Super High Voltage ZVS Driver tesla coil!

I was right! Adding another string of capacitors allowed me to take the voltage higher! Last time I could only go up to about 230VDC input this time I was able to take it up to almost 270VDC. I have one final test to see if I can hit 300VDC. The IGBT's are rated to 1200V so the theoretical absolute maximum input voltage should be about 380VDC, but 300VDC is good enough for me because the IGBT's use are in short supply and I only have 2 shots left!

This video was shot from a different perspective using another camera so its hard to tell the difference between the two runs, but the arcs are in fact about 15% larger. I'll use a better camera for the next video.
