unexpected behavior of voltage inverter

msalko

Hi. I've been trying to build a voltage inverter. the basic idea was just to light up fluorescent tube.

 

the circuit was simple mosfet driven inverter. than i decided to put there transformer 1:1 so i could see what would happen with it.

i put only five volts to it and i was very surprised after an arc came of it.

is there an explanation why in the freaking world this circuit made almost 5cm arc???
