Steve Ward Micro SSTC schematic: a 30 V Tesla coil on one gate driver chip

“Incredibly simple compared to a typical SSTC”: a 25 V transformer, a 12 V regulator, and a single gate-driver chip acting as comparator, amplifier and driver at once, fed by an antenna. A push button injects the first pulse. Nine years later this is the circuit loneoceans' SSTC 1 descends from, through Rob Bryon's version of it.
