High speed ZVS driver

Started working on this idea for a high speed ZVS driver over a month ago, Sometimes it is nice just to solve a problem for your self. Did not do a google search until after I got it kind of working, found out only one other person thought of something similar before me. Now I finally got it working very well and I want to share. Originally I tried to put the mosfet driver between the transistor gates but, That did not work at all. Tried it on only one transistor and it did work, but could not figure out why it would not on both. I believe it was the voltage drop from the diodes and that the IC has a threshold of around 2 volts.

Main goal was to switch the gates faster than the original schematic and lower amount of power wasted.
