How to make 5V to 15000V Transformer || High voltage generator | DIY Transformer

Ever wondered how to step up a tiny 5V input into a massive, arc-throwing 15,000 Volts? In this video, we build a high-voltage boost converter / transformer from scratch! Whether you're building a DIY plasma cutter, a Jacob's ladder, or just fascinated by high-voltage electronics, this step-by-step guide will show you exactly how it’s done.
This video is for educational and entertainment purposes only. Do not attempt to replicate this project unless you are experienced with high-voltage safety protocols, proper insulation, and personal protective equipment. Handle all components at your own risk.
