I literally used one large 6.5" inductor for making the spikes, and then I used capacitors around the FET drain and source (the point of break), as Tesla did with his spark gap, to allow the inductive spike alone, to pass through the caps, to a second inductor 1"-1.5" in diameter. This second toroidal inductor had the primary and secondary wound as a 1:1 (8 or 9 turns each) relation. On the secondary I placed a rectifier and a pF or nF home made high voltage cap, in parallel. Attached after this was a test neon bulb.
I really need to dig up my old posts on the closed forum with these details as there are a lot. I also drew up a diagram of the circuit which is easier to understand than all this babble. At any rate, I literally copied Tesla's high frequency current patent 568,176 , but I used a solid state pwm in place of the disruptive discharge portion of the circuit (that is the capacitor and spark gap combined). Give me a few days to try to dig up further details as I have a visitor here until Sunday, and I'll want to possibly format and clarify things.
This area of work by Tesla is literally the holy grail that every one wants. He probably figured out even more that he did not publish simply due to him getting shut out of academia, main stream science, and commercial production after he gave the 3 lectures which are listed in that book.
Patience and perseverance!
