On a more serious note. What type of discharge or pulsing circuit are you using to run at that voltage and power level? I have seen actual videos of home made Tesla coils pushing nearly 100kw, So I dont think his 5 kw is all that far out of line.
Ive run three 12 kv 60 ma sign transformers in parallel before as a Tesla coil driver. thats nearly 2200 watts. And I am still alive!
But the safety precautions are at the top of the list. I would never go withing several feet of the driver circuit while it was active. And I did use a grounding wand to tap every high voltage component before handling anything when it was turned off.
