The 1N4937 with 15pf of capacitance helps to isolate the coil circuit from being affected by the MOSFET full capacitance and should allow a higher value of Rd than the same circuit without the diode. The higher Rd value will increase the slope (more vertical) of the current discharge Time Constant (TC) to better stimulate small, low conductive targets.
What is the actual inductance of your 19 cm, 27 turn coil and the adjusted value of Rd for minimum delay? What is your minimum delay?
Have you tried a larger coil yet?
Thanks

It works great! 600V...15pF...fast enough...
