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.
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
@@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.

The range of how to explanation of the x-ray is more easy to understand. Grade to see this. Thank you!
Very interesting video, thank you.
Masterpiece
This is indeed interesting! Thanks a lot

Typical current for modern x-ray tubes is 100 - 1000 milliamperes depending on object mass of the desired part to be x-rayed.

Super
Last 1 minute was great
Hello, I can translate your video?
When will u make videos again
I love this stuff
very interesting
1:31 photons are tiny waves 🌊. they are not tiny balls 🏀.
Wave containg balls that Einstein says i think
