For those that have owned small quack medical Violet Ray Tesla coils,
powered by little electromagnets/interrupter/condenser arrangements
(self-induction from interrupted coil using back EMF to charge cap and dump
it through the P of the Tesla Coil), here is a movie of what happens
when you design the components to be run from 1000VAC instead of 110V.
Interesting sparks and effects.

Electromagnet is a spool of old telephone wire, ca. 5 lbs, with a 1.5"
diameter laminated steel core.  Interrupter is a fixed post with a brass L
bracket
and steel hammer that attracts to the core - contacts are 1.25" diameter
tungsten mounted to aluminum heatsinks.  .075 mfd cap and 9"
diameter Pancake Coil, ca. 500 T of 34 AWG with a 2.5 turn 1" wide Cu ribbon
Primary.  Pics of power supply on facebook page, soon to be on website.
