Electricity flows without spark?

Question

I've got a bit to ask here on the same subject. have a 5v dc power source and I have inverted it to 50v ac there is power flowing when everything's connected together (I have a complete circuit with power flow) but when I connect the positive and negative on the inverters output I don't see a spark. I was wondering if there is a way to correct this. The reason for my request is I am experimenting with electricity. I was also wondering about pinouts on an LCD inverter from a laptop so I can connect power to it, as far as I've been reading it's about 12v dc in and 110 to 125v ac out which is about normal for inversion. The other thing I want to know about is: I have an inverter board from a VGA LCD monitor which has a power switch and the cable which goes to the VGA board and the power buttons but I can't figure out which wires to connect together so it will be on when I plug it in or flip a switch, one wire is marked on/off, the next is marked dim which I assume is for the brightness of the LCD screen, next is marked 5v, next is not marked, next is 3.4v, next is gnd, next is not marked, and the last one is 13v. This looks to me like the on/off wire would attach to one of the marked voltage ones but none of the combinations with that wire work. I was considering using a 12v adapter with the on/off and 13v as an inverter typically takes 12v. Any suggestions for these things would help. I understand I'm playing around with high voltage and it's dangerous, I wouldn't do it if I didn't trust myself to my own safety first.

Update:

I tried the 12v adapter, didn't work.

Update 2:

I didn't say I was connecting the positive and negative on my power source, I said I was connecting it after the inverter. I'm pretty sure that a 50v ac current should produce a spark when you touch the positive and negative together as even 5v dc will.

yo can also go looking for gas leaks with a match,connectng power supply wires together is not clever it can break it,if not some supplies have a circuit that kicks in to stop any damage so you probably wouldnt get a spark anyway.i sggest if you want to do these things get a meter and some instruction or learning

electricity (lightning) isn't seen in air. the end results of electricity (lightning) is seen as warm ionized air. the improve of the air because of the bright warmth of the lightning, and here fall down of this prolonged air produces thunder. Sparks are seen generally because of the fact they're splattering of steel which ends up from the bright warmth whilst 2 wires of opposite polarity touch. The "sparks" linked with spark plugs is ionized air. in basic terms as is St.Elmo's fire surrounding extraordinarily ionized systems. Electrons are no longer seen to the unaided eye. TexMav

That is a long rambling question, and I don't know what your actual question is. 

To answer the top level question, yes you can have electricity flow without a spark. 

Try to simplify your question, if you have one.
