Tesla Coil Racing Sparks Burned Into Secondary Coil

I noticed that racing sparks have burned themself into the surface of the varnish on the secondary coil of my first DRSSTC. This Tesla coil have seen the most use, both indoor and outdoor, have experienced lots of racing sparks and despite the abuse, runs very well. On a cold day, I breathed on the […]

IGBT Gate Drive Transformer (GDT) Design, Construction and Test

A guide on how to calculate gate drive transformer, how to wind gate drive transformers and test gate drive transformers. Gate drive transformers are also called GDT for short. The most important aspects is insuring low leakage inductance, no core saturation and having enough peak drive current available for your MOSFETs or IGBTs. This video
