All details are in the website article: Link2

For the future: use it for something else than cooking water, which could properly prove hard from the quasi-resonant topology and the, still unknown, microcontroller.

Annealing superconductors maybe?

Nice teardown, and explanation. The switch voltage waveform looks like textbook Class-E shape.

It really did turn out as a textbook example, I did not show it in the video, but depending on different loads it also acts as predicted there, with some various DC offset in the negative part and changing voltage waveform.

I still try to find time for both HV and 3 year old daughter :)
