Thanks. I tried to keep those to a minimum with an aluminum metal filter at the opening. The tube is also surrounded by mineral oil, so hopefully those things keep most of the soft X-rays from leaving the machine.

@@sciguy3128 X-rays are enormus from this tube! Aluminium is nothing for this amount x-rays! Look that video, this guys are measure gamma radiation. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z82habCbmZ-8j2w.html

Honestly I don't know the voltage he's using but to my knowledge if his power supply is generating somewhere around 60k to 80k and the amount of time exposed,he maybe received around 1 mSv now keep in mind it takes 1000 mSv or 1 sievert to raise your chance of getting cancer by 5% so it would take somewhere around 1000 days of exposure like this to to do any real harm at all

@@lilman10te found useful .

​@@lilman10te the safety limit is 20 mSv per year

Thankfully, bulk purchasing lead is somewhat cheap.

You can use any type of oil, just check that its not conductive

partly but you need other resources. It would be easier to make one from scratch because you would have to remaster a lot of the components.

@@rwy-ug6pl Oh okay. Thanks for respond.

@@drspastic Interesting, thank you for making video.

Make a low freq flyback driver using the output transistors and the flyback(there tons of schematics online), then you can connect it to a big vacuum tube such as the HV rectifier tube on old tube tvs(they were used until ~1970-1975)

I think your power supply at 20kv is probably good, assuming it is a ZVS flyback driver. You can use it to drive a flyback, and most of those have a HV diode built in, so you'll get DC out. As for your two-tube idea, no, I don't think that's a good idea. If you have two tubes, you will have two sources of X-rays from two different places. As a result, the image will include two separate "shadows", and this will look weird. It also probably won't increase the X-ray power, since you'll just place twice the load on the supply, so it's voltage will drop. Anyway, I hope I answered your question. Good luck with your project!

@@sciguy3128 thanks very much, it is indeed a flyback driver so I should be ok, it says it needs an input of 12v 5a so I guess ill look for a cable that can do that

hey again, I just realised i forgot about film and im stuck between 2 choices, an intensifier screen or dental x ray film like yours, here is the screen: www.ebay.ie/itm/X-ray-Image-Intensifier-Screen-for-experiments-with-x-ray-tube-x-ray-photografy/253987892134?hash=item3b22dbaba6:g:070AAOSwVFlT8niH my tube is a 6vs-1 so maybe its not strong enough?

Sorry I'm late. Go with the film for permanent images, and the intensifier for fluoroscope-like images.

thanks, The fluoroscope images soudns more appealing since it should have infinite use? If my tube with 20kv dc can make it work it would be great, but some videos i saw said that it didnt react, maybe becasue there werent enough x rays, maybe long exposure could fix that. just a thought

Dude nobody should really be making a project like this at home, especially someone who needs help to do it.

This is dangerous. Blood cancer is not a joke my friend. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z82habCbmZ-8j2w.html

2x2a

I don't have a patreon, but I'll tell you the materials I used. For the shielding: 0.75 cm thick wood boards for the structure, 1 mm thick lead sheets from United Nuclear. For the electronics and tube: 2X2A vacuum tube, Mineral oil for insulation, 60 kv induction coil power supply from Scisupply. For the X-ray film: Ebay self-developing dental xray film. That's pretty much it. Just some wires and some soldering to be done on the shielding. Geiger counter is GMC-320+

can I get to vacuum from old radio or TV?

I believe so. If I'm correct, the 2X2A is a high voltage rectifier tube, so it is probably in some very old television sets or the like. To be honest, I'd recommend just buying one on ebay. They are like 15$ and work fine for this.
