RE: My X-Ray emitter device built from a barbecue lighter
CRTs have way more current and voltage behind them, but had the benefit of being made of lead glass that massively reduced the x-ray emission. I've never actually tried to measure the x-ray emission of a CRT (I guess because I don't own one anymore), but it's something I'd like to try.
A nice and fancy project! :) Concerning CRTs: I am using an ancient device in our lab, with only a monochrome screen. I need to get my hands on a geiger or similiar, as I am dead sure there is almost no absorption of X-rays from the screen... :) At least I cannot see my bones when I hold my hand in front of it... xD
