This is part 3 of my video series on designing and building a Solid State Tesla Coil (SSTC).

Part 2:

In this video I'll show the following:
-How to build a full H-bridge driver
-How to use secondary coil current as feedback to drive the primary coil
-How to adjust the phase of the driver to maximize output power
-Results of running the coil off mains (120VAC) instead of 30V DC
Hardware used is mostly the same as part II, with a few differences:
-IXTQ36N30P 300V / 36A MOSFETs for the H-bridge
-2200 uF 400V Filter Capacitor for mains voltage
-BOTH sides of the gate drive transformer primary have DC blocking capacitors. Having DC blocking on only one side caused some weird level shifting problems that resulted in erratic output.
-300A/1600V Bridge Rectifier (massive overkill, but i happened to have it already)
