If they are produced at all, the amount of X rays is probably tiny and hardly to be useful for anything. IIRC, our member c4r0 made some X rays using a vacuum diode and small SSTC.

He had to use sensitive X ray screen and not much can actually be seen.

I'm not worrying yet, as I doubt any x-rays could even penetrate the glass at the low voltages I'm using. I'll try some proper experiments later when I make a SSTC, and post any results here. Thanks for the input. smile

If you are going to 'play' with X-rays
I suggest you look at this Link2

I bought a DRSB01, and added a connector for my timer/counter.
It measures background fairly well
and responds to Uranium glass, 241Am etc.

DO NOT buy ex- civil defence / military types as they are mainly for high-dose measurements and not very sensitive
