Fundamentals of X-Ray Generation


This video explains one of the earliest method of X-ray generation from the heating of filaments in a high vacuum and the usage of high voltages.

The act of getting electrons from heating a filament in high/partial vacuum is called "Thermionic Emissions" where the electrons in the filament is being "boiled" off from the filament metal due high temperature.

    I recently produced a short animated explainer video that might be of interest to your audience. It's about how the uncertainty principle and inflation allowed the universe to emerge from "nothing."

    The embed-able version can be found here, along with a bit more info and links:
