FIRST LIGHT: Solid State Tesla Coil

["Tesla list" <tesla-at-pupman-dot-com>]

Finnaly got it working, had to replace the MOSFETs with IGBTs and now it 
works great,  spark length should be doubled when I remove some of the 
primary windings.
Pictures!

A strange squealing can be heard in that video, probably the RF acting upon 
my digital camera...
