF cap to 400V using grid current. It used between 2 to 3 Amps at 400VDC. I was pulling 800 to 1200 watts to charge that capacitor and discharge the cap fast enough to provide continuous motion of a crankshaft. That is real power that is turning the meter.

However there are more efficient ways to charge a capacitor (HV/HF). You can do it by radiant energy, and the input won't see the output load. In the case of a tesla coil RX/TX perhaps. Think of yourself living next to a radio station transmitter.

You can get a tuned circuit to ring to the station frequency, and then place a diode bridge to drive your load. The radio station doesn't feel you leeching off their transmission. The downside is it's hard to scale up if you are making a TX yourself.

Be safe if you are working on the grid, use an isolation transformer, and proper fusing.

Hi !

there's no perfect capacitor so you have a pure reactive current ( wattles ), there's other hidden resistive material either in the capacitor itself or the power source , the angle phase will shift slightly and the meter will see power consumption

hope this help .

Hi guys,
Pretty hectic for me at the moment. My daughter is getting married on Friday 28th December, I am off to Japan on the 31st December, and we have Christmas in two days!! However, I am moving forward, still found some time. I am learning the best way to control the carnauba wax. Melt and mix, then pour into mould. Let it cool down to about 40C, then reheat the mould and contents to about 80C -100c: allowing for mould density. Such that the wax is like very soft putty but not liquid. Charge from here, avoids punch through from possible current build up. Getting quite good results. Should be able to test one or two when I return from Japan. About a month.

Have a great Christmas Season and I trust we will all be looking forward to a great new year!

Regards

Dwane

Yep it was posted recently, and it was new for me too when I saw it. You really feel that Don had insights to how build something that worked differently outside classic physics, and a video where he really explains how a device is supposed to work through most of the stages.

Though it still is incomplete.

Yes very interesting video , i posted them in my thread also , fortunately they are public so more info is available now !

Hi Guys,
Wedding went off without a hitch! A really good day for everyone. Thanks for your comments.

I found that there were two sections of critical information. There could be more, just takes a few viewing of his comments to decipher. These were in the second video in the first part where he is talking about teflon and mylar. The other important bit, to my mind, was in the Second part again, but in the last video section where he is discussing the Marx Generator. Some how. he is looking for large voltage spikes. I have been trying to concentrate on this long video.

Off to Japan on Monday, thinking ceases for several weeks!!!!

Don 1994 video

I found it interesting how Don talked about the Schematic in the 1994 video .. about the one he drew on the white board.

different frequencyslightly out of tune .. so you need a variable device herewave shaping manouvre an other manouvre resonant iron core transformer systema delaying effect on the second spike

1.11.09 we are working with a DC spike getting in and we want to get rid off the spike. 50 and 52 w and the other coil is 20 w for lowering the voltage

Hi ilandtan,
Great work. Looks like you have save us all a lot of work. THis will make it easy for me to spend some time on this whle away!

Thanks and Regards
