Re: [TCML] Solid state efficiency, was: mini Tesla coil specs

From KCH-

While I have the attention of a few s.s.'ers here, perhaps someone can 
shed light on this:  I'm simulating what amounts to a half-bridge 
driving an untuned-primary t.c.  I record waveforms of a) MOSFET current 
and b) primary current.  I notice the following: At the start, the 
MOSFETs switch at current peaks and the current waveform is triangular.  
As the primary current--and secondary voltage, of course--builds up, the 
current waveform gradually changes toward a sine shape and the switching 
events shift toward current-zero-crossing.  I have a feeling that that's 
the case in the real world.  Is that to be expected?
