The 20 awg should handle the current. The 24 is a little small.
How large do the Heat Sinks need to be on the MOSFET?
I wish I had a way to set each MOSFET to run at 200kHz using a 555 timer will be guess work?
There are several online inductor calculators each one gives me a different answer but some are in the same ball park. One calculator says #20 wire it good for 180 watts. I remembered from my experence building coils 40 years ago the more compact the coil is the high the uh value. I have a box full of cardboard coil forms so I will built this.
