What did that I-pod do to you?
It died a while back while playing music on my audio modulated flyback, it wasn't designed for high voltage transients :D

very nice work! . FETs dont explodes?
I have only blown MOSFETs when it was a halfbridge, and that was mostly because I made some mistakes, that you can read here:
the fullbridge is only passive cooled, no heating at all when running in interrupted or audio modulated mode, but in continues wave mode they get too hot to touch in a minute or two.
I get flashovers from primary to secondary before MOSFET failures it seems :)

Looking good madskaizer, the video you made of this coil is one of the primary reasons I opted for an SSTC project instead of a VTTC one. Congrats on a great running SSTC.
How many FETs did you sacrifice to the lightning gods? :)
I like the topload, how much did it cost, those fancy pans are quite expensive I suppose?

I only blew FETS on this coil when it was still a halfbrigde configuration, now its fullbridge and have yet to blow. As a halfbridge I blew like 4 or 6, mostly due to too high voltages on the brigde.
I found these pans in a supermarket at only 10$/7€ a piece, so I felt it was worth it to get two

That was a very nice deal for a topload of that quality. I was always under the impression that all pots and pans were quite expensive, especially ones as nice as those.
Post up a new video after you clear your desk and get it running. ;D The coil is definitely looking good.
