In order to not interfere with Jagau's experiments with Dr. Stiffler's SEC technology which have many things in common with what Don Smith named "The Don Smith Effect" I'm starting in parallel with Jagau my own experiments with Don Smith's tech.

If this experiment is successful maybe we can unify the technologies these two great teachers demonstrated to us.

So below is my first post in this related thread here.

Adding this for later reference, just in case it will be necessary to use high-voltage: Don Smith was using neon transformers like Bertonee NPS-12D8S and NPS-12D10S, the company seems to be named now Ventex Technology.

 

NPS-12D10S was renamed to VT 3015S-12:

Thanks will buy these too. I suspect that these are something like a Marx generator and not a flyback or a Tesla transformer like Don said, output is DC and they are of the category 'electric' not 'magnetic'.

Hi,

I will not buy it yet.

I just added it as a reference for later if needed but hopefully I will obtain the effect without needing high-voltage.

Adding more info here for later references.

Please consider this kind of posts I make here as personal notes about important things related to the Don Smith Effect as I do my "homework" for this experiment.

Hello,

I started testing the switching module of the device.

Before using it to pulse the coils I wanted to see how it works (including visual check and oscilloscope check) with a LED lamp and voltage booster's output set temporary to 10V:

And below are some images made during the checks. On the right-bottom corner of each image I added small images taken from the signal generator showing its parameters during the test:

In the tests above I used AMP=6V on the signal generator and seems the MOSFET is not switching well with that parameter.

I was looking for the parameter I used for switching in ZPM experiments and I saw there I used AMP=20V.

So I increased the AMP voltage to 12V and seems the MOSFET is switching better:

The switching doesn't look as I expected, especially when current is insignificant with this LED lamp.

There seem to be some ripples when the MOSFET is off, could be the influence of the voltage booster, the diode... I don't know yet but I'll see.

I wonder how the it will work having the coil as real load.

Maybe that capacitor on the output of the voltage booster is necessary but I'm trying to avoid it as by doing that I will lose the advantage of the adjustable output voltage of the voltage booster.

For now I don't have time to experiment with the coil but as soon as it's possible I'll test it and I'll post the updates here.

Regards,

Fighter

Hello,

I tested the device with the coil connected and the switching module is working as expected now, the signal is clear (no distortions):

As seen in the video, based on the check I've made with my Field Tester there seems to be a significant amount of energy available inside the coil.

For now the device is starting to look and behave like what I saw in Don Smith's experiments: I see about 500Vpp (point-to-point) for just 1% duty-cycle and a lot of ringing of the coil for a while after the MOSFET is turned off. 

It's a good first step.

The MOSFET is a just a bit warm, for now I don't think it requires a radiator.

This image contains the scope readings and the signal generator parameters as seen in the video above:

And this image is showing the consumption of just the voltage booster alone (with the MOSFET turned off, see the signal generator turned off):

While playing with the device I noticed I can decrease the input very much (from ~140mA to just ~46mA) by decreasing the AMP parameter on the signal generator from 12V to 8V and we still have ~390Vpp in the coil which is very good:

Let's keep in mind that the consumption of the voltage booster alone is 30mA so we'll getting these ~390Vpp in the coil with just ~16mA.

Another way to decrease the consumption is to increase the frequency but that will result in proportionally decreasing the Vpp in the coil.

Now the remaining question is if the input is affected or not when we extract that energy we see in the video around the coil and especially inside the coil.

I need to start building the extraction module: the variable capacitors fixed on their mobile supports, wires connected to them, some tubes connected to their axis so I can rotate their axis from outside while they're placed deep inside the coil, more specific this (as seen in the red rectangle):

These parts of the device are still pending, I'll try to find time to build them and I'll post updates here when they're ready.

Regards,

Fighter

Nice job. The 1Hz oscillation looks interesting, you could have tried it with a variable single shot pulse, or an even lower repetition rate and see how long the hf oscillation sustains.

Replying To: Shelfordella

Thank you.

Yes, that must be investigated.

According to Don Smith the coil should work at its natural resonance frequency and I'm pretty sure the 1 KHz is not its natural resonance frequency. But I did a very brief manual frequency sweep in steps of 1 KHz and I didn't found another frequency doing what this 1 KHz frequency does.

It doesn't mean that frequency doesn't exist, it means more investigation is needed during the incoming experiments.

There are methods of finding a coil's natural resonance frequency, at some point Cd_Sharp asked me to find the natural resonance frequencies for ZPM's coils here.

I need to do the same with this coil, something like this:

There are many configurations which could be investigated in these experiments, the good thing is I've made the device modular with easily interchangeable parts so anytime is needed I can just build a new coil on another coil support and just mount it on the device. That's why I designed and built the device in this way, the effort will pay off during the experiments.

Regards,

Fighter

An advice (translated from Romanian language) I received as a comment of the video above which I posted on my YouTube channel:

Congratulations Aurelian, try to use in the Mosfet SIC with the lowest TRoff, driven from the Mosfet Driver, the signal generator has too little current to quickly open the Mosfet and when closing it does not give it a -5V signal for quick closing, this is the most important specification to obtain Vacuum Energy

My reply:

Thanks for the advice, I have some new pieces of Cree WolfSpeed C2M0160120D-ND from the experiments with ZPM, do you think it would be suitable or do you have another recommendation? If not I will look for others with TRoff as low as possible. Photos of C2M0160120D-ND since I got them: https://www.beyondunity.org/thread/romanian-zpm-zero-point-module/?p=18&order=all#comment-5e854216-f0eb-4230-876f%20-afa700e18240

Thanks to Popescu George Bogdan, I appreciate.

Fighter

A very good configuration for a MOSFET gate driver

is the Totem pole configuration with 2 BJT like here in this video.
