Mosfet Tesla coil driver

A new idea for driving mosfets in a Tesla coil that would hopefully decrease heat and enable it to run for a much longer time...? The basic idea i had is, instead of driving with just one or several mosfets in parallel, we could use 4 or more mosfets that alternately turn on so that each mosfet is driven with 1/4 or less of the time, yet the output frequency would still be as high as it was before all those stages.... this would ideally increase the off time of each mosfet and so it would have more time to cool down or in other words, less time to build up heat. So my overall aim is that this will hopefully be efficient enough to power a Tesla coil non stop for several days or weeks if you wanted to (Although I will probably need to test this on a smaller scale first before I can really say whether or not it actually helps as much as I intend)
