SECTION 1 – Historical Overview It all starts from A Newbie's Perhaps Naïve Question:
Starring Donald Lee Smith, with Cameo Appearances by Michael Faraday, Nikola Tesla.
Also featuring: distinguished supporting roles by Vladimir Utkin, Lars Persson, Eric P.
Dollard, and the indispensable Patrick J. Kelly, of Practical Guide notoriety.
Slide 5
Turn an electric motor into a generator [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiIVkp7mMw
E] Given that IT IS clearly possible to ―reverse‖ the functionality of a device designed to
work as an electric MOTOR, and operate it, instead, as a GENERATOR…
Slide 6
What do you mean by ―essentially the same thing‖? How would one operate an
INDUCTOR in reverse? WHY in the world would it NOT be possible to do
ESSENTIALLY THE SAME THING with a MUCH SIMPLER type of device, such as an
INDUCTOR? (which is, aside from anything else, a plain old conductor, a ―length of
wire‖)
Slide 7
Well, see, all the way back in the 1800's FARADAY established the fact that ―a voltage
would be generated across a length of wire IF that wire was exposed to a perpendicular
magnetic field flux of changing intensity‖. In addition, ―Faraday was able to
mathematically relate the rate of change of the magnetic field flux with induced voltage‖ [
http://purco.qc.ca/ftp/Learning%20Electronics/DC.pdf - page 475>>] [emphasis added]
Which suggests that…
Slide 8
… rather than operating the inductor in its most frequently assigned function as an
electromagnet, one could, instead, EXPOSE IT to a perpendicular magnetic field flux of
changing intensity and proceed to ―harvest‖ electricity from the terminals.
Slide 9
Novel Idea? Not really. We have untold numbers of isolation transformers whose
secondary coils operate in the manner described. Yet, the clear possibility of employing
this method MUCH MORE BROADLY, for the purpose of obtaining electricity, is –
somewhat inexplicably – ignored and disregarded
Slide 10
This is all the more disconcerting when one considers that, in the case of the motor, or
motors, one would have to separately apply mechanical force on each of their shafts to
succeed in driving them in reverse; Whereas, in the case of a group of inductors, one
could count on the field flux associated with HIGH FREQUENCY magnetic waves,
naturally propagating from a single source point, to effortlessly trigger induction in the
whole set.
Slide 11
Donald Lee Smith, a native of the U.S. – who, according to the best information
available, lived between the years of 1928 and 2010 – found difficult to understand, and
even harder to passively tolerate. It was incongruities such as this that
Slide 12
A notable saying of Smith's was: There IS no energy shortage; only [a shortage of] grey
matter. Smith.pdf, page 71 [emphasis added]
Slide 13
Having resolved to look into the issue, Smith started by carefully studying the work of
Michael Faraday, Oliver Heaviside, and James Clerk Maxwell But he didn't stop there.
Word got to him about a certain, highly creative, Serbian-American engineer, and gifted
inventor, by the name of Nikola Tesla
Slide 14
TESLA's LATER, and most fruitful, discoveries have been, one could say, STUDIOUSLY
and METICULOUSLY avoided and ―forgotten‖ by the official science and technology
establishment. It's fair to say that Nikola TESLA (1856-1943) produced an enormous
amount of useful work over his prolific 86 years of life. In part because of this prodigious
inventiveness of his, Tesla Portraits: [http://teslauniverse.com/images/categories/nikola-t
esla-portraits]
Slide 15
Enter Smith, who saw them as a worthy challenge to tackle during his retirement years.
Tesla's work with HIGH FREQUENCY electromagnetic – as well as electrostatic –
waves, and fields, became a central subject and focus of Smith's historical / theoretical
research, and subsequent practical experiments, to put those theories rigorously to the
test.
Slide 16
And so… ―When I first started doing these things, I went through every one of (the)
experiments in Thomas Commerford Martin's… official authorized biography of TESLA…
in great detail. THAT WAS MY LEARNING PROCESS for understanding what TESLA
had done. So all the things I've done are EXTENSIONS off of Tesla. And they're beyond
– in many cases – beyond where Tesla had arrived at when he completed his work‖.

"Basically, I heard that it couldn't be done, and all the experts told me that. And that
didn't ring very true to me. So I decided I would see if what they were saying was
actually true‖. [https://www.youtube.com/watch? feature=player_detailpage&v=Mno

about it, that was the match that lit the haystack!‖ [https://www.youtube.com/watch? feat
ure=player_detailpage&v=Mnoy2D4wuf8#t=246] The Science and Engineering
Establishment was far from supportive of Smith's views on electrical generation:
Slide 18
[Prof. Poeschl] ended his lecture with the statement: "Mr. Tesla will accomplish great
things, but he certainly never will do this. It would be equivalent to converting a steady
pulling force like gravity into rotary effort. It is a perpetual motion scheme, an impossible
idea‖. Notice the similarity with Tesla's experience at the Polytechnic Institute in
Graumltz, Austria, in 1875. The issue was his (not yet fully developed) concept of the
rotating magnetic field. Prodigal Genius, a biography of Tesla by John O'Neill, page 35.
[brackets, emphasis, added]
Slide 19
Smith's ―Proof of Concept‖ Prototype, The Plasma Tube Device, was quite a remarkable
opening salvo. He selected as his driver an off-the-shelf gadget that helped limit costs,
while incorporating Tesla's key developments in high voltage and high frequency. As a
whole, the unit was an effective and straightforward demonstration of Faraday's inspired
INSIGHT that…
Slide 20
a conductor, and ―a perpendicular magnetic field flux of changing intensity‖. ALL it takes
to ―generate‖ electricity1 is 1Electricity is not ―generated‖. It is ―captured‖ by conversion
of widely available magnetic flux into electrical flux. Nature does the conversion. Humans
trigger it by creating the appropriate (catalytic) conditions, as listed above.
Slide 21
Smith's ―Proof of Concept‖ Prototype: The Plasma Tube Device The ―conductor‖, in this
case, is a flat plate capacitor, with one plate made of copper; the other, aluminum.
Excited by High Voltage, High Frequency electronic circuitry in the base of the unit, the
plasma emits intermittent electromagnetic waves, which travel alongside the tube, from
the bottom to the top. In so doing, they intersect the metal plates at right angles
(perpendicularly). This triggers induction and, thereby, puts out electricity. (65 Kw,
according to Smith). https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v

Fig.3 is a Proof Of Principal [sic] Device using a Plasma Tube as an active Dipole. In this
drawing, 5 is the plastic sheet dielectric separator of the two plates 7 of the capacitor, the
upper plate being aluminum and the lower plate copper. The connecting wires are
marked 10 and the plasma tube is designated 15. The plasma tube is four feet long (1.22
m) and six inches (100 mm) in diameter. [Note: six inches is more like 150 mm]. The
high-voltage energy source for the active plasma dipole is marked 16 and there is a
connector box 17 shown as that is a convenient method of connecting to the capacitor
plates when running tests on the device. The Plasma Tube Proof-of-Concept Device as

Slide 23
―Present day methodology requires mechanical energy in ex-change for electrical
energy. Once obtained, this energy is subject to Ohm's Law. [Yet, the fact is] Present
Methodology obtains its electrical energy from its non-metal and air groundings‖. Smith
railed against existing power plants as archaic, wasteful behemoths. [Smith was saying:
No-One really ―Generates‖ Electricity. We all DRAW IT from exactly the same source:
the Earth's magnetic and electrical fields. STOP and THINK: there is a MUCH more
efficient way to do the job].
Slide 24
―This same energy can be obtained without the wasteful mechanical approach and at a
much, much lower cost. Any required amount of electricity is available by resonant
induction transfer from the Earth's magnetic and electrical fields‖. - Smith.pdf, pg 38, 39
Smith's ―Device 6‖ Smith's ―Device 2‖ [The key word being ―TRANSFER‖. Smith DOES
NOT talk about ―getting something for nothing‖ or energy coming ―OUT of THE BLUE‖]
Slide 25
• the incalculable immensity of the energy stores and flows within the solar system – and
the Cosmos, more broadly – of which planet Earth is an integral part, a fully
interconnected sub-system, along with • the relative ease with which this vast pool of
energy can be accessed or tapped by humanity in its present stage of scientific and
technological development. Our man developed an outlook that simultaneously stressed
Slide 26
• Electrons are present in vast quantities in the Earth's Magnetic and Electrical fields –
what he called ―the Ambient Background‖. • To get them to yield energy one only needs
to ―disturb‖ them, by introducing an oscillation in the magnetic field. • As they act to
return to their natural state of equilibrium, they emit minute bursts of magnetic and
electric energy. The electric charges are lost as heat, instantly. The magnetic impulses
are harvested by intercepting them, in ways that are well known (in essence, Faraday's
perpendicular stipulation). Drawing on these enormous stores of energy was not hard to
do, Smith concluded. He reasoned that:
Slide 27
This suggests a simple, effective strategy: ―disturb‖ electrons repeatedly, at the fastest
pace possible. High frequency is clearly an avenue to explore. Among the factors
making this approach fruitful is the seeming paradox that Faraday had initially identified,
and Tesla had skillfully exploited: • the shorter the interval of ―disturbance‖, • the greater
its outcome, in the form of voltage.
Slide 28
―The number of times that an electron is cycled‖ [also referred-to elsewhere as ―flipped‖,
"disturbed", pushed apart from its ―doublet‖ mate by ―agitation"], ―sets the collective
energy potential present‖. [―collective‖ meaning ―aggregate‖ - Smith.pdf, Page 28] [This
is to say: the higher the frequency (of the ―cycling‖ or ―flipping‖), the greater the amount
of energy ―harvested‖. Which is Faraday's second basic assertion: induction is a function
of the rate of change, which is strongly related to frequency. This is easily verified in the
operation of such devices as magnetic pickup transducers]. The ―disturbing‖, ―cycling‖ or
―flipping‖ is achieved by switching on and off, tens of thousands – to – millions of times a
second, the input current to the device being used to agitate the magnetic field

Information, the Watts of Electricity Required may be calculated!‖ Note that, in this
instance, Mr Smith incorrectly conflates energy and power. Watt is a unit of power, not of
energy. This is not a minor quibble about terminology: the slip illustrates a fairly common
– yet, meaningful – conceptual error.
Slide 31
―I realized that energy is everywhere at all times, in great amounts; that it's dormant until
you disturb it, or cycle it…" ['98 Office Interview, 3:06] "and the cycling would be the
resonant activity seen in radio devices" "Resonant just simply means that you're flipping
the electrons" ['98 Office Interview, 18:10] ['98 Office Interview, 3:10] [This probably
means devices operating at or above the threshold of Radio Frequency, generally
considered to be 20 KHz] '98 Office Interview – don smith seminar on how to make it [ ht
tps://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=Mnoy2D4wuf8 ]
Slide 32
―Energy produced at radio frequency has several major advantages over the
conventional system. Ohm's Law does not apply to a resonant air-core radio frequency
system‖. Smith.pdf, page 47. "Technology present here is largely 1800's" [https://www.yo
utube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=Mnoy2D4wuf8#t=1490] "At radio
frequency, the electrons do not pass through the conductor, as [they do] at lower
frequencies. These electrons encircle the conductor, and are free of the conductor's
resistance" [Donald Lee Smith, An Answer to America's Energy Deficit, 5th Edition, Jan
1997, page 29] Smith's ―Device 3‖
Slide 33
―Each cycling of this resonant induction system pulls in additional electrons from the
Earth's electrical field, generating electrical energy in any required amount. In this
system, a small amount of electrical energy is used to activate and pull a much larger
amount of energy into the system‖. - Smith.pdf, pgs 38-39 ―Compare the ratio of the
conventional 60 c.p.s. System [with] the 220 million plus cycles of my Earth Electrical
System II‖. ―Efficiency of induction relates to the square of the cycles per second‖.
[Faraday had asserted the existence of a ―mathematical‖ relation. Smith specifies that –
given frequency X – induced voltage will be a factor of the Square of frequency X]. [In
light of this…] Smith.pdf, page 48
Slide 34
―Being in the field of geology, there were electromagnetic maps that were available,
which told me that the Earth's surface had a tremendous amount of energy in it, that was
useful.‖ ['98 Office Interview, 2:47]. The maverick researcher had spent his entire
professional life working in the oil industry as a highly competent prospector
Slide 35
―So you have an enormous electrical potential between the ionized layers and the earth's
surface, and you have an exact duplicate of it in the Earth's surface. Because, in a
capacitor, ONE PLATE HAS to EQUAL THE OTHER, or else you've got discharges
between them‖. "You have the ionized layers that are up above. They're one side of a
capacitor. The Earth's surface is one side of a capacitor…‖ [i.e., the other side] Image:

er_detailpage&v=Mnoy2D4wuf8#t=788]
Slide 36
As a man of considerable ability, and a keen student of Tesla's work, Smith was well
aware of the significance of a particular characteristic of capacitors, which – as we shall
see – the Serbian genius had emphatically highlighted and praised. Even so, he was
able to see ―the bigger picture‖: In his day and age, capacitors were no longer the only
―wonderful electrical instruments‖ (Tesla's characterization of ―condensers‖, as
capacitors were known in earlier years).
Slide 37
Said Smith, about the time he had spent, in the late '80s, meticulously studying Nikola
Tesla's long list of experiments: ―And at the end of it, I realized that technology had
advanced quite a bit, and there were a lot of new things that were available, which were
not available at the time Tesla did his work‖ [https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl
ayer_detailpage&v=tASY07r9AD0#t=708].
Slide 38
A very big change had occurred since the transistor – originally envisioned by Lilienfeld
as early as 1926 – had finally reached practical implementation in 1947, four years after
Tesla's passing. This had ushered in the era of electronics, and materials science, in
which semi-conductors – and doped materials, more generally – made a variety of new
devices and techniques possible
Slide 39
Smith incorporated into his experiments all manner of newer developments and devices:
from magnetostrictive materials, like Terfenol-D and Metglas, to the latest in gas
discharge tubes, varactors, thyristors, high frequency diodes, and – last but not least –
inexpensive, off-the-shelf switch-mode power supplies.
Slide 40
Yet, it was a humble, home-made, flat plate capacitor that he featured at center stage
when he demonstrated how astonishingly simple it could be to ―tap the ground‖ for power
―The simplicity of the Device – said Smith, in an e-mail, just prior to one such
demonstration – will cause many to take a second look at their research methods‖. [http:/
/freeenergynews.com/Directory/Events/2005/InventorsWeekend/]
Slide 41
―Most of the things that are in my devices which I demonstrate were put there because
people expect to see them, not because they need to be there‖. ['98 Office Interview
Beginning of New Bonus Footage – How to build your own device] [ Oh, and by the
way… ]
Slide 42
[And again, as he was about to start the 2005 demonstration:] "So we're going to actually
demonstrate the case here, so you can see it working with your own eyes. "It's not very
complicated; it's much simpler than anyone would ever have imagined, and the energy
which you're using is the ambient energy background which spins the Earth around". [htt

Slide 43
Current flows INTO system, FROM ground High Frequency pulses produce
―disturbance‖ in the Ambient Background
Slide 44
A schematic 3-D diagram appear-ing in Utkin.pdf, depicts a similar scenario. A
magnetostrictive transformer core picks up magnetic oscillations / pulses caused by high
frequency, (switch-mode) electrical current applied to one plate of a capacitor (via spark
gap) and de-livers them, enhanced, to secon-dary, for output. http://www.slideshare.net/
engpjk/ultrasimple-freeenergy-from-lorrie-matchett (top image) As the ―primary‖ plate of
the capacitor is impacted by the intermittent pulses from the coil (blue bottle shape), the
resulting oscillations on the ―secondary‖ plate will be ―picked up‖ by the magnetostrictive
core, as illustrated in the detail schematic of a comparable setup by Patrick Kelly (bottom
image). [3-D diagram produced by Zero Point, sourced from Utkin.pdf, page 13]
Slide 45
Similarities and differences between the 2005 demonstration gear and the 3-D diagram
are worth noting. To the left of the dotted line we see that both systems are functionally
identical (top arrangement uses plug-in unit as opposed to battery power. Black box
variable voltage power supply performs functions of PCB and coil in bottom diagram.
Functionality is nevertheless identical). To the right of the dotted line, however, there are
elements present in each of the set-ups which are NOT present in the other. Food for
thought?
Slide 46
But (perhaps more importantly): what, exactly, is a ―proper‖ earth ground, in Smith's
mind? [http://www.free-energy-info.tuks.nl/VladimirUtkin2.htm] Utkin's approach to the
integration of the two set-ups is the one suggested on the illustration itself: ―amperage‖ is
provided by ―a proper earth ground‖. While this is one possibility (a ground wire
apparently leading off near one end of the secondary), it's not the only option. Nor,
necessarily, the most appealing when it comes to promoting gain.
Slide 47
―Grounding is a relative sort of thing. It's that ―there's more of something here and less of
something here‖, so it's going to move between the more to the less, or something, 2001
Inventors Weekend - [https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&
v=W7GHqw7d1No#t=3106] Smith's capacitor ―trick‖ would appear to amount to
―agitating‖ the ambient background, while ―presenting‖ to it a region of space (the ―B‖
plate of the capacitor) whose density of negative charges (electrons) is, or appears to
be, lower than that of ambient. INSTANTLY, Nature moves to ―rebalance‖ the situation.
and it's that leg that's in between there that's your useful energy‖.
Slide 48
―It is important to note that approximately 70% of the Earth's exposed crustal portions
(surface) consist(s) of silicone-related non-metals (electron donors), and become(s) a
direct source of electrical energy when properly agitated‖. - Smith.pdf, page 38 [https://w
ww.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=pjMkfRiLA6E#t=663]
―Carbon-related substances and other non-metals, when subjected to friction, give up
negative electrical charges…‖ a direct source
Slide 49
Smith's concept of ―proper ground‖ appears to have been the diametrical OPPOSITE of
―conventional‖ ―proper ground‖. His devices RELIED on ―silicone-related non-metals‖ as
generous DONORS of NEGATIVE CHARGES. Silicone is another word for SAND, which
conventional ground connections quite specifically act to AVOID. But Smith was NOT
seeking to ―dissipate away‖ ―excess‖ / ―stray‖ / ―transient‖ currents or other ―undesired
charges‖. That Pesky ―Little‖ Matter of ―PROPER‖ GROUND
Slide 50
He was treating ground (both earth- and air-) as a SOURCE. He was literally and
unabashedly using (one might even say, manipulating) ground to TAP the planetary
system for Energy, in the form of ―negative charges‖ / electrons. While everyone else
seemed content to treat ground as a convenient DUMPING SITE and SINK, always at
hand to take undesired charges off their systems, our man could barely contain his
astonishment!
Slide 51
In his gentle old-timer's hushed tones, he was all but YELLING at the top of his lungs:
LOOKEE HERE, friends: all's you gotta do is TAP! What do you mean ―there's an energy
'shortage' ‖? What's WRONG with you, folks? Can't you see that such a massive sink is,
by definition, an equally massive REPOSITORY?
Slide 52
―The mindset of the professional Electrical Engineer is restricted to non-resonant and
iron-core coil resonant systems. [It fails to consider that] Ohm's Law, when applied to
resonant air-core induction systems, becomes system resistivity (impedance, Z). "Z"
becomes zero at resonance. ―With impedance being zero, the System grounding is
coupled directly into the Earth's immense electrical potential‖. - Smith.pdf, pg 48 [Note
that, in Smith terminology, "Resonant just simply means that you're flipping the
electrons"] – ['98 Office Interview, 18:10] Predictably, Smith insisted that, to fully grasp
what the real world had to offer, people needed to STEP OUTSIDE a constrained mode
of thinking
Slide 53
Smith was saying (and his devices were showing) that • There is a colossal (essentially,
limitless) amount of energy available to us, at our fingertips. • It is stored – in ―dormant‖,
primarily magnetic, form – in the ―ambient background‖; i.e., all around us. • Magnetic
and electrical forms of energy are intimately intertwined: one of them is never present
without the other. • It is not seriously difficult for us to ―tap‖ this vast source, given the
great diversity of electronic devices and specialty materials we have developed. •
Nature's energy storage medium is primarily magnetic, while our equipment is designed
and built for the electrical form of the stuff. We therefore need to convert one into the
other to get our hands on ―useful‖ energy.
Slide 54
Some of the things Smith demonstrated in the mid-'90s have become a fairly accepted
and ―fashionable‖ notion in the 2010's. They're being marketed as wireless power
transfer, wireless charging, resonant inductive charging, etc. But there's a difference:
Smith was not arbitrarily limiting himself to the TRANSFER or DISPLACEMENT of a
fixed quantity of electric energy from point A to point B (as wireless charging is content to
do) He was powering devices that allowed him to HARVEST (from the ―ambient
background‖) significantly MORE energy than it took to run them
Slide 55
Again: the function of the typical Smith device is NOT to MOVE a given quantity of
energy – in its electrical form – from point A to point B. What it's designed to do, is to set
the Ambient MAGNETIC Background into oscillation. Such an ―agitated‖ background
constitutes a (perpendicular) ―magnetic field flux of changing intensity‖ [as per Faraday]
which – by initiating induction in the system's ―intake‖ or secondary coils –
simultaneously does two things: a) triggers an INFLOW of energy into the system (from
the Ambient Magnetic Background), and b) CONVERTS that energy into its
ELECTRICAL form. [This, it should be noted, IS the way in which induction ―produces
electricity‖, or ―voltage‖, whenever and wherever it does it. Not just in the case of Smith's
devices, or in any particular instance]
Slide 56
Smith sharply attacks ―Present Methodology‖ because, he explains, Those Cumbersome
Behemoths DO THE SAME THING that his devices do, only… This REQUIRES untold
amounts of mechanical energy (which needs to be PAID FOR). in an Obscenely
Expensive and Antiquated way: by mechanically FORCING a magnetic field past coils of
wire, which naturally, and vigorously, REPEL IT !!
Slide 57
Just like Smith's much more ingenious, repulsion-free system, ALL THOSE CLUNKY
Rube Goldberg Contraptions ARE DOING is setting the Ambient Background into
magnetic oscillation, thereby triggering INDUCTION in their coil systems. IN BOTH
CASES, it is the INDUCTION that ―produces‖ the electricity. Which method would you
say MAKES THE MOST SENSE?
Slide 58
IN BOTH CASES, it is the INDUCTION that ―produces‖ the electricity. Having said that,
there IS a clear difference in favor of Smith's approach (aside from the ―minor detail‖ of
not having to ―pay in‖ LARGE amounts of mechanical energy ―to get into the game‖ of
obtaining electricity). Unlike its conventional counterpart, Smith's method targets, and
activates, HIGH FREQUENCY, RESONANT Induction
Slide 59
Hundreds of Thousands to Millions of Cycles per Second, together with impedance (Z) at
ZERO, allow these types of systems to DRAW IN energy from the endlessly abundant
Ambient Background (a.k.a., the Earth's Magnetic and Electrical fields) with the greatest
of ease. Resonant, High Frequency Induction is ON STEROIDS TURBOCHARGED
ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION
Slide 60
So we have TWO ―COMPETING‖ SYSTEMS ONE is INORDINATELY COMPLEX.
Plants associated with it are – surprise, surprise !! – VERY COSTLY to DESIGN and
BUILD. In addition, they are SEVERAL TIMES MORE expensive to OPERATE, over
their lifetimes, as they REQUIRE some form of ―CONSUMABLE‖ to be eaten up for
every second of use. In exchange for all that, this system makes sure to deliver AS
LITTLE ENERGY AS POSSIBLE by running at a snail's pace (50/60 cycles), and making
no attempt to take advantage of resonance.
Slide 61
THE OTHER SYSTEM Takes the ―radical‖ approach of relying upon BRAINS, not
BRAWN. SIMPLICITY is at its core, as Smith repeatedly demonstrated. Devices based
on it are VERY INEXPENSIVE to design and build (abundant supply of off-the-shelf
components and materials). It REQUIRES, as its sole ―CONSUMABLE‖, a small amount
of power, to set off, and sustain, a ―magnetic field flux of changing intensity‖. In
exchange for all that, it enables us to DRAW IN (help ourselves to) ―ANY REQUIRED
AMOUNT‖ of Energy from the Earth's Magnetic and Electrical Fields by running at HIGH
FREQUENCY, and fully exploiting the advantages of operating at RESONANCE.
Slide 62
SYSTEMS TWO Care to take your pick?
Slide 63
A word or two from SMITH on THEORY… (with terminology occasionally ―interpreted‖)

―[T]he key to unlimited energy, is Magnetic Resonance‖. Smith.pdf, page 16
Slide 65
―Non-linear and Open Systems are universally available, in Magnetic Resonance
Systems, Explosions of any sort [including Atomic Explosions], and Combustibles of any
type. Mechanical equivalents would be levers, pulleys and hydraulics. A highly obvious
example is the Piano, where the key impacts the one note, giving one sound level, which
resonates with its two side keys, providing a much higher sound level‖. Smith.pdf, pages
16, 17 – emphasis added [Smith is saying: no-one is shocked to see various forms of
gain, advantage, and amplification in physics… EXCEPT when it comes to Energy!]
Slide 66
―My Concept of the Forces of Nature differs from the conventional‖. ―It consists of a weak
and a strong force, each being additionally composed of electrical, magnetic and
gravitational (fields and waves). Any two of the three constitute the third member. Gravity
"B" of the weak force competes with humans on a daily basis. Gravity "A" of the strong
force is the force that holds the Solar System and the Universe in place. Energy from the
Electrons represents the weak force. Energy inside the Atom represents the strong force
'A' ". Smith.pdf, page 46
Slide 67
―As a source of electrical energy, non-ionic electron doublets exist in immense quantities
throughout the universe. Their origin is from the emanation of Solar Plasma. When

―One volts' worth of electrons, when cycled, yields one volts' worth of electricity. This can
be repeated continuously forever and it never depletes or diminishes the electrons in
question. They simply return to their air and/or earth source, waiting to do the whole
thing again and again‖. ―In coil systems, mag-netic and amperage are one package. This
sug-gests that electrons in their natural non-ionic state, exist as doublets. When pushed
apart by agitation, one spins right (yielding Volts-potential electricity) and the other spins
left (yielding Am-perage-magnetic ener-gy), one being more negative than the other‖.

that's required to disturb them. Smith.pdf, page 27

―My Concept of the Forces of Nature differs from the conventional‖. ―Weak force is
required to dislodge electrons, and strong force (atomic) to dislodge protons‖. ―Unless
dislodged, these particles are of little value in producing Conventional Electrical Energy‖.
Electrical Energy flow consists of a higher concentration of electrons moving to an area
of lesser concentration. ―Therefore, in conventional electrical energy production, the
particle of importance is the negative electron‖. Smith.pdf, pages 46, 47

ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM ENERGY:
Slide 71
―This Energy becomes useful when displaced from ambient background‖. [http://web.arc
hive.org/web/20010411040400/http://www.altenergy-pro.com/default.htm] ―Being other
than ambient, a pressure or potential [read: a voltage] develops, which needs
[spontaneously, naturally, seeks] to return to its back- ground‖. [Smith spells this as a
hyphenated word, which underscores ―ground‖]. ―This Leg between displacement and
equilibrium is then useful Energy‖.
Slide 72
The ―leg‖ is the interval or gradient that the ―disturbing‖ or ―dislodging‖ action has
created, between electrons that are now above or below the ambient level of potential,
and that level itself, which represents equilibrium, and toward which they will immediately
seek to return. When SMITH employs the expression ―useful energy‖, he is referring to
energy in its electrical (as opposed to magnetic) form. We have a wide range of
equipment designed and built to exploit energy in its electrical form, virtually none that
can employ magnetic energy directly As they do, our equipment can harvest or capture
the magnetic impulses they emit, by intercepting them ―at right angles.‖ (Electric
impulses, which are also emitted, tend to be lost as heat, instantly)
Slide 73
―Pulsating magnetic waves, when deflected, become electrical waves, and vice versa.
This is observed throughout nature and in man-made devices‖. [http://web.archive.org/w
eb/20010411040400/http://www.altenergy-pro.com/default.htm] ―Physics of useful
energy… … requires disturbing the ambient background. In Electrical Systems this
occurs when non-ionic electrons, present everywhere, are disturbed, spinning left and
right by alternating [most likely meaning ―pulsating‖, by rapidly switching power on & off]
the electro- magnetic wave environment present‖.
Slide 74
―Faraday was able to mathematically relate the rate of change of the magnetic field flux
with induced voltage‖ ―The greater the spin rate (frequency), the greater the
displacement from ambient‖ [http://web.archive.org/web/20010411040400/http://www.alt
energy-pro.com/default.htm] By way of illustration: the performance chart for Daytronic's
MP1A magnetic pickup transducer, at left, shows that voltage output increases with
speed (frequency). The SHORTER the interval of interaction, the HIGHER the induced
voltage. [http-//www.daytronic.com/sites/default/files/product-manual/TRCAT7-A1.pdf –
page 64] (i.e., the faster we switch input power on & off, the GREATER the VOLTAGE
Gradient we will obtain ‖between displacement and equilibrium‖. This is the energy we
can intercept and capture; our net GAIN in power).
Slide 75
―Electrons, when disturbed, first produce magnetic flux and then produce electrical flux
when they spin back to their normal position. Therefore any electron movement
produces above ambient energy, being over unity‖. - Smith.pdf, page 29 [See also: all of
page 32].
Slide 76
―The basic unit of electricity (the electron) upon encountering a moving magnetic field (or
wave) spins, giving off an electric impulse. When this impulse collapses, it spins back to
its natural position, giving off a magnetic impulse. Therefore, magnetic and electric are
two sides of the same coin. When the magnetic is pulsed, it yields electricity, and,
conversely, pulsing of the electrical side yields a magnetic field. Moving one in relation to
the other produces useful energy. [Smith, An Answer to America's Energy Deficit, 5th
Edition, 1997, page 64] [https://yadi.sk/d/xQaiHP4fPnJv3] When done consecutively,
each cycle pushes (current) forward, while pulling electrons into the system… in much
the same way that a water pump moves water. These electrons are obtained from the
Earth and air grounding".
Slide 77
―Ohmic resistance does not apply to Magnetic Resonance, which travels unrestricted for
great distances. Therefore, multitudes of electrons are disturbed, and their back-spin
translates magnetic- into usable electric energy‖. - Smith.pdf, page 17 ―Resonate
Magnetic Waves (Faraday's action at a distance) allows energy activation transfer to
remote points of usage‖. [http://web.archive.org/web/20010411040400/http://www.altene
rgy-pro.com/default.htm]
Slide 78
―In our everyday world, charged particles, such as electrons, move slowly through
matter, with a drift velocity of a fraction of a centimeter (or inch) per second, but fields
propagate at the speed of light - approximately 300 thousand kilometers (or 186
thousand miles) a second. The mundane speed difference between charged particles
and field quanta is on the order of one to a million, more or less. Maxwell's equations
relate (a) the presence and movement of charged particles with (b) the generation of
fields. Those fields can then affect the force on – and can then move – other slowly
moving charged particles. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_field] [ Although
Smith alludes to ―waves‖, the effects he describes – ―remote activation‖, ―action at a
distance‖ – are closer to those of a field, which propagates at the speed of light ]
Slide 79
―Excited Electrons at point "A", the Sun, (including the Galaxy and Cosmos) do not travel
to point "B", the Earth. However, a corresponding action occurs at point "B". The
Electrons being disturbed at the Central Power Plant, in the same manner, excite the
Electrons at Your House, upon switching into an Earth grounding (known as 'flip-ping the
switch')‖. Smith.pdf, pg 22 ―When you ground your system by flipping the wall switch,
you use your own electrons. In closed energy systems, electrons communicate with, and
replicate, the activity of the overbalanced potential, when provided with Earth- and or Air
Groundings‖. - Smith.pdf, pg 47 Kirschblut, Jjbeard, Wikimedia, Public Domain, https://co

Slide 80
"It's the point A and point B thing, where you get electrons "jumping up and down" at
point A, and "they do not go from point A to point B" [meaning they're not "taken" from
one place to "feed" the other]. At point B they "jump up and down" in resonance to the
ones at point A. That's your resonant energy type thing‖. ―And it's highly obvious, and…
people will tell you 'you can't do this sort of thing', but you've already seen one example
here when I got shocked just a minute ago. And those that are skeptical about it, I invite
you to come here and touch the thing… and tell us that it's not working !!‖ [Laughter] [htt

Slide 81
Smith is ADAMANT that ALL a power station EVER DOES is SET UP an OSCILLATING
FIELD, at an ultra-low frequency of 50/60 Hz. The ―disturbance‖ produced by forcing a
magnetic field past coils of wire causes electrons in- and around the station to be
―flipped.‖ These electrons' ―song and dance‖ is INSTANTANEOUSLY TRANSMITTED or
conveyed to electrons elsewhere (in one's home, at a factory, etc) WHEN devices in
those remote locations are CONNECTED to GROUND. The signal is most efficiently
conveyed by ground (NOT necessarily earth ground proper; air ground will also work),
and is not effective-ly received without the benefit of this. No ground, no ―action‖. Link
the device to ground (by flipping the switch to ―ON‖) and, AT ONCE, electrons in- and
around the device at the remote location begin to perform the EXACT SAME ―song and
dance‖ the electrons at the station are performing. Because the systems they are a part
of are TUNED to (designed to operate at) the EXACT SAME frequency the power
system ―emits‖: 50/60 Hz.
Slide 82
It is this field, says Smith (implicitly), that excites ―Electrons at Your House‖ when a
connection to ground is made. He unfortunately, and somewhat misleadingly, refers to it
as resonate magnetic waves, or, also, as magnetic resonance. ―There is an AC magnetic
field everywhere in developed areas…‖ [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_loop_(elect
ricity)] [rather evidently caused by some nearby Power Station (and / or its buried
current-carrying cables) ―disturbing‖ electrons at ―AC‖ frequency (50/60 Hz)]. [This is
consistent with Smith's view that fields only apply below 20 KHz. "Below 20,000 Hertz
per second (sic) = Fields Greater than 20,000 Hertz per second (sic) = Waves (radio
frequency)". (Donald Lee Smith, An Answer to America's Energy Deficit, 5th Edition,
1997, page 71)]
Slide 83
Smith's devices are compact, custom-sized ―disturbers‖ / exciters meant for the end user
to OWN, and operate. They are mini, stand-alone, ―power stations,‖ driven by a small
portion of the very electron ―activity‖ they trigger. Ergo, no need (or reason) to pay
anyone any ―charges‖ based on the amount of time they are in use, or the number of
electrons they push through one's electrical devices and appliances, to make them work!

Smith's very refined contribution – the Capacitor Transformer, embodied in his ―Ambient
Energy Generator‖, which is presented at the very end of this section – effectively makes
some of the early interpretations of his devices presented in the following slides obsolete
(notable case in point, Device 5). Valid methods, interesting in themselves – useful,
perhaps, in some specific situation – but ultimately no match for Smith's best solution.

Slide 87
At the closing of the 1998 Office Interview recorded by Zero Point Entertainment, [https://
www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=Mnoy2D4wuf8#t=2149]
Smith presents a simple, straightforward, example of his approach. In the clip, he
sketches the functional diagram of an ultra-easy version of his system [―you don't have
to know what you're doing, at all…‖, he says] beginning with the ―wireless powering‖
procedure.
Slide 88
A wire runs from the HVM, in-and-out of L-1's air core a couple of times, and back to the
HVM. The interaction between the powering device and the device being powered is,
thus, A non-trivial detail in a scheme of this type is the use of multi-strand wire with
individually isolated (enameled) strands. This will give rise to mutual induction between
the strands, greatly intensifying the magnetic field emitted by the wire. • a battery at
bottom left • a High Voltage Module (HVM; a switch-mode neon sign power supply) at
top left, and • an L-1 coil (part of the device being powered) at top right. Smith's hand-
drawn diagram shows purely through the magnetic medium. Magnetic flux pulsating off
of the wire is what triggers induction in L-1. ―None of the electrons‖ leave the HVM's
circuit, Smith remarks.
Slide 89
A somewhat similar case is that of the feedback loop ―triangulated‖ via the magnetic
domain, to eliminate any possibility of the loop resulting in a short-circuit. Smith
comments that this is ―one of five or six different ways‖ he has of making his devices
self-powered, by diverting part of the gain ―harvested‖ from ―the ambient background‖ [or
―the Earth's magnetic and electrical fields‖, two expressions he uses somewhat
interchangeably] to the input of the circuit.
Slide 90
"Note: If the PLUS Connector (2) wire's length [i.e., the length of the connector marked
2] is a wave length component [even fraction, such as 1/4] of the L-6 or L-7's frequency,
the battery will recharge itself at the same time it is being used. To see this, substitute
[insert, interpose] two opposing light emitting diodes. They show the direction the
electrons are moving. DC electrons out and radio frequency electrons into the battery".

'96 Tesla Symposium, Part 4 [1:16] "OK, you see something here which people say can't
happen. If you notice the double coil system… ["twin coils" ―0‖ & ―1‖, mounted on the
yellowish-brown tube] [Device 3]. ―This is the active one going through here [coil ―0‖, on
the left, into which the cable from the capacitor bank runs] and going out to the
transformers‖ [meaning the step-down, output transformers (not present in the picture,
NOR in this part of the device - they're mounted on a separate board). All we see is a
connector block (bottom picture)]. ―And this one [coil ―1‖] is not "hooked into the system"
"except magnetically" and it becomes… it has the same "activity" [electrical output] as
this one [coil ―0‖] even though it is not hooked into… "due to the magnetic flux" - uh -
"working on it". So what that tells you is this separate coil here [again, coil ―1‖, NOT
_electrically_ connected to the circuit] "is not using any energy" [from the circuit] but it's
generating energy which you can charge your… you can keep your batteries charged
with". (Comments [ i ], quotation marks, underscores, added). Want Your Device To

Circuit by ―triangulating‖ through the Magnetic Domain
Slide 92
Mere linear repetition is enough to produce substantial results. To the extent that
―propagation‖ can take place from coil 0 to its twin, coil 1 ( ) [as we've just seen], then it
can just as easily ―jump‖ again from coil 1 to coil 2 ( ), and from coil 0 to coil -1 ( )… and
on and on, more or less indefinitely, in both directions. In such a sequence, only coil 0 is
receiving power from the source. At this point it is, perhaps, useful to underscore the
RADICAL SIMPLICITY of this essential process at the heart of the Smith approach. -1 -1
1 2 0 -1
Slide 93
The process is optimized and enhanced by the fact that the coils are near-exact twins of
one another, and by the inten-sity of the repeated, sharp, high-frequency cut-off action.
What's driving those secondary, isolated coils, is emphatic-ally NOT your grandfather's
―kinder, gentler‖, slowpoke, 50/60 Hz oscillating magnetic field. This method that Smith
employs to achieve self-sustained operation of a device is not, in itself, anything new. It
is tried and true ISOLATION TRANSFORMER TECHNOLOGY What Smith does is he
TURBOCHARGES IT by creating an environment of HIGH INTENSITY FLUCTUATION
in which to deploy it
Slide 94
Smith's clear understanding of the ability to ―harvest‖ energy from ―the ambient
background‖ (a favorite expression of his) by driving it into intense magnetic oscillations
is exemplified in one of the inventor's earliest prototypes, known as Device 2. The unit is
designed around a Tesla Coil (at center). The wider diameter inductor at the bottom
(driven by the neon sign power supply, next to the Danger sign) acts as the primary. The
taller secondary ―picks up‖ the oscillations emitted by the primary, and – in turn – sets off
additional oscillations of its own, which are ―picked up‖ by the identical coils in the
periphery. All four secondaries are now ―harvesting‖ electricity from the ―ambient‖. The
knobbed devices linked to each of the secondaries provide fine-tuning of frequency.
Care is taken to insure that the respective overall lengths of primary and secondary(ies)
are in whole number proportions to one another (―even multiples or dividers‖, in
―Smithspeak‖)

BOTH conduits wrap around the armature. In normal use, one draws current from the
power supply at top left, while the antenna ―makes‖ fresh electricity from magnetic

The Culprit Plasma Tube is operating in the background. The intermittent pulses it puts
out are picked up by the coil whose ends are terminated as a ―rabbit ears‖ antenna,
triggering induction, and, thus, active current production. Inset: at the start of the
presentation, Smith uses a sensor to reveal the pulsating field being emitted by the
plasma tube. [ We can't see, hear, feel or smell magnetic flux. We thus tend to foolishly
think and act as though IT WASN'T THERE… ]
Slide 102
Now that the plasma tube has shown itself capable of activating ONE Suitcase Device
Transformer halfway across the room, The ―Highly Obvious‖ Question WHAT's to STOP
IT from doing THE SAME with another 5, 10, or 100 IDENTICAL devices scattered about
the place?
Slide 103
Smith, at the 2001 Inventors' Weekend: ―So, that magnetic energy that we were talking
about over here, [earlier in the presentation] it's all over the area‖. As a matter of fact,
[Note that this is not, in any way, a ―wild claim‖. We know that an electromagnetic field
will propagate at the speed of light, which is to say 300,000 km/sec. So it will spread
throughout the neighborhood (and around the globe, for that matter) ―instantly‖.
Moreover, AN ENTIRE BRANCH of electrical engineering – known as EMC, for
―electromagnetic compatibility‖ – is solely devoted to keeping such ―runaway‖ fields
contained and ―under control‖]. As we have seen, it is the way in which Device 2
operates. The ―Highly Obvious‖ Answer? Nothing! you can go anywhere in the
neighborhood and if you have another coil that's tuned to that same frequency it will
generate the same amount of electricity as the one that's in the center here‖.
Slide 104
For whatever reason, Smith's devices have rarely appeared in public, or in pictures, with
their indispensable Electromagnetic Shields (so-called Faraday Cages). These images
of an early prototype show that they were, indeed, equipped with them, as one would
expect.
Slide 105
O.K., that was kind'a fun! But, what was it you were saying about capacitors (once
known as ―condensers‖) being so great and special?
Slide 106
You store less energy in the condenser than in the gun [―a large gun which hurls a
projectile a distance of 18 or 20 miles‖] BUT whereas the gun will discharge … in 1/50th
of a second, a condenser can discharge the energy in 1 millionth of this time TESLA:
The condenser is the most wonderful electrical instrument [Tesla on His Work With
Alternating Currents, by L.I. Anderson, 1992, pp. 112-113], cited in ―Tesla's Egg of

Patent # 568179; TESLA, 1896 - Method of And Apparatus for Producing Currents Of

Slide 107
What TESLA is highlighting in that passage is that – due to their UNIQUE Disruptive
Discharge capability – capacitors are able to extract, or deliver, a maximum of POWER
out of a given amount of ENERGY
Slide 108
TESLA's Patent # 568,177 – June 17, 1896 - http://www.freepatentsonline.com/568177.
pdf In an INSIGHTFUL blog entry around 2007, an individual by the name of Persson
presented an interpretation of TESLA's Ozone Making Machine patent, in which a
CAPACITOR was being employed JUST LIKE TESLA HAD INDICATED; namely, as a
virtual HYPERCANNON

H E L O W L Y C A P A C I T O R ! ! ! Persson's modern-style schematic, above,
showed that – through an ingenious use of switching – TESLA was able to repeatedly
CHARGE capacitor L to a high voltage, then DISRUPTIVELY DISCHARGE IT into
Primary Coil M. The KEY detail, however, was Power (in Watts) = Voltage x Amperage.
Amperage = Voltage / Resistance Power is, then, Voltage SQUARED over Resistance
the VERY LOW RESISTANCE path between L and M. This MASSIVELY BOOSTED the
POWER being delivered to the coil.
Slide 110
Let's look at Device 3. Its Input Section, at left, shows TWO 4,000WVDC capacitors. If
employed as a bank, in series, the voltage doubles to 8,000. The spark gap can
repeatedly discharge the bank – very safely – at 50% of that value: the original
4,000VDC. At a hypothetical resis-tance of 1,000 Ohm, the POWER hitting the Pri-mary
Coil would then be: 4,000V x 4,000V / 1,000 Ohm = 16,000 W Inset: detail of Gas

Slide 111
• 480V capacitor C-1, typically triggered by a Spark Gap1, • repeatedly discharging into
the Primary Coil of the Output Transformer, L-2, over a link of 8 Ohm resistance. • V / R
yields 60 as the value for amperage. The result is a series of impulses being delivered to
the Primary Coil, L2, whose power / intensity is Another case: the above circuit diagram,
from Smith's ―Resonate Electromagnetic Power System‖ [(R.E.P.S.) - Smith.pdf, page
75] shows 28.8 Kw [ 480 Volts x 60 Amps = 28,800 W ] [ 1No spark gap appears in the
schematic, which is followed by a statement declaring that ―the information herein given
is incomplete‖. The capacitor is kept as small as possible. That way, it will recharge and
re-fire very fast, to make the ―perceived‖ effect at the receiv-ing end tantamount to a
continuous flow of power, as in a switch-mode power supply ]
Slide 112
Here's a thought: TWO of the R.E.P.S. circuits just shown (or even ONE, if the
resistance is reduced to 4 Ohm) will provide AS MUCH POWER as these Chinese

drawback of the diesel-powered tractors (versus their hypothetical Ambient-powered
electrical counterparts) is the BRUTAL cost of OPERATING the fuel guzzlers. For an
EXAMPLE: Take a WEICHAI-DEUTZ 48 Kw (~64 HP) diesel-powered generator set: It
will cost you about U$S 7,500 to BUY. OPERATING it, though, will turn out to be quite a
bit MORE EXPENSIVE. Say you wish to run it for JUST 8 hours a day, at 75% of its
rated power (i.e., at 36 KW output), and only 250 days a year. At a cost of 80 US cents a
liter, and a consumption rate of 10 liters an hour, that'll be: 0.8$ x 10 x 8 x 250 = U$S

UTKIN: While creating the resonant mode, it is important to create conditions for
discharging the capacitor at the desired frequency. The schematics for providing such
conditions are fairly simple: The higher the voltage of the source and the narrower the
spark gap, the higher the frequency of the spark will be (capacitor discharge). A voltage
inverter for cold cathode neon lamps, provided with a voltage controller (dimmer), can be
used as a simple high voltage power supply. The output of the inverter is connected to
the rectifier to charge the capacitor and generate the electro-radiant effect. The dimmer
regulates the voltage and as a result, the frequency of the sparks… Electro Radiant

Slide 119
UTKIN on how TESLA suggested loading a Capacitor to an ―Impossible‖ Level (NOT the
_exact_ same configuration as Device 5) The charging system is screened, or "blinded",
to use the terminology of Mr. Tesla, so that it cannot ―see‖ the presence of the charge in
the capacitor. To accomplish this, one end of a capacitor is connected to the ground and
the other end is connected to the high-energy coil, the second end of which is free. After
connecting to this higher energy level from the energising coil, electrons from the ground
can charge a capacitor to a very high level. In this case, the charging system does not
"see" what charge is already in a capacitor. Each pulse is treated as if it were the first
pulse ever generated. Thus, the capacitor can reach a higher energy level than (that) of
the source itself. After the accumulation of the energy, it is discharged to the load
through the discharge spark gap. After that, the process is repeated again and again
indefinitely …" "[W]e need to charge the capacitor circuit to an energy level which is
greater than that of the source energy itself. At first glance, this appears to be an
impossible task, but the problem is actually solved quite simply. http://www.free-energy-i

TESLA on Disruptive Discharge ―When the condensers are charged to a certain
potential, the air, or insulating space, gives way and a disruptive discharge occurs. There
is then a sudden rush of current and generally a large portion of accumulated electrical
energy spends itself. The condensers are thereupon quickly charged and the same
process is repeated in more or less rapid succession‖. [TESLA, in Commerford Martin,
The Inventions, Researches, page 304 – emphasis added] ―This method of conversion
… involves the employment of no mechanical devices of any kind, [I]t allows of obtaining
currents of any desired frequency from an ordinary circuit, direct or alternating. The
frequency of the fundamental discharges depending on the relative rates of supply and
dissipation can be readily varied within wide limits, by simple adjustments of these
quantities, and the frequency of the superimposed vibration by the determination of the
capacity, self-induction and resistance of the circuit. The potential of the currents, again,
may be raised as high as any insulation is capable of withstanding safely by combining
capacity and self-induction or by induction in a secondary, which need have but
comparatively few turns‖. [TESLA, in Commerford Martin, The Inventions, Researches,
page 318 – emphasis added] a sustained BARRAGE of AMPLIFIED POWER By
applying Disruptive Discharge in rapid-fire repetition, capacitors are able to deliver
Slide 121
[W]hen working with currents discharging disruptively, the element chiefly to be
considered is not the frequency, as a student might be apt to believe, but the rate of
change per unit of time. With low frequencies in a certain measure the same effects may
be obtained as with high frequencies, provided the rate of change is sufficiently great.
TESLA adjusting apparatus in his Lab (1916) [http://teslauniverse.com] [TESLA, in
Commerford Martin, The Inventions, Researches, page 317 – emphasis added Notice
that the Great Master stands here on the shoulders of the earlier Great Master: rate of
change had been the second major observation strongly highlighted by Faraday]
Slide 122
This statement by Tesla invites a pause to more carefully examine our use of the term
―frequency‖. We employ it indistinctly to refer to the swing from positive to negative in an
AC current, on the one hand, and to the cutoff-and-restart of the flow of current that
certain types of devices – such as switch mode power supplies -- produce, on the other.
This is, at best, misleading. The two phenomena are not of the same nature, physically.
In the first case, there is what one might describe as a ―soft‖, or ―smooth‖ passage from
positive to negative, in which the instant of transition has virtually zero duration and / or
amplitude. In the second case, there is an actual interruption (an interval of ―silence‖,
one might call it), and the transition is deliberately abrupt. It is the abruptness itself (says
Tesla, referring to it as ―the rate of change‖) that ―matters‖ or makes a difference. Abrupt
(disruptive) transitions produce a specific effect that ―smooth‖ or gradual transitions DO
NOT. In this sense, a ―current‖ that is made up of a (very rapid) sequence of pulses
(such as that produced by a switch-mode device) is not ―the same animal‖ as a
sinusoidal AC current, NO MATTER HOW HIGH the frequency of this last one may
become. Yes, indeed, the sharpness of the transition from positive to negative (and vice
versa) in an AC current will necessarily increase with frequency (there is less time in
which to produce it) but there is no actual STOP, pause, RESTART, as in a switch-mode
process. Momentary inrush current is one effect that one can surmise is triggered, over
and over, by the repeated restarts, which are not present in the case of the AC.
Slide 123
MAGNETOSTRICTION As mentioned earlier, another of Smith's techniques was to
enhance the intensity of magnetic flux pulses that his devices could deliver, by
employing magnetostrictive materials, such as Terfenol-D and Metglas. Side note: an
interesting Lecture on Magnetostriction Effect [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kb_uB
3GXGwg] - Atul Pednekar, YouTube In this unit, a number of flat plate capacitors are
traversed by a Terfenol-D rod, which amplifies pulses emitted by the electromagnetic coil
wrapped around it (itself being driven by a signal generator or neon sign power supply).
Intense induction is triggered on the plates, whose resulting electrical output –
aggregated and collected via the connectors at the top – is delivered into a heavy duty
capacitor.
Slide 124
UTKIN's depiction of this type of device's energy flow and scheme of operation. [http://w
ww.free-energy-info.co.uk/VladimirUtkin.pdf-page 18] The coil marked ―2‖, through which
fast intermittent pulses of current are driven, emits electromagnetic flux which is
intensified by the magnetostrictive dipole (long yellow element, marked 1). Emanations
from the dipole flow from South to North, impacting the plates, and causing induction.
Smith's Magnetostrictive Terfenol-D Device is an evolved version of his earlier Plasma
Tube prototype The Dipole at right angle allows the magnetic flux surrounding it to
intercept the capacitor plate, or plates, at right angles. The electrons present are spun in
such a way that the electrical component of the electrons is collected by the capacitor
plates. Essential parts are the South and North component of an active Dipole.
Smith.pdf, page 11
Slide 125
―Taken at right angles, the Magnetic Dipole provides an unlimited source of electrical
energy‖ [i.e., for as long as you can have a pulsating dipole – such as a rod of Terfenol-
D – driving wave after wave of magnetic flux through the plates of a device like the one
just seen, at 90 degrees to the plane of the plates, the latter will continue to experience
induction and deliver electricity. [Smith uses the expressions ―right angle component‖
and ―taken at right angles‖ to say what Faraday said: induction takes place (and an
electrical voltage is produced) whenever a magnetic field flux (of changing intensity) is
acting perpendicularly upon a conductor] Moreover: since they'll be delivering it in much
greater quantities than it takes to power the driver pumping magnetic flux into the rod, it
is fair to conclude that…] ―Magnetic Resonance Energy clearly amplifies itself,
demonstrating more energy out, than in‖. ―The right angle component which the
magnetic flux provides, translates into useful electrical energy‖. Smith.pdf, pages 16, 17

Slide 126
A Tesla Coil is wrapped around the core (red primary wound on-top-of asymmetrical /
offset secondary). Pulses from the Tesla Coil ―race‖ around the core, ―cyclotron-style‖,
inducing voltage in additional secondaries (output coils) like the one at top right. Smith:
―It's a cyclotron type deal, and once you get the electrical field [one would think he
means the magnetic pulses] circulating in that closed system there, you can put other
coils around it [i.e., secondaries, for output] however many of them you want, and you're
not taking electricity… none of the electricity "that started out in the system" "ever gets
through it" [in plain English: there's no _electrical_ connection between the source
driving the primary, and the secondary(ies). It's the "agitation" of the magnetic field that
causes induction in the secondaries, which put out ―newly created‖ electricity, ―freshly
harvested‖ from the intense oscillation of the ―ambient background‖]. Another example of
a Smith-designed Magnetostrictive unit is Device 6 (the Brazil Prototype), a Cobalt-
Nickel-Iron toroidal system [https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&

note that Stan Meyer, best known for his water-gas fueled VW Dune Buggy, was also
working on an electrical generator, whose scheme of operation was quite similar to that
of Smith's Device 6 (minus the Tesla Coil and the magnetostrictive material). In Meyer's
case, the numerous secondaries (seen here separated by white plastic tabs) were

Intriguingly, though, he does not appear to ha-ve tested the wrapping of coils as
secondaries around the wires carrying all that amper-age (i.e., the way the amp meter
clamps around the thick, multi-stranded wires). Smith's ―contention‖ is you can do
PRECISE-LY that, because the-re's a magnetic PUL-SE running around the loop, which

over-unity device produces energy at radio frequencies which range into the megahertz

Slide 132
THEN he would have been jolting one plate of the capacitor bank with 30,000 Volts (at
200 Amps), and ―catching the rebound‖ (i.e., intercepting / ―detouring‖ the resulting,
induced ―surge‖, headed for the other plate of his capacitor bank), presumably by way of
an ultra robust ground connector, equipped with a very powerful varactor (or a number of
such devices) whose function would be to REGULATE (LIMIT) both the voltage AND the
amperage that would be allowed BACK INTO the circuit, to power the OUTPUT stage of
the unit. IF Smith was operating this device in the manner that he demonstrated in 2005
and 2006, Input Stage: IF Voltage is 30,000, THEN, for Amperage to be 200, Resistance
has to be 150 Ohm. Looked at in this way, the POWER delivered to the capacitor bank
by each pulse is: 30,000 V x 200 A = 6 MegaWatts
Slide 133
ERIC P. DOLLARD – History and Theory of Electricity ―Tesla was going to send an
electrical pulse into the Earth; it would bounce off the inside of the Earth and come back
at a certain time with a certain increase or decrease in energy level. And he was going to
continue this process in microsecond groups (grooves?) as these 50 Kilocycle waves are
echoing into the planet. … So when Tesla closed the switch, after all the experiments
and tests, he produced for a period of about, maybe, one minute a standing lightning bolt
at the terminal of this giant transformer on the building that contained it. Not just one
pop, but an almost standing lightning bolt, modulated at about 5,000 cycles a second
[likely meant to say 50,000] from his capacitor discharge switch, so the sound must have
been something that was unfathomable to describe". - History and Theory of Electricity [

4. Wind the coil with 10 to 15 turns of wire and leave about 3 feet (1 m) of cable spare at
each end of the coil. Device 4, a.k.a. Device 7 The Illumna-Storm Plasma Ball Unit 1.
Substitute a Plasma Globe such as Radio Shack's "Illumna-Storm" for the source-
resonant induction system. It will have about 400 milligauss of magnetic induction. One
milligauss is equal to 100 volts worth of magnetic induction. - Smith.pdf, page 73 … 3.
Get about 30 feet (10 m) of Jumbo-Speaker Cable and separate the two strands. …
(PJK Note: "Jumbo-Speaker Cable" is a vague term as that cable comes in many
varieties, with anything from a few, to over 500 strands in each core. As Don points out
that the output power increases with each turn of wire, it is distinctly possible that each of
these strands acts the same as individual insulated turns which have been connected in
parallel, so a 500-strand cable may well be far more effective than a cable with just a few
strands). (page 74)
Slide 135
TPUBruce, 2013 - ―I want to discuss the magnetic field of a straight wire. Because it's a
transmission line, not a solenoid, we have a different formula for the motional EMF. This
formula [E = BLv] is really the formula that applies to our multi-strands, or this
transmission line. B is magnetic field strength in Tesla, L is length in meters, and v is
velocity at which the magnetic field travels along the wire, in meters per second‖. WHY
would Smith specifically suggest leaving a certain length of wire ―spare‖ at each end of
the coil? In a series he did on the Steven Mark Toroidal Power Unit, [ https://www.youtub

TPUBruce gives us one possible idea
Slide 136
The goal would appear to be quite similar to what we saw in the case of the R.E.P.S.:
short/sharp pulses, delivered over a VERY LOW RESISTANCE ―path‖ translate into
HIGH POWER impulses ―at the receiving end‖; in this case, the diode bridge. [Comment:
In Bruce's example, the multi-strand wire contains 40 strands (PJ Kelly – previous slide –
suggested 500: even better). They experience mutual and recpirocal inductance as the
magnetic wave travels along them at high velocity. The fields induced in each of the
wires ADD UP. This is because the strands are INDIVIDUALLY INSULATED and IN
PARALLEL. You get the equivalent magnetic inductance of a single strand _40 times
longer_ BUT without the DRAG (electric resistance) which would tend to increase
―exponentially‖ as the length of an individual strand extended further and further].
TPUBruce continues: ―But here's the best part: the formula for RESISTORS in parallel
applies to individually insulated wires in parallel. And what it does is it DIVIDES and
DIVIDES and DIVIDES the more resistors (or wires) that make up the array. 1 / R-sub-T
= 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3…1/Rn. This turns our multi-stranded wire into a virtual SUPER-
CONDUCTOR at room temperature. 40 strands of equal diameter and material; ergo
equal resistance (??-poor audio). Simply divide one strand's resistance by 40, and that
will be the total resistance for the 'bundle' ‖.
Slide 137
A disk coated with neodymium powder on both sides, and perforated around the
perimeter, rotates in between twin stacks of coin-shaped neodymium magnets. Around
these is wrapped a coil of multi-stranded copper wire. As seen at top left, the wire runs
continuously, forming a ―split secondary‖, like the one on Device 3. [ A mid-point ground
(although not shown) appears likely.. ] As the coated areas of the rotor ―cut‖ the flux
linking the stacks, the flux field is ―disturbed‖, triggering intense induction in the wire.
Eight individual stack-coil combinations form the unit. Device 9 (the rotating disk unit)
works very much like the magnetic pickup transducer that we saw earlier.
Slide 138
―Units of measurement used to define flux fields include: Gauss (one unit = 100,000
volts)‖ Smith.pdf, page 38 Now, let's see: How much is 12,000 x 100,000? Oops! Could
we really be talking 1,200,000,000 Volts? What did you say the Induced Voltage was,
again? As shown above, it measures 84 x 58 x 64 mm, with a 55 mm rotating disk, and
two stacks of 6–to–8 15 mm x 3 mm Neodymium magnets. Coils not shown. (For proof
of concept, one magnet-coil set is enough) side view top view ―Device 9, Jr‖, a very small
and inexpensive rig, can be built to test Smith's stunning claim about his rotary disk unit
– that it puts out 400 Kw (see Smith.pdf, page 69).
Slide 139
Then again, How about placing a little toroidal inductor in the gap between the magnets
(North facing North, South facing South), then ―pulsating‖ it by means of a switch-mode
power supply? We want to DO AWAY with moving parts! A set of 10 (ten) 12-volt, 3 Amp
inductors, 14mm in diameter, can be had for less than U$D 2.50

or c) a combination of a and b: wireless connection involving armature(s) around which
coils deployed as antennas (―Suitcase Device‖-style) would be installed, to send and/or
receive the pulses. Output coils / secondaries should systematically be built as split
inductor-capacitors, with a midpoint ground. Self-resonance of these should be sought,
and implemented wherever possible. (At a given frequency, inductive reactance will
match and cancel out capacitive reactance, making impedance effectively zero).

Earth, despite "common" being a more appropriate term for such a connection.This is
usually a large conductor attached to one side of the power supply (such as the "ground
plane" on a printed circuit board) which serves as the common return path for current
from many different components in the circuit. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_(elec
tricity)] ---- CHASSIS GROUND, "Non-true-ground" Ground In a traditional automobile
[low energy] ignition system and most cylindrical coils, the BAT terminal connects to the
+12V supply and the DEC terminal connects to a special rotary switch inside the
distributor that is driven by the cam shaft. This switch connects the coil to the chassis
ground when a spark is needed. [http://users.silenceisdefeat.net/~lgtngstk/Sites/Circuits/I

Useful electrical energy is obtained by grounding into the Earth's non-metal crust and
into its atmosphere as a natural source of electrons. - Smith.pdf, pg 45 ---- Excited
Electrons at point "A", the Sun, (including the Galaxy and Cosmos) do not travel to point
"B", the Earth. However, a corresponding action occurs at point "B". The Electrons being
disturbed at the Central Power Plant, in the same manner excite the Electrons at Your
House, upon switching into an Earth grounding (known as "flipping the switch"). Page 22
When you ground your system by flipping the wall switch, you use your own electrons. In
closed energy systems, electrons communicate with and replicate the activity of the
overbalanced potential, when provided with Earth and or Air Groundings. - Smith.pdf, pg

when a connection to ground is made. His units are smaller, custom-sized ―disturbers‖ /
exciters that one OWNS, and operates. They are powered by the very electron ―activity‖
they trigger. Ergo, no need to pay anyone any charges based on the amount of time they
are in use, or the number of electrons they cause to flow through one's electrical devices

"E.M.F's are generated by devices that separate charge. A familiar example is the
battery, which utilizes chemical forces to separate charge. Other examples include the
heating of a thermocouple, exposure of a photovoltaic cell to incident light, or the rubbing
together of different materials (electrostatic charge separation). Electric fields are also
produced by time varying magnetic fields. This principle is extensively exploited to
produce conventional electric power in the utility industry". Floyd A. "Sparky" Sweet

―Jumbo Speaker‖ / Multi-Strand Wire [L]osses due to the resistance of the circuits, it is
impossible to obviate them entirely, but they can be reduced to a minimum by a proper
selection of the dimensions of the circuits and by the employment of thin conductors in
the form of strands. [i.e., make the conductor "oversize", but do it using Multi-Strand
wiring] [TESLA, in Commerford Martin, The Inventions, Researches, page 310] ---- Very
high frequency currents tend to flow not evenly in the whole cross-section of the wire, but
only on the surface ["skin effect"]. Therefore multi-stranded wire creates more surface
area for the high frequency currents to flow, hence lower impedance. [Smith's "speaker

Slide 3
In February, 2004 – at the age of 75, and in failing health after having suffered several
strokes – retired petroleum geologist Donald Lee Smith produced a pair of jpeg files that
presented an extraordinarily simple invention. The value and ultimate impact of the
device would be hard to overstate. Being extremely simple, it is the epitome of reliability;
yet, it is no less brilliant in the fact that it re-purposes existing technology, which makes it
very inexpensive to build. The Ambient Energy Generator While he called it it might best
be described as an ―Energy Intake Valve‖.

Slide 4
The next two slides present a facsimile of the original jpeg files, followed by a brief
description of the process of energy harvesting that the invention is designed to enable.
References to ―the load‖ indicate a device, such as a lamp or a motor, that requires
electricity to operate. to draw energy, in directly usable form, (as electricity) But, more
significantly, it provides us with a way ―straight out of the surrounding environment‖.

2. INCOMING ―Pathway‖ (Reaction From Ambient / Ground). DIODE On This Line ONLY
Allows Energy INTO Plate ―E‖. 3. OUTGOING ―Pathway‖ (To Ground, via primary coil of
Transformer, whose secondary coil powers the Load). DIODE On This Line ONLY
Allows Energy OUT of Plate ―E‖. 4. Energy flows (is ―pumped‖, Smith says) FROM the
Ambient, through the plate, TO the Load (via Transformer & an adjustable Ground
connection). 1. A VOLTAGE is applied to ONE SIDE ONLY… (Plate ―A‖) ―It's much
simpler than anyone would ever have imagined…‖ (Smith, in 2005) Smith's Diagram of
what he called the Ambient Energy Generator "The capacitor transformer opens the door
to an endless source of useful energy".
Slide 7
2. - In the text that accompanies his diagram, the inventor indicates that ‖the only limit on
the output is the capacitor size‖. (Rule of thumb: 1 Farad = 1 Kilowatt; he cites 400). The
statement obviously refers to the output of an individual device (and Smith repeatedly
states that these units should be custom-designed to ―feed‖ a specific application). Even
then, given that capacitors are regularly deployed in multiple-unit combinations, or
―banks‖, one can safely conclude that there is no hard-and-fast limit on output. 1. - The
contraption works by ―draining‖ all Ambient-supplied charges from plate ―E‖ to ground
through the primary coil of a transformer, whose secondary coil powers the load. This
―leakage‖ to ground compels the Ambient to constantly deliver additional charges into
plate ―E‖. Because ―E‖ must match – at all times – the voltage being applied to plate ―A‖
by the operator. Two Notes:
Slide 8
This being a brief overview, we shall only include here, and summarily discuss – for the
perusal of those with some understanding of electricity and electronics – one other
example of Smith's work, also in the form of a schematic. The results returned should
include one or more presentations with the image at left as the first slide. A separate,
extensive, presentation covers the subject in greater depth, and illustrates the inventor's
work with reviews of several of the more elaborate devices he built. To find it, go to
slideboom.com and enter energy capture in the site's search box.
Slide 9
―Most of the things that are in my devices which I demonstrate were put there because
people expect to see them, not because they need to be there‖. The diagram below
shows one embodiment of the ―complicated‖ version of Smith's approach. The
complexity was, in large part, a smokescreen. He more or less explicitly admitted to this
by stating, in a 1998 video recording:
Slide 10
A short number of e-mails exchanged in 2004 further confirm this interpretation. In them,
he provides precise instructions to ―de-complexify‖ the diagram just presented, as well as
to incorporate the key feature: the OPEN nature of the circuit, without which the drawing
of energy from the surrounding environment would have been, at the very least, much
more difficult, if not impossible.
Slide 11
―Wipe out 6, 7 and 8 and connect the diode bridge where #6 was‖. ―Positive diode bridge
connect only, with negative capacitor open - unattached‖. [Again…] ―Disconnect the
main diode bridge negative output from the output capacitor bank. Then hook the
disconnected negative capacitor to a separate circuit which powers the load and into an
adjustable earth grounding‖. ―There is a simple way which does not require the inverter‖.
[Here he may well be referring to his ―Device 5‖. Rather than an inverter as such, the unit
uses an RC Thyristor – which includes a reverse diode – to take care of the inversion
function. Extended presentation previously mentioned contains further details, links, etc].

Schematic-Corrections,2663066153.pdf] Diode bridge's Negative output Connection is
left ―dangling‖; OPEN. Separate Load-powering Circuit. OPEN - Allows Energy IN from
Ambient
Slide 12
The incisive insight that led to the invention was the realization that a capacitor is the
ultimate transformer, and that it can be used as the crucial controlling component in an
electrical circuit specifically designed to remain OPEN to the surrounding environment
(the Earth's magnetic- and electrical fields), thereby enabling us to TAP the planetary
system's boundless, incessantly flowing, reservoir of energy. [call it a highly
engineerable, single turn, isolation transformer]
Slide 13
This completely revolutionizes one of the most basic and far-reaching functions upon
which economic activity and productivity depend. Smith's ingenious device makes power
widely available, regardless of location, while, simultaneously, eliminating the operating
cost. No more price-per-gallon (bye-bye, cash-fuel-dependent devices!); no more cost
per kw/hour (my ―harvester‖ will capture those kilowatts for me, thank you very much!).
Slide 14
Not only several business sectors (Oil & Gas Co's, Electric Utilities), but also The State
itself (via the levying of sales taxes), are highly invested in the existing paradigm. Under
the system in place, individuals and businesses must engage in an exchange of MONEY
in order to obtain energy (thus giving the State the opportunity to grab ―its‖ share). Then
again, for these very reasons, it is highly disruptive of a long-established, strongly
entrenched, existing order and power structure.

Slide 15
With remarkable swiftness and elegance, Smith's Ambient Energy Generator pulls the
rug out from under the established ―arrangement‖. But it doesn't HAVE to be that way.
Not any more… It's a game-changer whose time may very well have come.
Slide 16

Capacitor Transformer, as applied to Energy Harvesting. While he called it the Ambient
Energy Generator, it is perhaps best characterized as a Universal Energy Intake Valve
(Typically sourced from 12V, 7Ah battery, driving a switch-mode power supply, such as a
neon-sign driver. Feedback loop technique - via magnetic domain - keeps battery at top
charge even as it powers the system - see ―Energy Capture 101‖, sec. 3).
Slide 17
The fact that we ―come equipped‖ with an ―automatic system‖ that efficiently draws in air,
extracts from it what our body requires (mostly, oxygen), circulates it to where it's
needed, and returns the remainder to the source. Smith's uncannily ingenious device
does ―just that‖ with regard to energy. It creates an area of relatively low ―pressure‖
(voltage) which effectively draws in energy from the ambient. It then skilfully sorts the
types of charges most useful to it, passes them along to where they're needed, and
returns the remainder to the source. Neat! Energy is FREE – Like the AIR that you
breathe. Is this just ―a slogan‖? Let's see: what makes air so invaluable? To coin a

FUNCTIONS Two main types of capacitors are found in widespread use; namely,
regular ["standard", "conventional"] and electrolytic. Super Capacitors are also becoming
more generally available. A Capacitor is a blocking device. The charge is placed on one
side only. The other side draws an equal amount of Energy from the Ambient
Background. The Capacitor is an Energy Pump. The second side captures ambient
energy and will -- on its own -- maintain its charge, even though there is energy passing
through the outlet [i.e., _flowing through_ this second plate, to go feed the load]. The
beauty of this is that, when used with a diode, and / or a diode bridge -- which are one-
way devices -- you have an Energy Pump with unlimited output. The reason the second
side can perform this unlimited-output pumping function is that it feeds from the Ambient.
By arranging the diodes, you can get negative or positive output. Positive output will die
a heat death [i.e., will be hobbled by resistance, and won't be able to convey energy very
far] whereas the negative will run cool. The only limit on the output is the capacitor size.
New shoe-box sized super capacitors are rated, as single units, at greater than 400
Farads, and deliver 400,000 Watts of energy storage. The Device does not deplete if
only the output side is used. Since this action has not been named, I get to name it. I
herewith name it the [ DSE ] DON SMITH EFFECT. Further, if one leg of a light emitting
diode is attached to the output side capacitor plate, the LED will provide an effective
visual observation of the DSE. The main output side should be a diode passing through
to the point of use or load. Another phenomenon is observable; namely, a cooling effect,
as seen in the heat exchange modules. ----- "The capacitor transformer opens the door

Forward through the Past ? Uncle Don Smiles Again ! Two valuable items related to Don
Smith and his work have been released on the Tube, mid-June 2018; namely, his 1994
and 1995 presentations, believed to be at the Extraordinary Technology Conferences.
1994 – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oc_8U4hGtyE First impressions from the
Team on what they show, & how it ―fits in‖ with what had been available previously. 1995
– https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwVTDctXyos
Slide 2
Forward through the Past ? We approach the task of examining these materials from the
privileged perspective of 2018 – more than 20 years after the fact – but also of those
who see Mr Smith's solid state line as his Summum Opus, and his Ambient Energy
Generator / Capacitor-Transformer as his Magnum Opus, the very best of his non-solid
state production. This viewpoint holds that – in respect to the non-solid state line – a
watershed moment came in 2004 / 2005, with Smith's revealing e-mails, understood to
have been sent to Bruce Perreault (who showed both generosity and insight in openly
sharing them virtually at once) and the demonstration of the capacitor as an energy-
intake-valve. The content of the present releases (the 1994 and 1995 events) is richer in
detail than much of what the inventor presented afterwards (with the obvious exception
of the just-noted 2004/2005 disclosures). Yet, they take us back to ―the past‖, long
before Smith plainly instructed us to ―wipe out 6, 7 & 8‖; that is to say: GET RID OF
THOSE COILS! They're NOT NEEDED! And, also, to ―think outside the box‖ with regard
to frequency adjustment and inversion (in his Coke machine device, he had reached the
point where he could ―solve‖ both of those by means of a single component: a thyristor).
Word to the wise: Smith is tricky; more so inasmuch as he openly admits it! In these
presentations he STARTS OUT by emphasizing that various components in his
diagrams are not needed. Yet, he spends UNTOLD AMOUNTS of TIME in his later
appearances discussing the vastly over-designed Device 3 (with its ever-so-sleek spark
gap, and its endless ―tuning‖ subtleties), his coil-centered Device 2, and on, and on.
Having said that, let us now joyfully proceed to pick the sage's brain.
Slide 3
The first thing that struck the Team as interesting in the newly released materials was
the clear, unambiguous confirmation, in the inventor‘s own words, of the central
argument put forward in the Homage: Smith — proceeds into electromagnetism from
geology, — directly compares electricity to pressure (one of the analogies offered in the
Homage, along with temperature) and — specifically cites density (of electrons /
negative charges) as the parameter that ‖governs‖ electricity. Just as there won‘t be any
wind unless there is a difference in pressure between point A and point B, there will not
be any electricity unless there is a similar difference (in this case, in concentration of
negative charges) between two points, with the flow occurring from the high to the low.
Slide 4
Given the eloquent evidence presented by Smith's solid state product line, along with his
comments about the Egyptian pyramids and his repeated references to electromagnetic
maps, there was hardly any need for additional confirmation in regard to his geologically-
centered outlook. These verbatim quotes, however, which can be read as saying ―just
create a density differential, and you're in business‖, are refreshingly to-the-point, and —
in that way — worth noting. ['94 - 00:35:20] ―Electrical energy is ‗achieved‘ when electron
density at point A becomes greater than electron density at point B. This is your potential
difference between two points. If that doesn‘t exist, you don‘t have any [electrical]
energy, regardless of how many electrons are there. [i.e., it‘s not the ABSOLUTE density
of electrons that matters, but the RELATIVE levels between the points in question] It‘s
just like the high pressure and low pressure areas in the weather system. Things are
gonna move away from the high pressure areas, into the low pressure areas. And
electron density acts the same way‖.
Slide 5
Second observation: in studying this newly available material, more elements seem to
indicate a two-track approach to research and device development, with the issue of
frequency as the dividing line. On the one hand, a relatively stodgy, less ―elegant‖ set of
―bulky‖ pieces – exemplified by the ―Commercial Unit‖, the large light-blue-and-white
Tesla Coil, and Device 9 (the rotating disk affair) – designed to operate throughout at the
standard line frequency of 50-60 Hz. This would represent the simple-is-best, let's-be-
practical approach, entirely dispensing with the need for a frequency adjustment stage
that might prove relatively complex to design, not too easy to execute, and potentially
prone to failure from ―de-tuning‖. On the other hand, a more subtle, smaller and lighter
line of units, targeting frequencies in the megahertz range as the principal means of
―harvesting‖, or drawing in, potential energy, in truly VAST amounts. While these are
smaller, lighter, more sophisticated exercises in engineering, the sizable adjustment in
frequency they require represents an inherent challenge. Early on, this entailed a
relatively complex series of steps, with a concomitant loss of reliability (greater number
of potential points of failure, fickleness of the precise tuning required for the device to
operate correctly, if at all, etc).
Slide 6
When it comes to the radio frequency units – notably in the '94 presentation, less so in
'95 – the inventor offers pretty detailed descriptions and explanations on his approach to
the output stage of these devices (frequency adjustment and inversion, where required;
elaborate ―sculpting‖ of the wave shape). This review is more exhaustive and ―fine-
grained‖ than anything that we've been able to find in the materials previously available
(his '96 and later appearances, his publications, etc). It is quite notable that he doesn‘t
exhibit these output stages, in physical form, at ANY of his later events, except for the
rare cases of Device 5 (the Coke machine device), presented via slides in 2005, and the
very tightly packed Suitcase circuit, which he did show in 2001, but focusing almost
exclusively on the ―ambient-boosting‖ antenna. In '94, by contrast, Smith treats us to a
step-by-step, at-the-whiteboard, walk through of the frequency reduction stage, as well
as the inversion and wave-shaping stages. Down to the precise orientation of the diodes
in the bridge. He also physically displays his inverter circuit, and shows us that it is
borrowed directly from an 1893 Tesla design.
Slide 7
From left to right, we see the original drawing (a diametrical section) of the horizontal
axis ―Bucking L2's‖ Tesla Coil, from the 1894 Commerford Martin book, Smith's selection
of Tesla Circuits, in which the same device appears ―upside down‖ (perhaps to show that
the connection tying the bases of the L2's goes to ground), and, lastly, the inventor's
hand holding his inverter circuit in vertical axis position, to match his sketch of the same
circuit on the whiteboard. Incoming connector block at top, enclosed diode bridge below,
―back-to-back‖ (bucking) L2's to the right, and output connector block at far right, by
Smith's hand. [ '94 Presentation, 1:48:09 ]
Slide 8
['95 - 00:41:25] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwVTDctXyos&t=2500] In
discussing item number 3 (bottom left, our ―Bucking L2's‖ Tesla Coil), Smith says that
the windings are ‗laid on top‘ of one another, as opposed to one long winding — a
technique that Joseph Henry used, to boost amperage, btw — and says, about ‗that
center deal‘ (likely meaning the center tap) ‖if you put it on a timing circuit and ground it,
you can get 60 cycles direct from this thing on the first go-around, without going through
any other sort of transformer, or anything else, so you can ‗generate‘ 60-cycle electricity
direct with the Tesla coil‖.
Slide 9
A third observation from the newly released material is the shunted capacitor deployed
as a diode; the quintessential Smith move. On the one hand, it allows him to overcome
limitations that would be imposed on him if a ready-made component wasn't available at
the precise intersection of parameters that one of his designs would require. (No off-the-
shelf diode that fits my needs? No problem, I‘ll ―make my own‖ from a capacitor and a
resistor). But, also — and not insignificant, considering the inventor‘s statement that he
uses ―improper connections and other methods, to slow down those out for a free ride‖
— the overlap enables him to create confusion (if he so wishes to) by playing with the
respective symbols more or less at will in the diagrams he releases. From the specific
standpoint of UDMT‘s frightening lack of formal knowledge, practical experience, or
credentials in electricity / electronics, it came as a complete revelation that ―the
equivalent circuit of a diode is, basically, a capacitor with a resistor shunt on it… across
the two poles of the capacitor‖. [ 1995 Second Presentation [1:00:25 >>] ]. It provided
strong confirmation for the interpretation the Team had proposed for the ―Commercial
Device‖, in particular, in the K4K Challenge; namely, that diodes could be counted upon
to discharge just as ―disruptively‖ as Tesla had underscored for the case of capacitors,
and, therefore, could be employed in the same way: to trigger a sequence of pulses
(very short bursts of high current / high power) from a given amount of energy available,
in the form of potential / voltage.
Slide 10
For power to increase as a result of this process, the filling up needs to take longer than
the draining out. This, in turn, (conveniently, and somewhat counter-intuitively) means
that a smaller amount of power can be employed in the filling up process. By the same
token, a larger amount will result from the ultra-short discharge time. A quick example of
this would be the switch mode power supply that appears in slide 12 of the K4K
Challenge (the ―Killer App‖ file). It uses just 36 watts of input (12 volts, 3 Amps) to deliver
81 watts of output (4,500 volts, 18 milliAmps). This is neither ―overunity‖ (as generally
understood - more energy out than in) nor a gross error in labeling, nor ―magic‖. ―to get
the most power out of a given amount of energy (voltage) available at point A, ―chop it
up‖ or segment it into discrete amounts, or ―chunks‖, then ―shoot‖ them from point A to
point B over a connection of the lowest possible resistance‖ (given that power, in watts,
equals voltage squared over resistance, in ohms). In a more general sense, and in
layman‘s language, this could be stated as: In the team‘s visualization, the diode
operates as a sluice in a river. It fills up, then drains out; fills up, then drains out. Each of
these cycles represents one of the ―chunks‖ of energy being transferred.
Slide 11
It‘s important to bear in mind the clear distinction between energy and power. Power is a
ratio (energy over time), which can change without the amount of energy changing. IF
we keep energy unchanged, THEN it's the other factor (time) that ―governs‖ the ultimate
result obtained. Note that time, in turn, is a consequence, or derivative, of resistance. For
a given amount of energy being transferred, the lower the resistance it has to overcome,
the faster the process will tend to be; hence, the shorter the time. (And the greater the
power that will be applied ―at the receiving end‖). A more ―radical‖ example can be
presented by examining this method through the quantity of ONE. Just to tease your
brain, calculate what the theoretical output, in watts, would be for the case of: 1 volt
being transferred over a connection that presents a resistance of 1 milliohm
Slide 12
In the fourth place, Smith is quite insistent – and explicit – in emphasizing the significant
―stray‖ or unintended behavior of components, with respect to ―secondary‖ parameters;
most particularly the inductance and capacitance of resistors. ['95 presentation,
00:12:20] ―Although you think that resistors are resistors, if you take your LCR meter,
and you measure the capacitance and the inductance of almost any resistor you‘re going
to run into, you‘ll find out that the resistor is a lot better capacitor and a lot better inductor
than it is a resistor. And those things vary considerably from one resistor to another, and
the only way you can get around that is [to] get NON-inductive, NON-capacitive
resistors… if you look on the packages, you‘ll see that there is a little square box —
ceramic box-looking 'deal' — that says on the top of the package that it‘s a non-inductive
resistor. If you‘re trying to tune these things by changing the resistance or the
capacitance, and you‘re adding these things in, you get into a situation that every time
you get one thing corrected, you get something else out-of-balance, and the net result is
it doesn‘t work very well‖. [so DO use ―truly neutral‖ components, or you'll waste lots of
time, and pile on frustration].
Slide 13
['95 presentation, 01:16:15] [again on the subject of non-capacitive, non-inductive
resistors] ―Since last year, there‘ve been hundreds of people that have tried to duplicate
what I did, and there‘s about twelve, I guess, out of several hundred, that were
successful. And the main reason most of them failed was the impedance problem,
because when they started putting capacitors and resistors, and, you know, various
other things in there – which control the timing circuit, so that the different coils could talk
to each other… – basically they blew themselves out of the water, and very few of them
ever bothered to check and see if there was something there, other than resistance (or
capacitance, or whatever) even in your L1 and L2 coils…‖ ―For example, some of the L2
coils I have, have like three- or four hundred microfarads. [annoying audience member
interrupts again, unintelligible] Basically what that tells you is that instead of having
400,000 cycles a second, you‘ve got 400 c.p.s., which, actually, that‘s kind‘a interesting
because that‘s down in the range where you can start running electric motors, and such.
So the potential exists there for going directly to the motor, instead of having to go
through several stages to get to them‖. [Mentions motors used in the controls of
airplanes, that run at 400 c.p.s. They‘re small, have a lot of torque and a lot of
horsepower for the size]. [The most important thing, he's saying, is to keep an OPEN
MIND. Then, you can spot the OPPORTUNITY to turn an obstacle into an advantage. Be
ready to turn on a dime, and explore an unusual angle. ALWAYS be on the lookout for
the option to SIMPLIFY, SIMPLIFY, SIMPLIFY].
Slide 14
In later years, Smith makes frequent cryptic remarks in a similar vein, but they are mostly
about coils. He'll say something like ―coils have inductance, capacitance and resistance‖,
and leave it at that. He's elliptically hinting at self-resonance, and the fact that, for any
given length of wire, there is a particular frequency, known as the natural frequency of
resonance, at which the wire's inductive reactance becomes equal and opposite to its
capacitive reactance, so they cancel each other out. At that point, the wire becomes an
all-in-one LC circuit, in resonance with itself. The significance of this, which Smith also
emphasizes – although, typically, at other times – is that, at resonance, resistivity, or
impedance, becomes zero. In the '94 and '95 presentations, Smith repeatedly touches
upon this in slightly different ways. In one instance, he's going over some of the
components that appear in his diagram – even though they're not necessary, he says,
[people laugh, thinking it's a joke] – and he mentions that one of them is the spark gap:
Self-Resonance [ '94 – 00:55:10 – in answer to question ] ―Yeah; well, it's simply a
blocking device which keeps your resonant coil system, which… normally [in a resonant
system] you have a capacitor and a coil, and you've got them like this (gestures up-and-
down). Well, in our case, we've put both the capacitor and the coil in one wire, and [by
doing that] we've eliminated some components that are subject to fail…‖
Slide 15
And again, a while later [ '95 presentation, 00:45:55 ]: [Question: What‘s the output
frequency of the laser module? In typical Smith fashion, repeats the question before
answering it ] ―What frequency? OK, the output frequency IS GOING TO BE
DETERMINED by the length of this wire right here (points to L1). The HIGHEST
frequency that you have represented in any of the components is going to be the
DOMINANT frequency. That‘s going to be SET by the LENGTH of the wire‖. ―When I
realized that a wire has its own inductance and capacitance [i.e., it can operate as a self-
contained, all-in-one LC circuit] … that told me immediately that I did not need a spark
gap. Because it‘s gonna 'load and unload‘ based on the frequency that‘s attributable to
that piece of wire‖. [ '95 presentation, 00:18:06 ] ―Once you know what frequency you
want to run it at, you cut that wire so that it matches the wavelength of that particular
frequency, and then your inductance and capacitance will take care of the off-and-on
‗deal‘, which you would expect the spark gap and some other things to take care of‖.
Though his speech pattern and style of presentation can be hard-to-follow at times, he is
nevertheless putting across a boatload of information, and telling you that, a) this is
pretty simple stuff, once you grasp the reasoning behind it, and b) in effect, you are in
control: you have quite a bit of freedom in setting the parameters.
Slide 16
[Not ―they‖ (the turns), but ―it‖: the length of the second coil has to be 2x, 4x, 8x (or 1/2x,
1/4x, 1/8x) the length of the first coil, so its natural frequency is a harmonic of the first
coil's natural frequency]. ―The second coil is going to run at a different frequency,
because the wire length is different. Coils are actually antennas that have been coiled for
convenience. They‘ll work just fine as a piece of wire (signals ―stretched out straight‖ with
his arms). But when you start winding them, you‘re doing that more for convenience than
anything else, and it‘s going to change your inductive characteristics, and a number of
other things, but it‘s not going to be detrimental to what you‘re doing‖. [This last
statement should probably be qualified. Changing the ―inductive characteristics‖ will
change the natural frequency of the piece of wire as an LC circuit]. ['94 - 00:49:22]
―Whenever you get into ‗wave-type arrangements‘, you have half-waves, quarter-waves,
eighth-waves, and so on, and so on. So, basically, what you want to do on any turns, or
whatever you put on your second coil, they should be a relationship, such that it will be
either a multiple or a division of the same frequency‖.
Slide 17
This brings us to the specific length of wire he appears to have selected almost as a
―standard module‖, the frequency at which it naturally oscillates, and the reasons that led
him to that particular choice. [ '94 presentation - 00:49:10 ] Points to L1 on the
whiteboard, and says: ―Say that this piece of wire here is at… 4-point… something feet‖,
which corresponds to 220 megacycles‖. [ '94 presentation – 1:18:56 ] Holds up 12V, 7A
battery that powers a device on the table. ―Turns out that the L1 coil on this device has a
4-point-something feet of length… of wire‖. Bottom line: for two very practical and distinct
reasons, he's targeting a frequency of 220 MHz, whose wavelength is 4.4708 feet (see
next slide). First reason (not mentioned here, but underscored at other times): the higher
the frequency, the greater the amount of energy ―harvested‖. The second reason is the
one indicated above: keeping the lengths of cable within a manageable range. The ―side-
benefit‖ tops it up. Not bad! ―It turns out that the wire which hooks on to the battery here
has that same length. We're dealing with a radio device, so we've got an L1 there which
is oscillating at the same frequency that this wire here that goes to the battery would
oscillate at. So, guess what? When I hook it on to this battery here, it's going to be
generating electricity and feeding back into the device, and it's not going to be using the
electricity out of this (holds up battery). And, how (do) I know that? These devices have
been run for as much as a month at a time, with no lowering of the capacity of the
battery‖. [ '94 presentation – 1:21:38 ] ―That's one advantage of operating 'up in the
higher frequencies' because if you run down below the 200,000 cycles this cable here
would have to be… maybe… 400 feet long‖. An interesting ―side-benefit‖: the feedback
effect
Slide 18
http://www.1728.org/freqwave.htm This screenshot of the Electromagnetic Frequency,
Wavelength and Energy Ultra Calculator shows the wavelength of a 220 MegaHertz
Electromagnetic wave: 4.4708 feet
Slide 19
One can speculate that he's driving it slower than that, at 240 or even 120 pulses per
second, which equates to 60 AC cycles. That would greatly simplify the design, avoiding
the need for frequency adjustment. Be that as it may, this does not seem to have been
one of Smith's most satisfying projects. [Image from '95, second presentation – 01:37:58]
[ '95 presentation, 00:33:30 ] ―You‘re going to end up with a timing ‗deal‘; it‘s going to be
cutting it off and on. So it‘s the resistance TIMES the capacitance of the capacitor that
tells you how many times per second the ignition coil is coming off and on.‖ The bulkier
devices do not appear to be targeting radio frequency. We are shown that the large
Tesla Coil is controlled by an ―old-fashioned‖ timing circuit. High voltage pulses are
drawn from a car ignition coil. Smith hints at the approx-imate frequency by citing 8
cylinders, 2,000 rpm. That's 16,000 pulses per minute, which boils down to 266.6666…
pulses per second.
Slide 20
What Smith referred-to as the ―Commercial Unit‖, shown at the very beginning of the '96
presentation, strikes this team as a much more developed and interesting device. It uses
a conventional coils-on-core Neon Sign Transformer, which is • being driven by ―clipped‖
sine-waves from a heavy duty ―dimmer‖, • has a mid-point ground secondary coil, and •
has had its output voltage substantially increased, most likely by reducing the number of
turns in its primary coil. • two silicone diodes equipped with large heat dissipators, • high
current, high-voltage ribbon connectors (in between diodes, and onward to the capacitor
bank), and • what appear to be 15 kVA DRI-VAR AC line capacitors, made in Finland by
Nokian, presumably under contract from Westinghouse, which marketed them under its
own brand in North America. In their standard version, these were rated at 240 V, 480 V
or 600 V, AC. The unit also sports
Slide 21
One can endlessly speculate about what EXACTLY was INSIDE the cases of Smith's
capacitors. For one thing, he had mentioned the dielectric KAPTON, made by Dow
Chemical, in his '95 presentation [01:21:00], saying a one mil layer of this material had a
breakdown voltage of 7- or 8,000 volts. It may not be too much of a stretch to think he
ripped out the standard cells in the caps, and replaced them with his own sub-assembly
(perhaps as simple as his flat-plate demo version) equipped with a few layers of Kapton.
This would fit with his claim in the '98 office interview: "… commercial model… the
absolute output level on it, I don't know. But some of the components in there would
probably limit it to some 35,000 volts at, probably, about… 200 Amperes. And that is an
enormous amount of electricity." On the left, we see the capacitors on Smith's
―Commercial Unit‖; on the right, the label on a standard-fare Westinghouse cap. The
Westinghouse brand has been removed from the inventor's caps.

Slide 22
The clipping action of the ―dimmer‖ on the AC waves would give them a quality of sharp
―cutoff-and-reconnect‖, approximating them to pulsed DC. Also: dialing back on the input
voltage increases amperage, our man says in '96, but you have to be careful not to
overdo it, or you will melt your transformer. ['96 – part 2, 08:30. Smith is discussing
Device 3 - As a matter of fact, as you lower the voltage in, the amperage goes up on this
thing, so if you run it at less than 110 volts on this inverter here, and then you "back it
off" again with the variable "deal" (dimmer-like device) you're going to end up with, in
some cases, more amperage than the device can handle. You can melt it!.] Insides of a
specialty ―dimmer‖ for Neon Sign Transformers – Darkspeed at Overunity.com.
Slide 23
The trimming back of turns in L1, in order to increase the voltage obtained from L2, is
specifically discussed in '96, part 6. [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tj8m8BUvvug&a
mp;t=18 ] While Smith relates the mid-point grounding of L2 to its ability to deliver
amperage ['96 presentation, part 1], one should also keep in mind that two diodes, in
combination with a mid-point grounded transformer, can operate as a full bridge rectifier,
contrary to what one might infer (a little too quickly) from just counting the number of
diodes. Interestingly, in '96, part 1, Smith remarks that the Commercial Device ―is going
to be A LOT SIMPLER than the one you're looking at on the floor here.‖ (Device 3)
Slide 24
To conclude: for those of us with a keen interest in Smith's work, it's always a welcome
experience to come across previously unreleased materials featuring the master in
person. These two recordings are no exception. They provide us with more food for
thought, and with a wealth of detail that wasn't typical of his later presentations. MANY

As regards Smith's ―Ambient Energy Generator‖, a Challenge has been proposed to any
and all QUALIFIED* parties who might be interested. Dubbed the K4K, it calls for a
working system, based on Smith's capacitor-transformer ―reference schematic‖, to be •

In a tip-o'-the-hat to both Mr Smith and Steve Jobs – known for NEVER, EVER
accepting 2nd best – the proponents of this Challenge state that all ―players‖ are strongly
encouraged to implement two basic features of the Smith method: 1.- the self-powering
feedback loop ―triangulated‖ via the magnetic domain1, and Why this Challenge? -
Reviving and methodically developing Smith's innovation initiates a transition toward an
installed base of fully autonomous electrical devices of all types and sizes, each
equipped with its own ―energy capture module‖, rather than a power cord, a runtime
battery or an internal combustion engine. (The small on-board battery is only there to
briefly provide power for such units to restart, in the event of an extended stop). K4K

―silicone related non-metals‖, (―electron donors‖), as distinct from any ―conventional‖
grounding scheme meant to help dissipate away un-called for bursts of energy or voltage
surges. Each of them is an essential and inseparable aspect of this key technology. 1 In
this regard, it is useful to bear in mind the mutual induction properties of ―joined-at-the-
hip‖ (Figure 8) cable, most particularly multi-strand varieties, such as ―Jumbo Speaker

Slide 6
The two most obvious models available for guidance – as opposite endpoints of a range
of power outputs – would be Smith's ―Commercial Unit‖, at the high end, and his ―Device
5‖, a.k.a. Coke Machine Device, at the low end. Input / Build-Up Stage Output / Inversion
Stage ―Commercial Unit‖ (Output Stage Not Shown) ―Device 5‖, a.k.a. Coke Machine
Device. A few comments – and these are strictly conjectures, opinions, hypotheses,
NOT proven facts – from the Uncle Don Memorial Team. While this may not appear
obvious at first glance, it does seem safe to say that EACH and EVERY ONE of Smith's
devices is a version or variant of his ―Ambient Energy Generator‖.
Slide 7
It is also clear that the ―Energy Intake Valve‖ or ―Ambient Energy Generator‖, built
around the capacitor-transformer, relies on a matching of the voltages between plate ―A‖
and plate ―E‖ as its main means of control and regulation. The Ambient sees plate ―E‖ as
a buffer that continuously ―leaks‖ to ground (through the primary of the output
transformer, whose secondary powers the Load) virtually all of the energy it receives;
yet, ―retains‖ within itself a certain quantity of charges, which allow it to maintain voltage
parity with plate ―A‖. But Mr Smith is employing the capacitor as a transformer, whose
stock-in-trade is power, not merely voltage. So what's required – in addition to the parity
of voltage – is a relationship between • the POWER that each pulse delivers to plate ―A‖
and • the POWER expected to be drawn by the Load, via plate ―E‖. On close inspection,
ALL of Smith's devices lead up to a capacitor or bank of capacitors, which – in a brilliant
stroke of creative insight – he opted to employ not as a capacitor, but as a(n isolation)
transformer. Everything that happens before that is IN PREPARATION for the ―cap-
former‖ ―trick‖. Given that voltage on either plate will be equalized by Nature, the key
factor in this relationship will be the resistance presented by the last leg connectors.
Slide 8
This calls attention to the ―speed‖ at which the pulses travel, and – quite specifically –
how short the time is that they take to traverse that last leg of their journey into plate ―A‖.
As Tesla underscored when he called the condenser (capacitor) ―the most wonderful
electrical instrument‖, In this interpretation, the diodes in a Smith device do not just play
the role of rectifi-ers, where appropriate, but – more importantly – they act as one-way
devices with a high enough amperage rating to allow them to withstand a ―very low‖
resistance on that final leg (between the last diode and the plate). This low resistance
―Oversized‖ connectors provide ―wide pathway‖ between diodes and Plate ―A‖. • the
shorter the time a given transfer takes, • the greater the power delivered per unit of
energy being transferred. • shortens the pulse transfer time, increasing the power it
delivers, while • the diodes effectively shield the upstream portion of the circuit from the
―sudden surge‖ in current draw that this ―ultra-low resistance‖ ―wide pathway‖ would
trigger.
Slide 9
1.- supply a pulse train at a given voltage (usually, but not necessarily, at radio
frequency) by means of a switch-mode power supply, a variac, or a ―dimmer‖-controlled
transformer, powered from a battery; 2.- flow the pulses through a ―high amperage‖
diode bridge, taking only the positive output, and 3.- strongly accelerate the pulses
leaving the diode bridge toward the ―A‖ plate of the capacitor-transformer by providing a
very low resistance path. Both the ―Commercial Unit‖ and the Coke Machine Device
seem to follow the same, very simple, sequence of procedures on the ―A‖ side of the
system:
Slide 10
―From these diodes, it becomes pulsating DC. • One diode will give you a sawtooth
pattern… the second one there will kick in and cause the other one to kick out at a
certain point, so • you have a continuous, pulsating, DC on a straight line instead of a
sawtooth type arrangement‖. '96 Tesla Symposium Presentation, Part 1 [ https://www.yo
utube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=W99FOWtIz8s#t=287 ] ―Diodes are
not critical. They're silicone, good for several thousand volts, 200 Amps‖. This slide from
the ―Energy Capture 101‖ presentation quotes Smith directly on the role of the diodes.
While he's as cryptical as usual, he seems to be saying they ―sharpen‖ the pulses,
turning them into a sequence of ―discrete‖ bursts of energy. In our interpretation, these
are being ―drawn in‖ to plate ―A‖ at a greatly increased speed.
Slide 11
In the case of The Challenge (call it a ―scale model‖ version of the typical Smith device),
the output required is quite modest: just 1,000W. This being so, it looks like one could
deliver to plate ―A‖ a stream of pulses matching the target by using little more than: •
some lithium-ion batteries, • a DC-DC converter (putting out, say, 15V) and • a set of
15V diodes capable of withstanding 70 Amps. [The Vishay Schottky diode shown
(115CNQ015APbF - rated at 15V, 110 Amp) may or may not be appropriate for the
function]. [15V, 80 Amp also available; perhaps not enough of a safety margin]. 15V x
70A = 1,050W On the ―E‖ side, a set of diodes (full bridge, half-bridge?) is seen as
necessary – at the point of intake from the Ambient – to ―fend off‖ any positive charges,
allowing only negative charges onto the output plate. (A typical converter will put out
15V, 3A, or so). Assuming the diodes effectively shield the upstream portion of the
circuit, they enable an increase of 23+ TIMES in Amperage – therefore, in POWER – on
the final leg of the pulse's trajectory into plate ―A‖. [As per the book, with a .7V forward
drop, 14.3V x 70A = 1,001W].
Slide 12
Figure 8 cable (multi-stranded, Jumbo Speaker-style) may produce feedback effect.
Even as regular DC+ flows outward from the battery pack, over red conduit, to drive
neon sign power supply, blue conduit carries high frequency pulses from neon sign
power supply in the opposite direction. Mutual induction from these is quite likely to
trigger similar pulses on red conduit, which will feed into the battery, keeping it at full
charge. Diodes (L.E.D.'s) let us know if/when energy is flowing in both directions.

Who was this
Donald Lee,
the man who set power free?
And, what was the “method to his madness”,
so to speak?

Slide 1
Who was this Donald Lee, the man who set power free? And, what was the ―method to
his madness‖, so to speak?
Slide 2
Affectionately known to some as ―the little Tesla from Texas‖ – ―little‖ because he was
short of stature, certainly not of creative mental ability, or strong determination – Donald
Lee Smith (1928-2010) was an American petroleum geologist who devoted his
retirement years to research and invention in electromagnetism. His dedicated effort on
energy capture for power delivery reached a significant achievement in the form of a
concise, thoroughly thought-through and refined method. It is exquisitely simple; in fact,
deceptively so. As with all great solutions, once found and explained, it strikes one as
―highly obvious‖1. 1 His work on purely solid state power delivery devices – possibly
developed in collaboration with a friend of his, a professor at the University of Tokyo – is
in a class by itself, yet another cut above.
Slide 3
Smith addresses both phases of the procedure, operating, at all times, in the radio
frequency range. This is an essential aspect of his method2. There are two separate and
distinct stages in the process of supplying power to a device or system. The first is
procuring / obtaining the energy. The second is converting / transforming this energy into
power. 2 [Edit on Apr 2, 2018] Two of Mr Smith's prototypes would appear to stand as
exceptions, which follow a different approach. Both the rotating shield apparatus (Device
9) and the so-called 35 Kw Commercial Unit seem designed to operate throughout at the
standard line frequency of 50/60 Hz.
Slide 4
In the first step, if any ―surplus‖ energy is required — above and beyond that supplied by
his ostensible source — he draws it ―on the fly‖ / ―on demand‖ / ―as needed‖ from the
Earth‘s magnetic- and electrical fields. The method is straightforward: an increase in
potential (voltage) by means of any one of a number of standard devices; from
conventional neon sign transformers (controlled by a regulator / dimmer) through lab
type variacs and laser gun power supplies to low cost switch-mode neon sign power
adapters.
Slide 5
Two side notes need to be inserted right away: First: energy is readily available from the
Earth's magnetic- and electrical fields, with no set limits as to quantity. At radio
frequency, in particular, a gain in potential — which is easily achieved — is a gain in
energy. Second: This gain in energy is not an indispensable part of the Smith process.
For low power applications — as exemplified in ―The K4K Challenge‖, with its 1,000 Watt
output target — the first step may be skipped altogether.
Slide 6
The second step is the conversion of the energy obtained into power. It presents an
additional opportunity for gain. Because power is the quotient of energy over time, it
follows that the shorter the interval that a transfer takes, the greater the power that the
destination device will receive (from a given / identical amount of energy). While this is
simple high-school physics, it also happens to be the basis for a sharp observation on
the part of Nikola Tesla, concerning capacitors (in Tesla‘s time, ―condensers‖, which he
contrasted favorably to a very large gun, capable of hurling a projectile over a distance of
18 or 20 miles). [ A further discussion of this, with additional references, can be found at
www.slideboom.com/1747458/ slides 106-111, and 117-122 ]
Slide 7
Smith employs ―high amperage‖ diodes to perform, in a simpler fashion, the function that
the condenser fulfilled in Tesla‘s example. The diodes allow for one or more sudden
drops in resistance leading into the device being powered without compromising the
integrity of the upstream components in the circuit.3 Increased amperage applied to the
available voltage translates into greater power delivered (from a given amount of energy
available for transfer). [ 3 As per the interpretation presented in ―The K4K Challenge‖,
found at www.slideboom.com/1692778 ]
Slide 8
The inventor is tireless in stressing, over and over again, that ―Ohm‘s Law does not
apply to… radio frequency systems‖. He has to, as people — mostly lazy-minded know-
it-alls — keep trying to argue that one can‘t increase amperage without suffering a
proportionate loss in voltage, and vice versa (i.e., Ohm‘s Law). Note also that the effect
described is not likely to work with any flow of energy in ―continuous‖ or uninterrupted
form (conventional DC or AC), yet it‘s very much an option for a train of pulses, which
are — so to speak — individual ―pellets‖ or batches of energy distinctly separate from
one another. Here the time factor can be ―manipulated‖ by the operator, to produce an
increase in power.
Slide 9
Discontinuities - The Radio Frequency Threshold As an old-school scientist with all the
―requisite‖ formal ―knowledge‖, Smith had a clear understanding of such notions as
discontinuities and quantum phenomena. In layman‘s terms, the idea that the fabric of
the physical universe is not ―smooth‖ and continuous, but that it shows ―break-points‖ or
―leaps‖ at apparently random intervals. (Our rational mind tells us there has to be some
sort of a pattern to these intervals, but it doesn‘t jump out of the page at us. At best, we
can hope to find it, in due course). Be that as it may, the ―leaps‖ or discontinuities are
there. Phase changes, such as from solid to liquid or liquid to vapor; thresholds, such as
from sub-sonic flight to supersonic flight. (A plane will behave / respond in markedly
different fashion in each of those environments).
Slide 10
For Smith, the threshold of radio frequency was a manifest case. It constituted a
boundary beyond which electrical phenomena started to behave not just differently, but
much more favorably to human purposes. He stressed this by repeatedly stating that
―Ohm‘s Law does not apply to radio frequency air-core coil systems‖. This tied in with his
other oft-cited assertion: at radio frequency the electrons do not travel through the
conductor; they encircle it. Therefore, they‘re not subject to the conductor‘s resistance. In
this regard, it is interesting to note that Gerry Vassilatos‘ elaborate review of Tesla‘s
research into what he called radiant energy — first chapter of the book entitled Secrets
of Cold War Technology — reaches a point of culmination or revelation when Tesla
concludes that for an electromagnetic pulse not to cause physical pain or discomfort, its
duration must not exceed 50 millionths of a second. Lo and behold, if one breaks the
quantity of one million into batches of 50, what results is a total of 20,000 batches. In
other words, a frequency of — roughly — 20,000 pulses (or cycles) per second; what
has become identified as the threshold of radio frequency. (Note also that Dr Lindemann
quotes extensively from this text by Vassilatos in his very detailed presentation on the
work of Edwin V. Gray, which highlights its similarities with Tesla‘s methods and circuit
designs). [ Vassilatos - http://borderlandresearch.com/book/secrets-cold-war-tech/chapte

Slide 11
Before there was materials science, there was geology. Smith was, first and foremost, a
geologist. He became interested in electromagnetism through his work in petroleum
prospecting, whose goal it was — let us not overlook this, as it shows a unity of purpose
to the man‘s endeavors over the years — to help meet humanity‘s need for energy.
While most others in his line of business routinely looked upon, and employed, geology
as a mere subsidiary tool for the task at hand, he proceeded from the standpoint of the
alert scientist and technologist. It didn‘t take him long to relate the highly contrasting
levels of magnetic and electrical flux in various sampling spots on the Earth‘s crust to the
wide range of characteristics and behaviors that different materials and elements
exhibited with regard to electromagnetic phenomena. Reading Rocks
Slide 12
Steeped as he was in chemistry, and fully acquainted with the concept of catalysis, it
wasn‘t hard for him to grasp the seeming paradox of those conjoined twins, electricity
and magnetism, behaving as catalysts for one another – each ―making the other
possible‖. In his words, one was never present without the other. It also seemed highly
obvious to him that the behavior of electricity was similar to that of several other
processes in nature. Like heat and pressure, it flowed spontaneously from high to low;
namely, from an area where negative charges were in high concentration to one showing
lower density of such charges. It followed that humans could facilitate flows of electric
energy by providing efficient conduits between points with disparate levels of
concentration.
Slide 13
When plotted against his extensive knowledge of materials, and their abundance or
scarcity on the Earth‘s crust, this viewpoint led him to an understanding that the concept
of ―ground‖, in electricity, was eminently relative. No place or chunk of material was
―absolute ground‖; rather, each of them occupied a certain position or level on the scale
of negative charge concentration. Given any pair of points, the one with the lowest
concentration played the role of ―ground‖ in relation to the other. Energy would naturally
tend to flow toward it.
Slide 14
But there was more: as materials science advanced — along with the manufacturing of
electronic devices, such as diodes, capable of effectively separating charges — humans
had acquired the ability to purposely create areas of high concentration of negative
charges to serve as points of departure for such energy transfers, as well as the reverse:
areas of low concentration to act as the receiving end. In other words: people could
design their own ―ground gradients‖ in the form of electrical circuits and trigger energy
flows through those circuits to power devices virtually at will.
Slide 15
Smith's Ambient Energy Generator / Capacitor-Transformer — in effect, a Universal
Energy Intake Valve — brightly integrates and applies these various insights. It receives
power on its input plate (―A‖), in the form of positive electrical charges (radio frequency
DC pulses). This creates the conditions for its output plate (―E‖) to draw the equivalent
amount from the Ambient in the form most favorable to his intended purposes: negative
charges. As these are discharged to ground through a transformer, whose secondary
coil powers the load, the Ambient delivers additional charges to the output plate.
Slide 16
The Ambient must do this in order to keep the system in a state of dynamic equilibrium,
in which the mandatory voltage parity between the plates is maintained, despite the fact
that charges are being consistently ―drained‖ from the output plate. The device
―cunningly‖ uses diodes to separate charges, and, specifically, to designate the "E" plate
as the area with the highest concentration of negative charges. From there, the energy is
only allowed to reach "conventional" ground (lower concentration) by flowing through the
primary coil of a transformer whose secondary, isolated, coil powers the load. [ For a
closer look into the Ambient Energy Generator / Capacitor-Transformer, see ―Energy is
FREE – Like the AIR that you breathe‖, found at www.slideboom.com/1649182 ]
Slide 17
Language / Terminology As is frequently the case with inventors, Smith developed a
certain, highly personal, glossary or lexicon to refer to the various items, events and
phenomena he was describing. Among the terms it included were ―flipping‖, ―cycling‖,
―disturbing‖, and ―dislodging‖ of electron ―pairs‖ or ―doublets‖. These last he saw as
electrons in their ―natural‖ ―non-ionic‖ state. (―In coil systems, magnetic and amperage
are one package. This suggests that electrons in their natural non-ionic state, exist as
doublets‖). Once ―disturbed‖, each of the components of the ―doublet‖ will emit a charge;
one, electric, the other, magnetic. The electrical charge has virtually no value, Smith
firmly states, using another of his trademark expressions: it ―dies a heat death‖ in short
order.
Slide 18
The magnetic charge, however, more than compensates. In the form of ―magnetic
resonance‖, it is oblivious to ―Ohmic resistance‖ and ―can travel unrestricted for great
distances‖. When these units of magnetic flux are ―deflected‖ (another Smith-ism, which
roughly translates as ―intercepted at 90 degrees‖), they change to electrical flux, which is
eagerly harvested by the conducting components of the system, strategically placed to
perform energy intake (think of a transformer's secondary coil). Each deflected and
harvested charge-let is instantly replaced by another, which promptly suffers the same
fate. The point of deflection becomes the epicenter of a vortex that draws in – and
conveys forward, now in electrical form – millions of these minute charges, ―in much the
same way that a water pump moves water‖. Call it Turbocharged Electromagnetic
Induction. On Steroids.
Slide 19
The Patriot, the Self-Made Man, the Lover of Nature and Humanity Smith was a patriot
who had served his country in several wars. Yet, the government of that selfsame
country ―thumbed its nose‖ at him by refusing to issue him patents for his discoveries
and innovations. (He repeatedly showed to the U.S. Patent Office that their so-called
justification — that they were not in the business of issuing patents to ―over-unity‖
devices — was a lame excuse, given that such well-known devices as dynodes and
Farnsworth‘s multipactor were clearly ―over-unity‖ and had been issued patents). He was
also a child of the Depression, having been born in 1928, just before that tsunami hit.
This would go a long way toward explaining his marked reluctance to give away the fruits
of his labor. To him, everything had required sustained effort and / or willingness to
confront mortal danger (as in war).
Slide 20
Why should he have to give away – as some attendees at his presentations impatiently
demanded – the discoveries he had earned through long hours of dedicated work, not to
mention a strong determination to push on with his research, in defiance of all the
experts (so-called) telling him ―to forget about it‖, that ―this thing would not happen‖? On
the other hand, he was a religious man, and — as many a scientist — deeply enamored
with nature. He also had a love for humanity, the sentiment that Plato called ―agape‖, as
distinct from erotic love. From this standpoint, he passionately emphasized that his
invention removed any conceivable justification for war over resources. With plentiful,
cost-free energy, water could be freely desalinated and / or purified, as well as pumped
over long distances.
Slide 21
This meant that vast tracts of unexploited land could be brought into production. No
place on Earth need be arid. No person on Earth need go hungry. Together, we could
turn our home planet into the land of milk and honey. He thus charted a delicate course
between violating the commitments he had entered into with his industrialist partners —
something he wasn‘t prepared to do — and potentially allowing his discovery to be lost
upon his passing, which he was just as determined to do his utmost to prevent. The
result was his seemingly erratic dissemination of tidbits of information here and there,
made even more difficult to interpret by the devastating cerebrovascular accidents he
suffered, which progressively constrained his ability to communicate.
Slide 22
The Teacher as Master / Initiator A saying attributed to Confucius states: ―Every truth
has four corners: as a teacher I give you one corner, and it is for you to find the other
three‖. It is fairly apparent that, like many a masterful tutor before him, Smith rejected the
idea of dictating solutions in a follow-the-steps fashion. Quite the contrary; he perceived
the function of the teacher as that of a guide, whose role it was to ask pertinent
questions, while providing hints and orientation from his position of greater experience
and formal knowledge. We, the students, were required to take it from there. Resorting
to everything from further study to creative imagination, we'd have to apply our own
mental efforts to find the solution to a problem posed, or to fully grasp new, disruptive,
concepts.

atch?v=HZFW6eA7Nr8&t=460 Addendum – March 1, 2018 Responding to a
request from a dedicated reviewer of our materials, we include the two links on this slide
to show that the inventor already had under his belt the solid state technology at the time
of his third major public appearance, in 1996. ‘96 Tesla Symposium - Part 14 A: (On the
Internet) there‘s disclosure enough that you can do what I‘m doing here, and I might tell
you that what you‘re seeing here is obsolete. I‘m a couple of light years farther down the
line than what you‘re seeing here, but I‘m doing what you‘re seeing because most
people think that you have to have something where you just turn a wall switch on, and
that‘s it. And that‘s to accommodate the wall switch crowd that I‘m doing (this). The thing
is actually presently a solid state device which is very small and does al the things that
these things do, but it‘s a solid state device. ‘96 Tesla Symposium - Part 17 Q: You
mentioned that your latest device is… wouldn‘t be recognizable from that one (points to
Device 3) A: Yes… you wouldn‘t… if you saw it, you wouldn‘t… you wouldn‘t think it
does anything… Q: Well, there must be something that is the same from that board…
looking at that board right there: the coils, perhaps? A: No, there‘s no coils in the… Q:
The capacitors… A: There‘s no capacitors. Q: (laughs) A: I told you you wouldn‘t
recognize it, but it becomes obvious so quick… once you saw it and I explained it to you.
Right now it‘s like trying to explain color TV to American Indians back in eighteen and…
fifties. But, uh, it‘s not that complex. The same rules that apply to what‘s happening here
(indicates Dev 3) told me that you could do this the other way. So I built some of them
and they worked the first time, absolutely perfect. And I can tell you that you can have
hundreds of thousands of volts out of a tiny little matchbox. And at high amperage.
Slide 26
―OK, see that pyramid there? The people in Egypt there, and their pyramids — back
several thousand years before Christ — had energy devices, and what you‘re seeing
there is a photograph of the energy flux in the area of the pyramid, and it‘s enormous.
And the triangular shape is what contributes to that. The base material there would be
one type of mineral – which has electrical characteristics, say, of one type – and then the
pyramid itself is made of another type of material which has a different electrical uh, uh…
component (means characteristic) and between the sand which it‘s sitting on and the
pyramid material, which is a different material, and the triangular shape of it gives us this
energy flux‖. ―Von Däniken built some of the electric light bulbs that were shown in the
pyramids, and they worked. It‘s documented in all your information sources that he
actually shows photographs of electric light bulbs which he‘s duplicated, which look
exactly like the ones the Egyptians were building three thousand years ago. So
electricity‘s been around in useful form for quite a while. We just didn‘t understand it.
We‘re getting to the point where we‘re beginning to understand it… you‘re not ―getting
something for nothing‖, and you‘re not creating anything. You‘re just simply changing it
from one form to another, [magnetic flux to electrical flux] and in that change process
from one form to another you have useful energy… It‘s only when it‘s going from one
form to another that it becomes useful. And you capture it, just like the water running
down from the mountains back to sea level. In between, you put a paddle wheel there…
you‘ve captured the energy. And this is true of all forms of energy; whether it‘s electrical
or whatever‖. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJV-zOtfpaw&t=1218] Addendum
