Steve Ward Class-E SSTC: a single-switch solid state Tesla coil

after Richie Burnett's 4 MHz coil · May 2005

“After seeing Richie's 4mhz SSTC and reading about Class-E operation, I decided it was time to employ this with the little SSTC.” The micro was already almost Class-E without knowing it. The 2.2 nF across the MOSFET was just too small. A voltage doubler to 70 V, a 555 interrupting at 30 Hz, and 5 in sparks.
