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 […]

8000FPS Slow Motion Tesla Coil Spark Formation and Collapsing Hot Spots

Slow motion Tesla Coil recordings of SSTC sparks. Recorded at 8000 frames per second and replayed at 15-30 frames per second. Notice the step leader, known from natural lightning strikes and the hot spots that might be forming from collapsing plasma channels.

How I came to build a 4 meter spark generating Tesla coil, a technical story from 2008 to 2016.

Here is the recording of the live stream I did on 2018 January 31, Wednesday at 2000 CET, I performed a live stream on youtube to talk about how I started building Tesla coils, the journey that went on for 8 years which ended with me having a 3 meter tall Tesla coil that can
