you’re not standing there, are you? mhh, tasty hard, plentyful x-rays….
I’m taking care to avoid the fusor during the deuterium runs. The video is an air plasma.
I won’t be running the machine again until it’s completely computer controlled, and i can operate it from the next room. Additionally I’ve got a geiger counter on the way to measure any x-ray activity.
accelerating air with a few kv and slamming it together will still yield hard x-rays. take care.
Thank you. Glad I’m blogging this as I go.
