This thread is named "Back to Basics"
a FBT in discontinuous mode has a HV saw tooth output and only 1 coil is active while the other is open circuit.
There is no winding ratio. It is stored energy discharge
I disagree with your assessment. Both chokes have to be energized simultaneously by the secondary coil because the secondary will induce voltage on both of them simultaneously, thereby causing the mutual opposing inductance to choke the current, hence why Meyer called them chokes. The secondary could be operating as a FBT, but not the chokes. Matching the reactance to the wfc and the secondary is critical to make it work.
