R1 ?
by using a fly back transformer , winding ratio goes out the window . the HV depends on stored energy discharged .
the mosfet and SCR need big heat sinks anyway , they get hot .
Patent says 1st semiconductor = SI transistor or SI thyristor or GTO ......
2nd semiconductor = MOSFET
patent assignee : NGK ltd , nagoya (JP) , they have dropped money , time and resources on this device
I wonder if diode 36 could be a different trigger device used
the patent drawings dont give anything away , they are very basic representation
