 		you want the sch for flyback driver or SGTC?
just google "SGTC" or "zvs" you'll get some result.

 		You'll need to use a fairly high-powered flyback driver to get good results.
Also, it is against forum rules to ask for complete schematics.

 		I want to make a small SGTC from a flyback , and the flyback will be powered using a 60watt SMPS.

As I cant make any other drivers at the moment.

 		I highly recommend 'deep fried neon', as well as a google search on tesla coil design to get you started with basic theory and design.

To get the most out of the forum (IMHO) you need to ask more specific questions. It's certainly doable, but 60 W may be pushing things a little low:

 		Do you know where I can 'harvest' wire for the secondary?

 		I'm very happy right now as I have just constructed a very small VERY! low power SGTC.

Although it works, it is HIGHLY inefficient.

To power it I used a 11watt tesco CFL ballast, the ca used was a 1kv rated cap, the spark gap was consisted of two multimeter probes tuned for the best sparks, and the secondary was wound by me, and I mean it's SHIT, so shit that there were heaps of wire in oarts of the coil, and there was corana forming around the secondary, I dont knwo how many turns, over 300 though and the primary coil was 3 turns of live mains wire, just live not ground neatural and live together.


I still have loads of wire left over from where I got the secondary wire (electron gun focusing coil) I'm going to make a much more efficient one, I will take my time winding the secondary coil and will up the 11 watt power source to 105watt.
