Hey List,
      I think I am finally ready to tackle the DRSSTC beast (thanks to
encouragement from my wife actually) and wanted to know where the best
resources were for theory of operation and practical design considerations.
I'm an RF design engineer by profession and am interested in highly
technical information. I did some light searching through the archives and
came across some of Steve Ward's work and a pretty good website called
www.loneoceans.com. I am also interested in audio modulation of this type
of coil and ways of improving audio fidelity if possible. Thank you all in
advance!

Most of the material deals on how to design the primary-secondary system so it operates as a regular Tesla coil, but excited from a driver oscillator instead of using the initial energy stored in the primary capacitor. The basic design leads to maximum ideal efficiency for a given burst length. Streamer loading causes deviation from the ideal behavior, but the ideal design seems to be a good starting point, to be adjusted by fine tuning.
