Mazzilli Oscillator as a tool in education

In an effort to visually show students the effects of Eddy currents (also called Foucault's currents), we have researched the possibility of using a Zero Voltage Switching circuit for the generation of such currents in a large, light and thin piece of metal. The Mazzilli oscillator provided with a much needed opportunity for such research and an interesting task for application of knowledge and skills acquired during studies.
