Plasma Source Design Development of a Lanthanum Hexaboride Plasma Source with Patrick Prybil and Shreekrishna Tripathi at the UCLA Basic Plasma Science Facility... A time changing magnetic field can induce eddy currents into a nearby workpiece and raise its temperature through joule heating... Solid State Tesla Coils use modern power semiconductors, such as IGBT's or MOSFETS, to drive the primary tank circuit.
