Finally, my SSTC (Solid State Tesla Coil) is working. My Driver Board and Interrupter Board have been working fine all along it has just been my high power side - the half H-Bridge board. I have burned out many MOSFET's trying to get the Half H-Bridge Board to work, my last test (less than a week ago) burned out 2 MOSFET's - I think it may have been due to overheating.
After re-designing my H-Bridge Board again and adding heat sinks (cut from an old CPU chip heat sink) and a cooling fan - it all finally works - no overheating, no magic smoke being released just nice plasma from the coil.
