1KV DC from 1V DC V2

It's basically a joule thief circuit.
Can anyone tell me whether this would actually works, or if it just works in theory?

While I cannot comment on the circuit I have seen some videos of 3-6v DC to a few kilovolts, so in practice it is possible.

Essentially the transistor is open and current starts flow in the inductor. Then the transistor closes so the resistance is theoretically infinite. Since in an inductor current can't instantly change voltage start to raise and it can go up to several kilovolts. This is the best that I can do in english...

I don't think it'll be that simple to make it do as suggested. First to make a transformer with 1H primary induction with only 10 turns you'd need quite a large core. I suggest you make it at a higher frequency to minimise transformer size.

The greatest problem is that at 1v. supply you only have 0.4v approx. to drive current through the transistor base due to the 0.6-0.7v BEv. I can see that you are trying to spike the base-emitter in to the collector conductancd zone but I doubt that the circuit wiuld self-start due to the low voltage supply limitations..
