Hey, think its cool youre into electronics and such and only 15.I started 
tesla coils at age 15 and now im 17 and itsbeen cool.I suggest you get a 
transformer like a neon sign transformer.Find the largest one you can get.Try 
for a transformer of 15kv -at-30ma.Also, dont touch the output with a bare 
finger.Dont even touch it with a metal rod!Put a needle on it and then 
isolate yourself.I have a Q for you since you work with flybacks and such in 
computers.Whats the best way to drive a hv transformer such as a flyback or 
something like a HV HF xfmr,feedback circuit or a pulsed circuit?Im building 
a laser PSU and im using a homemade transformer with a 160turns ratio.Its on 
a ferrite core.

thanx,
matt
