Abstract – The solid state Tesla coil is a recently-
discovered high voltage power supply. It has
similarities to both the traditional Tesla coil and to
the modern switched-mode flyback converter. This
report will document the design, operation, and
construction of such a system. Possible industrial
applications for the device will also be considered.

The magnetizing current should also be calculated.
A class E Tesla coil was also constructed as part of
this project, although it was not as successful as the
H-bridge coil in the previous section.
