At the last club meeting we were having a joking discussion about people making home-made X-Ray machines, and the danger involved.
Anyway, I noticed that someone posted a great Intructable on it…and the dangers are well documented too.

The links to other sites at the end is quite fun reading too.
NOTE: I am not advocating making home-made X-Ray machines. It is really dangerous stuff…..but, the science behind it is really interesting.
Enjoy!
