Back to Magic Cube

The principles governing the Smith Cell within the NuForce Magic Cube operate as an innovative synthesis of simplicity and complexity. With its design based on a modest yet creative application of materials, the Smith Cell addresses aspects of electromagnetism that scientific research has only recently documented. A novel arrangement of permanent-magnet (PM) and signal-carrying materials comprise the key to the Smith Cell's effectiveness.

PMs have been long and widely applied in a variety of audio devices. Our observations suggest that certain usages invite signal degradation ? for example, speaker and cable formulations that run the risk of distortion resulting from signal-induced magnetic fields interacting with PM materials. These misapplications likewise reduce the intensity of desired effects and can even produce asymmetry in the signal's waveform. The Smith Cell defeats the possibility of any such distortion as it optimizes the targeted signal's intensity.

The Smith Cell's fundamental function spin-polarizes the signal current's primary axis. As a byproduct of the powerful magnetic field developed within the cell, spin polarization strips away secondary phonon* modulation (1/f noise, phase distortion, etc.) inherent within the signal during its passage through conductors, as well as that of associated electronic circuits in the signal path.

This process would be of little value or interest if beneficial effects were not also transmitted along the length of the conductors connected to either side of the Cell. If it were otherwise, thermal phonon vibrations within the conductors would simply re-modulate after their departure from the cell's vicinity, thus nullifying its effect. The extension of the Smith Cell's spin-polarizing effect along the conductor's length is a complex process the explanation of which exceeds our brief essay's scope.

Simply put, the Smith Cell averts signal-current-induced distortion as it optimizes electron spin-polarization. In essence, the magnetic material imparts a spin-polarizing force upon the electrons while preventing a reverse force.

Faraday's Induction Law suggests that this is impossible. However, the German physicist Christian Monstein's research has shown that such need not be the case. Since Monstein's initial experiments, the Monstein Effect has been reproduced in laboratories worldwide, along with other examples of experimental validation. The well-documented Aharonov–Bohm Effect and Faraday's century-old Homopolar Generator seem to be based on the same underlying phenomena, commonly referred to as the Scalar Field. Critics of conventional wisdom point out that before the British physicist Oliver Heaviside's research, James Clerk Maxwell's original EM wave equations hinted at the Monstein Effect's existence. It has also been suggested that in his later years, the mysterious genius Nicola Tesla was working with Scalar EM waves long before others had conceived of their existence.

While theories abound and debate rages on, experimental evidence such as the Monstein and Aharonov–Bohm Effects stand as eloquent testimony to the points we make here. Whether due to Scalar EM fields or otherwise, the Monstein Effect is a richly documented phenomenon. The Smith Cell puts the above-described effects to excellent use in its optimization of spin-polarization as a means of achieving superior signal fidelity in a manner far more sophisticated than less innovative devices.
