No need to be sorry mate. The fact that you posted this, shows that you appreciate the safety concerns. It's what forums are best at.
You can appreciate that the amount of energy required to kill, or seriously stun a rat (and these can get quite huge), is well enough to fry or even kill a human !!!
It is likely you will find drawings or similar on www somewhere, BUT I'd always check with someone more knowledgeable before attempting them.
After all, you don't want the rats standing over your limp body, laughing ... That would suck ! :-)

It might be better to simply purchase a commercial unit unless you have high-voltage electronics experience and can ensure the neighbor's cat or dog or a kid is safe around the trap you build.
Every youtuber hides their actual power supply to prevent copycats.
The 12V (powered) ones are fake, you can see a boost-converter stashed away around the corner in the videos. Another give away is the 400V can electrolytic capacitors, some seem to have a PSU stuffed inside.
You have to ask how a rat can start smoking on only 12V?
sch is a simple mains-powered unit but no idea of the output voltage. It has auto on/off.
