[Zach Armstrong] presents for your viewing pleasure a simple guide to building a solid-state Tesla coil. The design is based around a self-resonant setup using the UCC2742x gate driver IC ...

Tesla coil is very strong radio transmitter, and 1.7MHz is not free to use. It is above MW broadcast band and bellow amateur 160m band, in the area used by various coast guards which won’t be happy.

This experiment may not be a traditional spark-gap Tesla coil, but it demonstrates the core principles of a solid-state Tesla coil. With basic components like a transistor, LED, resistors ...
