1. Added 4 KW device photo and some titles

2. Hello. This picture is part of Smith Library that I uploaded in June. There is no description, only these two images. Here's yet another view of the same device extracted from 2005 Inventor's weekend video (low quality):

3. You can publish any further details and photos of 4KW generator please?
   Thank You Miroslav

4. Hello. There is a problem about the schematics part. Official schematics posted on the net and constructions will not work the way they are presented. They need fixing and this is where people get stuck. They would have been more productive if they started with the basics of Don's and that is the "Don Smith Effect" (see at the end of NuEnergy posts collection on this blog) and experimented on it, the rest of his devices are just a hinge off of that. Don Smith's discovery is what he calls a "Don Smith effect", where the charge if put on one plate of the capacitor, it duplicates the same charge on the second plate from the ambient background (air and earth groundings). This forms an open system, where the input never gets depleted. Capacitor used determines the power output as he mentions. This is different from the conventional closed circuits where the source is grounded back to itself (in other words, "+" sees "-" directly, the source is self-destroying). What he demonstrated on the 2005 Inventor's Weekend conference is rather simplified version demonstrating the open circuit concept. Capacitor he uses could be in the nanofarads range at best, the same experiment can be done with much larger capacitors yielding much larger power output.

6. Hi! I have been experimenting on this and I see a problem with this don smith effect. The charge on the cap is divided around 50:50 on the plates. If you dump the second plate to ground, you indeed still have the charge at the first plate. A diode before the first plate helps with this. When other pulses arrive at the first plate, the first plate is already at max voltage. No change there so there is not change on the second plate. The system basically stops. Even if you dump the first plate through an SCR or something you still get 100% on the cap charge. No extra there.

   Decyphering Don’s circuits is also a dead end. On his famous device he has 2 diodes connecting the HV input to the prim coil. What this actually does is it changes the HV PSU terminals into a full wave rectifier, so the waveform is half the voltage and only positive peaks. Then he has 2 “custom caps” over the primary winding. This takes out the ripple and basically put 400v DC through the primary, which is now a pure short with no changing magnetic field (because of DC) and this is then returned to the PSU’s center tap.

   I know Don tells stories, sometimes lies and tries to hide some of the device workings. I can understand this, since he was in the business of selling his inventions. You can get some ideas from his pictures, but I have not found anything that works yet. I would pay money to see any of his devices actually running. Why he had the one device inside the suitcase was because he had it povered with a nuclear battery. At least this is what he told in some video. So it was a home made inverter that gave 120Hz out. He said “60 peaks up and 60 peaks down” making me think he does not know what 60Hz is… If you look at the drill he uses in that demo, it barely rotates telling me the voltage and current is low or just out of phaze
