See Steve Ward's website (YouTube won't let me post the link) but a google search "Steve Ward Tesla" will return it as the first entry. It has pretty much everything you'd want to know.
The fundamental difference between an SSTC and DRSSTC is that the Solid State Tesla Coil (SSTC) is driven by a single coil or primary. The Dual Resonant SSTC (DRSSTC) has a tank capacitor in series with this primary coil. So, if I removed this capacitor, my DRSSTC would be an SSTC.
Also, most SSTC's run continuously. DRSSTC's run at 10% or lower duty cycle. What does all that mean? SSTC's have short, hot, fat sparks. DRSSTC's have long, more conventional sparks.
Hey! Thanks!!!

Yes, that is pretty "the main difference."

OK, so the difference between SSTC and DRSSTC is the tank cap and a lower duty cycle, thus making the sparks more like the traditional SGTC, Right?
