Hello @Gisho, incase the Prius cars show plenty of reliability, your nearest hope is this : http://uk.rs-online.com/web/c/?searchTerm=IGBT+transistor&sra=oss . btw, when you get the shipment of these when you order them, they will come in anti-static cases. What you need to do then is get this too http://uk.rs-online.com/web/c/?searchTerm=wrist+strap&sra=oss so that they don't get damaged when you assemble the components. BEFORE USE ensure you get a proper certified electrician from KPLC who has done the earthing checks between the soldering station and your work area.

I want to build a solid state Tesla coil. yeah, the spark gap is making my house smell like a welding workshop. i kinda think that now that prii (many prius) are around i can get high voltage *IGBT<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulated_gate_bipolar_transistor> s* much easily.
