Here is my You Tube link showing my uncompleted Meg transformer . Doing it in a much different way than most folks think.
Have already powered up the OUTPUT coil without the input coil connected at all. Parts on order to do that.
Works or not I am having fun.

In order to determine whether there is OU or not, careful input and output measurements have to be done.
What I see in your video:
1) The lamp might not get 1 Watt. I do not know where the Voltage (about 13 Volt) on the Voltmeter is measured (over the "input = function generator" or over the "output = lamp"). And to determine Wattage one also needs to measure the current = Ampere.
2) The function generator can easily put out 2 Watt: 10 Volt rms x 0.2 Ampere (10 / 50 Ohm = 0.2 Ampere) --> 2 Watt
So, one has to measure Voltage (true rms, http://www.vibrationschool.com/mans/Plots/Plots03.htm) and Ampere, then Watt = Volt * Ampere, for input and output in order to determine OU.
