Homemade x-ray machine

[God12344576]

дятел хотябы ящик из свеца сделал облучится ведь

[bweasel1978]

you should be proud of yourself! i would be thats amazing....

[nukleheadmcspazotron]

GEE SAFE!!!

[megaexplosive2]

Where do you get that stuff? I cant find alywhere to get a street transformer.

[Dri0m]

can you make tutorial how to turn b&w into this spectrum image?

[omegalab]

@Dri0m Yeah, I will make one, just check the video description in the next weeks, I'll link it.

[Dri0m]

@omegalab or next years =)

[omegalab]

@Dri0m Done. ;)

[johnathan105]

isn't this a little radioactive and kind of dangerous?

[AFullThrottleRacingM]

Is this from Russia? Or Japan?

[Riot454di]

would you xray your hand if you had a fall and thought it to be broken?

[omegalab]

@Riot454di Only after I upgrade this project with my x-ray imaging unit.

[Punisher93140]

good job, but it's dangerous. i'm sure you know how to buid a bombe xD

[HotRock2010]

I am impressed but that cant be safe!

[vusiliyK]

Dude.....Nice! How long did the build take?

[omegalab]

@vusiliyK A few months.

[Ethanknox]

Itd be easier just to buy 1

[sergo40]

@Ethanknox Wheres the fun in that? :O

[lokeycmos]

nice setup man, good job!

[resistance0311]

Can you concentrate the XRAY wave and shoot it at fairly large distance ?

[omegalab]

@resistance0311 It's called X-ray laser.

[resistance0311]

@omegalab

So , what if you point it at a person in distance for long period of time ?

[omegalab]

@resistance0311 What do you want to accomplish? These lasers can't be bought, or made at home.

[resistance0311]

@omegalab

I was wondering if this could be used as a weapon ( cancer machine ) . I have a feeling stuff like that been used by governments .

[marmaladekamikaze]

I'd really like to see a mouse or rat put in there! how does this machine compare to commercial medical machines?

[omegalab]

@marmaladekamikaze This tube is from a dental x-ray machine (I think). If I have time, I will rebuild it, with my bigger tube, and make a new xray video.

[ParaglidingManiac]

Nice!

[Ruttie2]

@omegalab Or he did that on purpose...

[carpetmonk]

what did the dosimeter read after exposure?

[speedytoys111]

NICE TRY BUT NO GO! WHAT DID YOU USE FOR YOUR ANODE OR CATHODE MATERIAL . I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH XRAY AND XRAY PHYSICS FOR OVER 30 THIS SEEMS ALITTLE FAR FETCHED.

[zavatone]

@speedytoys111 I see someone paid their caps lock bill!

[zillyberk]

WOW! Dude a little more work and you might end up with a wunderwaffe.

[WillstDuNichtWissen]

Wow, Nice vid, nice work :D

[p1ayaone]

your last words: "holy shit, it worked!"

really, i'm just jealous

[jrbpyro101]

Where did you get your RGB intensifying screen? I have green and blue screens but I cant find nor have ever heard of a RGB screen.

[omegalab]

@jrbpyro101 Because RGB screen is not exist :)

[jrbpyro101]

@omegalab Hahaha, that explains a lot. So how exactly do you do the RGB pictures?

[Dri0m]

@omegalab ok, so how did you do it?

[omegalab]

@Dri0m It's a photoshop trick. So it is an RGB- blue shade gradient conversion (because of the blue screen of course). Maybe I make a mini tutorial on 4hv.org sometime, if someone is interested.

[XtalQRP]

@omegalab I don't think so. A dosimeter is a solid metal cylinder (externally) and this quite clearly shows the internal mechanism. The quartz fibre loop is a little blurred - this would indicate movement (and hence that the dosimeter was subject to ionising radiation) at the time of the exposure.

[applesweeter]

I saw that the radioactivity detector is from "Civil Defence".

Are you a former civil defense officer?

[omegalab]

@applesweeter You can buy CDV items on ebay.

[applesweeter]

@omegalab

How much will this radiation detector cost?

[omegalab]

@applesweeter You can check it on ebay...

[rubenboros]

Megkérdezhetem hogy 1Sievert az mennyi becquerel?

Azaz mennyi bomlás/s

[omegalab]

@rubenboros

Sehány, mert ezt nem lehet közvetlen átszámolni. A Sievertnél ugyanis van egy biológiai hatásossági szorzó is, ami béta-gamma esetén 1, alfánál meg 8-10.

[LegacyofY]

That clicking noise is the sound of your future children being irradiated from existence....

[hardstyle905]

@LegacyofY Not everything you see in games like Stalker and Fallout 3 is true kid.

[ganghin]

can you use it as a microwave oven? cause if you can't, it's almost useless

[hsuson]

MAD scientist, but COOL

[a380rockerfan]

Was the camera you used a Fujifilm Finepix S1600?

[omegalab]

@a380rockerfan

S6500fd

[hanrickjones]

bro that is some real shit

wow wow wowwwwwwww

is that all u kept a ur home

shit man

i just cant think of that all in my room

[DaedricLavaWhiskey]

Does this X-ray put out large amounts of radiation at its target? Wouldnt you need some sort of vest for Living things?

[Driv3th3hiv3]

@DaedricLavaWhiskey Even with the shielding of the source you can notice a high output of xrays leaking (60R/h from the point he is measuring), but if it the shield didn't exist, he would be needing something much higher to measure it with. Back in the video he said without shielding of the source radiation was around 1000R/h

[cacneaunit6]

is it safe for humans because if it is u dont have to go to the doctou to have x-rays!!

[1993gandy]

@cacneaunit6 no x-rays can kill you in seconds it will be best to go to the doctors

[Driv3th3hiv3]

@1993gandy Actually no it won't, there is allways a letancy period for radiation sickness. Fatal exposure can take hours to start manifesting noticable effects. And as far as the medicine goes, there is no cure for severe or fatal radiation exposure, only treatment.

[a380rockerfan]

where the hell did you get a x-ray tube, 32 capacitors and a 35kV transformer? this is crazy but freakin' awesome! you are SO lucky...

[uponmysoapbox1]

sandals AND socks isnt cool

[Nanovirus5995]

@uponmysoapbox1 is*

[cyberelectronics]

Kb. 60 R/hr mértél, ha jól láttam.

Bekapcsolt állapotban, hát nem igazán szeretnék a közelében lenni :).

Viszont szivesen megnézném élőben az egész kütyüt.

Gratula hozzá!

[omegalab]

@cyberelectronics

500uA és 65kV mellett. Jelenleg szét van szedve, és fejlesztésre vár.

[MrGoogfan]

What voltage are you running the heater at? Also, what frequency (dc pulse) is coming out of the transformer?

[omegalab]

@MrGoogfan

Heating is from 6VAC. The transformer output is 0-35kVAC, 50Hz.

[darkdjo]

Awesome !! I'd like to make that at home haha ! Photos are impressives.

[c4r0hv]

The transformer looks cool :D Have you tried making some pictures with a photographic paper? If not, you have to try it! It's really worth the trouble, I'm telling you! ;)

[omegalab]

@c4r0hv

Yes, I tried once, but the test failed, because I think I maked some mistake in the development.

I have used positive photographic film, because it was cheap. If I have a chance to buy mammography film, I will try it again

[c4r0hv]

IMO it's harder to make nice pictures on x-ray films that photographic paper (I have some experience with both). Regular photographic paper (negative) is really easy to develop, and it's good to start experiments with an old paper because it's still pretty good for this purpose and you can get it really cheap (or for free if you know any amateur photographer who develops pictures on his own).

[c4r00]

@omegalab

A film (both photo and x-ray) has to be developed in total darkness and it's harder to develop than paper. Try with regular b/w photographic paper. You can develop it under red light (not too bright of course, but enough to see what's going on). I don't know how it is where you live, but here in Poland you can get some old paper (from 1980's but still works good enough to play with for the start) practically for the shipping cost only. The chemicals are not so expensive neither.

[omegalab]

@c4r00

I have the chemicals, and the darkroom (in the bathroom, with 3 red leds ). Now I need to rebuild my xray box with better shieldings, and insulations. I want to make also changeable height for the xray tube.

[Driv3th3hiv3]

Omega

Christ!

[Driv3th3hiv3]

Imagine the radiation inside the lead box

[omegalab]

@Driv3th3hiv3

The source is around 1kR/h at this power.

[MyCrisSpace]

Whats the total coast to make one

[omegalab]

@MyCrisSpace

Without the variac, xray tube and transformer, its about 300$.

[vifter]

where did u get the radioaktive material

[thebravestdave]

Ez igen! Le a kalappal! 5*

[clagwell]

I can tell that you put a bit of work into that. Nice set up for sure. How old is that transformer at 0:07 ?

5 Stars !

[omegalab]

Its approximately 50 years old.

[zker666]

thats fucking sick!

[peppoj]

The transformer reminds of Fallout 3, for some reason...

[Player1yt]

amazing work! good luck with your future projects, if you're not a rocket scientist already ;)

[Driv3th3hiv3]

Awsome job

Though thats quite a dose of radiation.

[vik95170]

wou are a bosssss

[civildefensecollectr]

Oh crap he made the CDV-715 needle move!!!!

[L0wnyus]

insane!

[sciencoking]

you seem to be one of the guys who actually know what they´re doing! Awesome video, awesome pictures! 5*

[bionerd23]

wow, awesome video! thanks for sharing. =)

[ytmachx]

Wow , that was fantastic!

[AScannerClearly]

Someday, I'll upgrade my most crappy (yet very cheap) X-ray machine into something more like what you've got there! Yours does great awesome.

[DidntKnowWhatToPut1]

Awesome! 5/5

[MrPyroMaster]

Hát ez nem semmi! gratulálok! A kép hogy lesz ilyen éles? Mivel "fókuszálod" a sugarakat? Gondolom ha csak simán átvilágítanád homályos lenne...

[omegalab]

A csőben keletkező röntgenforrás elég pontszerű, így élesek a kontúrok. A fókusz persze függ attól a távolságtól ami a cső és a tárgy közt van.

[Gintaras]

Awesome x-ray! I think I'm several years away from projects that big...
