Sheppard-Talyor circuit up on my website

Its under the "Coil Corner" link with the rest of the Tesla stuff.  Its
such a neat idea for a converter, I think I am becoming obsessed with
getting it to work.  Here how it is supposed to work (i.e. no explosions
of MOSFets):

1.  120*1.414 Volts charge up the 0.1uF storage cap to Vc through the
160uH inductor and two diodes at t=0.  Then at some point, both FETs
turn on simulaneously, reverse bias the diodes, and dump -Vc through the
third diode to the output transformer.  The inductor keeps the two fets
from drawing infinite current when turned on during the short pulse. 
The cycle then repeats.

2. I've read numerous accolades of how this circuit produces low stress
on the components, unity power factor, and low EMI.  I'd love to know
how they did it, or what I am doing wrong.
