Nice design. What does your work coil look like? One neat trick I have seen is using a small mosfet instead of the diodes (D2 and D3 in your design): Connect the gate to 15V, source to the gate of the main mosfet and drain to drain of the opposite mosfet. So the gate voltage follows the drain voltage as long it is below ~13V. Using this method all the gate drive power is derived from the tank circuit. So you don't need any pullup resistor or the addional gate drive stage. The only drawback is, the 15V auxiliary supply must be present before the main voltage is applied, otherwise it may no start up correctly. |

Cute, but how is it different from the cheap junk one made in China? Is this one safe from exploding when the coil is open or short circuited? Does it have power control? Can it be scaled up to practical sizes (10kW+)? Tim |

It looks like you are not using any water cooling for the work coil. Can you use it for several minutes without overheating? |
