Terry, all

I`m sure I speak for more than myself, when I ask how it is possible to:

1) build up kilovolts from hundreds of volts,  without a transformer, and

2) contain kilovolts inside the tank, with IGBT as gatekeepers. IGBT`s are 
known to be less than tolerant to overvoltage. Why don`t they blow due to 
overvoltage?

Cheers, Finn Hammer
