hehe, that low voltage Brain!

Come stop by and I will show you my 'Tesla Coil' running at ~700,000volts AC... very load, and looks VERY deadly, however you can hold you hand in the arcs and you only feel very minor shocks... that's because it's running at very high frequencies ~500khz resonant freq.

I have heard of ppl using those flyback transformers in small Tesla Coils for the primary circuit.
