pancake coil nice and compact I love it now I need to build one with a 10;1000turn insulated that can handle 30-200kv 1.6kw input I need to get a replacement voltage booster for my zvs I sadly blew it out years ago be for i got into fusion. ill have to do spark gapped with my hv supply I have then see how my plasma chamber handles it. now x-ray glasses on, welding mask down, lead /aluminum positive charge shield up. battery charged, materials gathering, rebuilding capacitor's, coiling wire.......................................................ugh , installing prototype core Fxsit, vacuum system on, battery charged ,high voltage supply on, charge capacitors, prepping fuel intake, filtration system on, fuel system on, shield on, lights off, system is all green....3..2...1..... man I cant wait to see that beautiful fusion glow again but with more power ok I need to get back to winding this coil.. ugh I wont get to see full output till I get the voltage booster replaced.

Can you please tell which mosfet is used and value of resistance

How many windings for secondary? also, could you provide a better schematic? no resistor value or position of base, emitter and collector. also no polarity on battery

Firstly, nice build, however a few things stood out, firstly how come there are two to-220 transistors on the board at 2:20 . are they paralleled up or are you using a fancier push pull driver? Where can I find a schematic of your build? Also what resonance freuqency is it operating at and to what impedance did you design your primary/secondary coil? What current is drawn by the circuit, and what is the efficency? Surely that heatsink is not going to last in CW mode.

I don't mean to come off as rude but i only saw the schematic at the 3:05ish minute mark, the critical values of the parts such as the winding ammount for the primary and secondary coils was sadly not shown, however the description did list the parts used. Also, as for the longevity and stability of the circuit I doubt there will be much gain in this aspect as the 3055 transistor can switch quite high currents, and in fact you may be doing more harm than good if only one biasing resistor is used as the dies can have various gain factors, which will negate the benefit of using two transistors and can lead to a catastrophic failiure from a thermal runaway effect especially on a small heatsink. As for the batteries its cool to have it portable granted, but that creates a difficulty with grounding leeding to smaller breakout. Lastly how exactly are the coils wound? is it a bifilar design or are the primary and secondary coils on other sides of the acrylic?
