Would it be possible to modifie or rewind one or a few of those small transfromers that can be found radios and such to give out about 25-30kv? at a low current. could they be powered from pluses from an arangment of a 555 timer? or I am losing my time?

Power transformers would be very lossy when used
with pulses from a timer IC. You would be better
off winding your own coil, or using a flashlamp
transformer.

See the ARRL Handbook for information on coil winding and cores.

It's a book.
You can find it in a library or a book store.
