For those who would like a schematic of my MOSFET driver for my 
stand-alone magnifier, here are several references which you may be 
interested in checking out while I cut-and-paste a schematic together 
(yet here I am on a Power-Mac clone- and no CAD):

1. Bylund, Duane; "Solid State Tesla Coil"; Radio Electronics; Sept 
1991; p. 33.  (the orginal inspiration for my driver and coil)  

2.  Sloan, David: "A Radiofrequency High Voltage Generator"; Physical 
Review; Vol 47, Jan 1935; p. 62.  (the first/basic vacuum-tube Tesla 
coil reference)

3. JD Craggs and JM Meeks; High Voltage Laboratory Techniques (book); 
Butterworths, London, 1954; p. 93.  (hard to find book is a wealth of 
info on all HV topics, but has chapter on resonant coils)

tesla coils, without the need for the expensive instrumentation 
associated with extremely high voltages)

I hope this info will spur some to spend some time at the local 
university library.  There are alot of papers contained in the 
bibliographies of the above works that I was unable to obtain.  I 
understand that some from this list are in Bay area of Ca.- my old 
haunt, Bechtel Eng. Library at Berkeley, should have just about 
everything.  Good luck.  Rob.
