hi i am new here and i want to build a drsstc. i started in hvcomm but since not many people gave much attention i made a account. i am going to start slowly so i am starting with gate drive transformer i think it looks pretty good. here is a pic of it.

The type of metal determines how much magnetic flux it can hold, and how fast the material will allow the field in it to be changed. Here is a rendering I have made that shows the basic idea of GDT construction http://wiki.4hv.org/index.php/Image:GDTWinding.png One coil is driven, the other 4 connet to MOSFETs or IGBTs. For more details see

does twisting the 5 wires together reduce the amount of leakage?

No, it's not. I would suggest you to first read some theory, and if this is your first coil ever, I would start with something much less complex - such as a spark gap coil or a simple SSTC.

I made a driver for the GDT Is this a good waveform?
That is not a square wave, so no.

That has way too much thermal paste and is not even mounted. would not even bother with heatsinking it until you have tested its waveforms to be suitable
