That hardly stands up to examination. Do you maintain that a DC supply that uses a capacitor to limit power from the mains is as safe as one that uses a transformer for galvanic isolation?so anything is safe, unless you choose to make it unsafe.
That may depend on the design.so that bieng said, what is the view on discussion of tesla coils on this site?
We have no ability to suggest that you rethink the safety of those circuits, but they will certainly never appear on AAC.I personally build alot of devices that either run directly on mains (take a solid state tesla coil for instance, some of mine use halfwave rectified mains and that direct mains input is fed to an IGBT/MOSFET bridge.)
