Donald Lee Smith came on the electrical energy sceen in the mid 1980s after a very active life in geology and teaching high school science. Since his death over 12 years ago there has been little progress in English forums in replicating his various systems, which is rather a mystery. We have watched the lack of progress with great dissapointment for some years now. About half of the information Don shared with the public relating to Resonance Systems has been online for years. The other half consists in material form his original publications and the two oldest videos that we recently uploaded to YouTube. These videos actually provided the main context for his later videos and the information in the online book and documents floating around. This book fills in the gaps and provides a fuller context. This is all the available Don Smith books, video transcripts, and relevant emails in one place. It has a Systematic Index, regular Index, and many helps to understand Don's technology. It lists and illustrates all the models shown with many color pages. We hope this book will bring order to the existing chaos, and give people the practical tools to learn how to use everyday parts all around them to provide for their energy needs. It is really that simple. The problem is getting past bias and disinformation.

Taloesitteet pinoutuivat vaivihkaa keittiönpöydälle ja omakotitalon rakentaminen alkoi näyttäytyä toteutettavissa olevalta projektilta. Niinpä tartuimme toimeen, nostimme pinon päällimmäiseksi hirsitaloesitteen ja aloimme järjestelemään elämäämme unelman mukaisesti.Työmaalla vietettiin lopulta kolme vuotta. Tavoitteena oli rakentaa terveellinen talo mahdollisimman paljon itse tehden. Toki leikkiin ryhtyessä oli tiedossa, että rakennusprojekti vie aikaa ja voimia.Kirja opastaa kiertoteitä rakennusajan kompastuskiville sekä tarjoaa vinkkejä, kuinka varautua rakentamisen aikaisiin haasteisiin ja säästää budjetissa.Entä kun rakennuspöly on laskeutunut ja rakennusaikaa voi katsoa taaksepäin elämän yhtenä ajanjaksona, jalat oikaistuna sohvalle takkatulen ääressä? Oliko kaikki puurtamisen ja tuhansien työmaalla vietettyjen tuntien arvoista?
