Yes, there are now many in the so-called crowd. But really, I would have
never been compelled if it wasn't for Steve Ward's vary good
documentation on his web-site (that has fallen aside, as you try to
break every record around! ;-)). Now Dan is starting an "open-source"
high power DRSSTC project! Kudos to those who are the innovators and
master engineers!
  I have been contemplating a project that really will be more in the
Fusor realm, but has its roots here with the Solid State Tesla stuff.
Mostly, a way of creating a HV DC supply, but I will talk more about
that later (still not sure if it will be feasible).
  At any rate my website will be down till I rebuild (upgrade) my server
starting tonight...

And don't forget that the DRSSTC work isn't limited to just a "Member's
Only" club involving Jimmy Hynes and Steve Ward.
There are other individuals out there who are further pioneering the
technology as well.

Follow Steve Conner's and Antonio's discussions here on the TCML
regarding
the operational theory of the DRSSTC.  Steve Conner
has already drafted a DRSSTC specific design formula.

Other member's DRSSTC sites:

RayeR's DRSSTC page:
http://rayer.wz.cz/teslatr/sstce.htm

Jason J's DRSSTC page:
http://www.users.tpg-dot-com.au/jasonj1/drsstc.htm

And a few others as well but can't seem to locate their webpages.

There are also lots of DRSSTC discussions ongoing (and past) on the
www.4hV-dot-org forums if you want more detailed information / photos /
etc...
of DRSSTC coils (especially by those who do not have personal websites)
