I'm not into transitor coils (at least not yet), but I noticed an
announcement
from Harris corp for the HGTP7N60N3 family - they say they are rated at
7amps
600 volts with losses in the 50 to 100 Khz range that are "competitive
with or
lower than more expensive mosfets". IT would seem to me that a pair of
these
babies in a push/pull configuration could put some pretty good primary
energy
- let's see, 1200 volts (peak) at 7 amps is 8.4 peak KW, that ought to
be
enough to create some nice sparks, although if I read the list right,
the
100Khz listed may be a bit low compared to the 300Khz most of the
measured
coils seem to run at.
anyway, harris is at www.semi.harris-dot-com if you are interested.
