Definitely. I just received my copy. It has history, theory, even schematics and parts lists for a 10kW+ one using a full bridge of the cm600ha-24h bricks. The hard part is getting the pcb boards for the controller, which would be a nightmare to try to etch yourself, and are not cheap in 1-piece quanities.

WOW, these solid states are really reachin out !!! ....Ok , if a person would like to make the switch to a 'solid state' coil , would the book " A Modern Day Solid State Tesla Coil Experiment" Book be a good starting point for a succesfull coil ????
