  1. ExtraOrdinary Science, Vol. VIII, Issue 2, April/May/June 1996 (official magazine of the International Tesla Society), Smith's article "Electrical Energy System" [web: https://archive.org/details/electrical-energy-system-extra-ordinary-science-magazine ; uploaded 2020-05-13 with the note "Don's article from 1996 issue of ExtraOrdinary Science magazine"; saved as files/1996-ExtraOrdinary-Science-Electrical-Energy-System.pdf (9 pp., image only) and its OCR _djvu.txt]. - The issue's inside cover prints the 1996 International Tesla Symposium programme, Colorado Springs Sheraton, July 18-21, 1996, with "Workshops ... THURSDAY--July 18 Morning (9:00-12:00): Don Smith, Free Energy Device" [read: files/..._djvu.txt, lines 95-101]. This dates the "suitcase" workshop (see energyevo note) to 18 July 1996. - The article is a published (1996) version of the "cycles per second squared" essay in the binder (pp.37-53). Page 37 of the magazine [read: page image p.7 of the PDF]: example A "Given 60CPS at 120 Volts using 10 microfarad Capacitor, Joules = 0.5 x 000.010 x 120^2 x CPS^2 = .072 x 3,600 = 259.2" (internally correct: 0.5 x 10^-5 x 14,400 = 0.072; x 60^2 = 259.2); example B "Given One Million Cycles per second at 100,000 Volts, using a 10 microfarad Capacitor. Joules = 0.5 x 000,010 x 100,000^2 x CPS^2 = 500 x One Million squared. The useful electrical energy available is more than 500 MegaJoules [Watts] plus." - Difference from the binder version: the binder's example B ends "greater than 50 Mega K-Joules" with the last line blank (deep read). The 1996 print has "500 x One Million squared" and "more than 500 MegaJoules". Arithmetic on the printed formula: 0.5 x 10^-5 x 10^10 = 5 x 10^4 (not 500), and x (10^6)^2 gives 5 x 10^16 J; "500 x One Million squared" is 5 x 10^14; "500 MegaJoules" is 5 x 10^8 J. The three numbers disagree with one another. Reported for the mathematician; no judgement here. - Same page, box "Benefits of the Inventors System are summarized" (7 items) adds: "The physical size of the System [Device] is small. The Device describe in 'B' sits comfortably on a breakfast table" and "A small energy source is used to start the device and remains fully charged at all times from the System" [read: page image p.7]. Box "The Evidence Against Under Unity" (9 items) contains the Patent Office "metering group" argument (claim 7) [read: page image p.7].
  2. "Resonance Energy Methods By Donald L Smith", archive.org item 24739145ResonanceEnergyMethodsByDonaldLSmith, uploaded 2013-03-24, PDF 43 MB, "119 pages" per Google [web: https://archive.org/details/24739145ResonanceEnergyMethodsByDonaldLSmith ; OCR saved as files/Resonance-Energy-Methods-119p_djvu.txt]. - It contains the same binder text as the project's 96-page PDF (cover letter, Dipole Transformer Generator, speech, builders guide, unit tables) and then, from about line 8,505 of the OCR, Patrick Kelly's chapter on Don Smith ("Don Smith. One of most impressive developers of free-energy devices is Don Smith ...", ending with Kelly's name and web sites) [read: files/Resonance-Energy-Methods-119p_djvu.txt]. The extra pages are Kelly's secondary material, not more Smith originals, as far as the OCR shows. - Inside the Kelly part, a passage in Smith's voice (source not given): "The information shown above, relates to the small Suitcase Model demonstrated at the 1996 Tesla Convention, presented as Don Smiths' Workshop. This unit was a very primitive version and newer versions have atomic batteries and power output ranges of Gigawatts ... Commercial units of Boulder Dam size are currently being installed at several major locations throughout the world. For reasons of Don's personal security and contract obligations, the information which he has shared here, is incomplete." [read: lines 9237-9241]. These are claims with no location, customer or date named. - Smith's web sites and e-mail named in the compilation: "www.altenergy-pro.com", http://www.28an.com/altenergypro/index.htm, and a nuenergy.org image path "iw/2003 ... smith" [read: OCR lines 397, 439 and URL list]. The cover letter says devices "can be viewed by the Web Site" [read: line 301].
