X-Ray Machine Construction (project finished)
(1/8) > >>
Neukyhm:
Hi everyone, I have finally finished the machine and done some tests. I have also uploaded a video showing the construction process. The video is not intended to teach you anything, it only shows the process. If you want to know how I built it, please wait until I release the project (this is my final degree project and I have to present it at my college)

About the machine:
-Fully 3D printed case
-Modified ZVS Mazzilli driver optimized for high frequency
-CEI OX/70-G4 x-ray tube
-Arduino UNO, so it's remotely controlled
-Custom HV transformer made with an ETD59 core
-Work frequency: ~110kHz
-Power: ~80W

Hope you like it.

Note: before anyone comes shouting this is dangerous, I know. When I present this at the college I will be then a physicist. The machine is remotely controlled, I'm not even inside the house when it's activated and I have a Geiger counter (the one shown in the video).

Very nice.  :-+
Any plans to share the details?

Of course, I will be happy to show the details, but it must be after the presentation, that will be by next june. I'm not allowed by the university to share more before I get my mark.

you'll be able to see how well your foot fits in a shoe.
hopefully you have better results than the last model.
what on earth is it for?

For learning? I guess. I have learnt A LOT with this project.

It's the same when you build a Tesla coil. Is it really useful for something? Maybe for fun, but what building a tesla coil is really useful for is teaching you some things.
