I got it working and the sparks are relatively impressive compared to other drivers I have made, but the arcs I'm getting seem a lot lower current and colder than pretty much every video I have seen of the ZVS driver. I used the Mazzilli ZVS schematic, and ...<br/>By: <a href="http://www.instructables.com/member/Higgs+Boson/">Higgs Boson</a><br><br><a href="http://www.instructables.com/answers/ZVS-driver-not-working-effecitently/">Continue Reading &raquo;</a>]]></description>
