“…This restricts the maximum attainable output voltage and reduces efficiency. Basak et al [4] solved these issues by employing a magnetic core with high saturation flux density and low hysteresis loss. Metglas 2605SA1 was used as the core with fine laminations to reduce the eddy current loss.…”

This paper presents the design, simulation, and implementation of a solid state Tesla coil (SSTC) with music playback functionality through its arcs. It showcases various circuit designs that explore both feedback and non-feedback-based control mechanisms. The non-feedback based mechanism relies on an external oscillator circuit based on NE555 timer IC to drive the Tesla transformer coil at its resonance and the feedback based system relies on the selective amplification of a certain frequency at which the secondary coil is self-resonant. Additionally, to produce tones from the Tesla coil's arcs, this paper implements a fixed gate signal interrupter circuit design that produces specific tones, as well as a music-based gate signal interrupter circuit design that produces music from the arcs. To verify the functionality of the design, the designed circuits were simulated in the LTspice SPICE simulation software and then implemented on a prototype board followed by a four-layer printed circuit board implementation. The primary coil of the Tesla transformer was controlled using an insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) based half bridge circuit.

The pulse trigger generator exerts a significant impact on the Marx generator’s output pulse (OP). In this paper, a pulse transformer (PT)-type trigger device is intended to give a pulse of front steepness below 30 ns, a half-width of more than 300 ns, and a magnitude of 50 kV to a 4 MV Marx generator. A steepening circuit is modeled on the output side of the PT equivalent circuit to reduce the OP front steepness, establishing the model of a closed-core PT-type trigger generator. The influence of distributed capacitance and leakage inductance (parasitic parameters) of the PT winding on the OP magnitude, triggering delay time, and front steepness are analyzed, and the design scheme of the PT is decided accordingly. Then, the pulse trigger generator model is simulated, and the trigger pulses are obtained in accordance with the design index. The OP waveforms are tested using a newly developed pulse trigger device prototype.
