Don Smith meet Eric Dollard

There can be no doubt that Eric P. Dollard is a genius. Don Smith has confirmed, for me, a theory I have had for a long time now and expressed in another thread by Armagdn about a capacitive spring. This would be the full realization of my capacitive electron pump. I believe I have found a perfect marriage of two technologies from Dollard and Smith. Let's start with Dollard's analog transmisson model. A normal power transmission line has distributed inductance and capacitance. Dollard turned the distibuted inductance and capacitance upside down.

Not only is his new model a voltage multiplier but it phase shifts the current so that when the voltage is at its peak, so is the current. This is the opposite of what happens in your house everyday where the voltage is low when the current is greatest and the current is low when the voltage is at it's peak. With enough stages you have a high frequency, high voltage supply with properly phased current. Perfect for many things including banging electrons against a capacitor or tank circuit. It might even be the best power supply for the Don Smith coil source replications everyone is building. I can't understand why no one has developed this particular technology to it's full potential. If ever anything needs to be replicated; it is this. In a Don Smith video, he demonstrates the use of high voltage connected to one of the large flat plates of a simple homebuilt capacitor. He shows that you can use a grounded wire and draw a brush discharge off of the opposing plate. He explains that all of the energy on the first plate stays on the first plate. When you are building a transistor amplifier you design the dc blocking capacitor and bypass resistor so that the impedance due to capacitive reactance at the signal frequency you want to pass is less than the bypass resistor.

The dc is shunted to ground and the signal, following the path of least resistance passes through the capacitor and is amplified by the transistor. WRONG! What really happens is that the signal is induced onto the other side of the capacitor making a carbon copy of the signal on the other side. If it were any other way, the signal would be inverted. Before you say it, the inverted amplified signal is a function of the transistor, not the capacitor.

A perfect example of induced charge can be seen by use of the electrophorous. Bringing a conductor in close proximity of a charged insulator will cause a separation of charge.Touching the top of the conductor will remove one charge, the carbon copy. The opposite charge remains. Raising the conductor will now raise the voltage according to the charge formula which equals C * V. The capacitance lowers so the voltage goes up. In addition, the work done to raise the conductor is reflected by the energy formula .5 * C * Vsquared. After discharging the conductor again, the process can be repeated over and over and over without ever changing the charge on the insulator. The same thing happens when you connect a high voltage to one and only one plate of a capacitor. The electric field will be induced onto the other plate and a separation of charge will occur. What happens if you place a third plate close to the second plate and then a fourth next to it and so on and on. The same electric field will be induced on each and every plate along with the inherent charge separation. I thought Don Smith was a quack when I heard him say that with one plate as transmitter you could utilize the energy from as many receiver plates as you wanted to make and it wouldn't affect the transmitter plate. I thought he meant to connect the same high voltage source to a plurality of capacitors and that simply won't work in a manner that will give you free energy.

Then the truth and meaning of what he was trying to convey finally sunk in. One plate charged with a high voltage source can induce that charge onto another plate which can induce it's charge onto another plate...etc..etc..etc.

Perhaps, when you first look at the above diagram you will think that there is nothing to be gained here and you may be right. I believe there is a way to utilize this with great advantage. Using an oscillator such as a hartley or negistor connected to Dollard's multiplier network, we allow the network to self-determine the the oscillator's frequency perfectly matching the resonant frequency of the network. And we all know what happens at resonance. For the most part the only energy used is due to resistive heating. The inductors and capacitors dissipate very little energy. It is a highly efficient, capacitor, coil, or tank banging power supply. It's something or it's nothing....you tell me! My first priority is to figure out how to make the right value components to make the Dollard network resonate at audio frequencies so I can use a frequency generator on my computer with my bridgeable power amp to see if it does what I think it does to those plates.
