Steve Ward DRSSTC-2: the first solid state Tesla coil past ten feet

first solid-state coil past 10 ft · Jun 2004 to Jul 2006

“I would be the first to make a SSTC break the 10 foot mark! Actually, to be honest, I hoped for 9 feet… but first light produced over 10 feet from a non-tweaked system!” Larger IGBT bricks, and the explicit aim of teaching “those spark gappers a lesson in solid state engineering.” He told the Tesla list on 17 Jun 2004, still calling it his ISSTC II: “at least I think I'm the first” to 10 ft from a solid-state coil.
