How did you use a diode tube and Polaroid film to make x-ray Idea

sounds like fun and a useful tool....

Basically I just drive a diode tube with a Neon Transformer. Oh say 2o KV DC 10 ma! LOL!

Shield the back. Side Your On.

In the dark you wrap Polaroid Film in Black Paper or Plastic.

That is placed behind the Target.

Energize the tube for 20 seconds and Process the film. That is just smashing the packet on the end of the film pack and smearing it across the paper. Wait ten seconds and peal it back and rub it off. If you wipe it with Acetic acid, (Vinegar) it will not fade away so fast.

LOL! This is why they always told you not to sit close to the old color TV sets.
