All,
This post mentions both Aron Koscho and Justin Hays.
I seeem to remember that between them, they together, if not actually
_invented_ the H-bridge driven SSTC, then at least were the persons to
actually develop it and bring it to the attention of the average coiler
at the time, being 2003:
An example post:
https://www.pupman.com/listarchives/2003/March/msg00606.html
It was also one of the two who accidentally mounted a too small DC
blocking capacitor in the primary circuit, and thus invented the DRSSTC.
This is all long ago, but they are both seasoned heroes of the collective
solid state tesla coil development effort.
Correct me if I am mistaken.
Cheers, Finn Hammer
