In this chapter we will see how X-ray tubes work and the different mechanisms used to achieve their purpose.

Very interesting video, thank you.
Masterpiece
Molybdenum is more often used than tungsten for the anode. Modern day X-Ray tubes for medical use have voltagte requirements from 25 to 150+ kilovolts. Available current in range from 100 to 1000 milliamps.
Super
very interesting
Hello, I can translate your video?
very useful indeed. i just bought an old xray tube from ebay. ive tested continuity, it seems fine. loads of volts is easy, but i wondered about it's current requirements. thanks
Typical current for modern x-ray tubes is 100 - 1000 milliamperes depending on object mass of the desired part to be x-rayed.
@@Coowallsky so you suggest i give a few v to the heater, then give the valve around 50kv, with a 100mA limited supply to start? i have been waiting to use this valve for 6 months, it is ancient, so no datasheet. but i dont want to kill it.
@@KarldorisLambley Filament voltage of about 10 VDC cuerrent typically 3 to 5 amps.
X-Ray equipment up to 1980 used Full-Wave rectifed High Voltage for what amounted to a pulsating DC voltage (it wasn't filtered after rectification. Some portable x-ray units used capacitive discharge which eliminated the ripple but were limited on exposure time and current (typical for portable).
If I were going to do it, I would shroud the tube with 4# lead sheeting.
Boring, learn that 45 years ago.
Then why are you watching mister knowitall
@@Spigglinggognug I learned that 45 years ago and it still fascinatess me.
