Response to @alfredo2: It isn't a bug. It only exploits how ec works internally and mathematically. There is a bit of math to it, but you and i do not think like computers do (until we become computer engineers like our friend @hurz who could probably explain this better than myself. I'm going to post a circuit that may explain some of this, but I'll front load tou on why I think this is not a bug. If you use an ammeter, you can see that the current flowing through the xfmr primary is huge. That's because you have a 10H inductor with only a 100mOhm resistance. Ec doesn't care that this transformer would have to be astronomically large, it only cares about the values inserted. If you use an Ohmeter, you can measure the resistance of your xfmr. You can also measure the resistance of the vcc pin of the 555 to the output pin, which gives you a short because of how ec makes the timer work, so essentially you are applying gigantic amperage from an infinite power source across a 100mOhm inductor but the way ec works is that it allows you to connect things to the output of the 555 and create a short without crashing like adding a ghost resistance. So what happens when you increase amperage through an inductor? Physics. The voltage rises. It does the same thing on the secondary because it is a xfmr, but you placed a resistor there. Since it is a 50/1 the secondary can technically supply 50x more amperage given the perfect coupling. Be careful before assuming something that doesn't make sense to you is a mistake caused by another.

Yes, it seems more like a glitch

I guess we need to implement the 555 catching fire like the LEDs.

Yes, it would be a good idea
