Disappearing years

 

Predecessor logo (2015-2019)

In early 2016, Nanox predecessor claimed it already had the technology to change the world of medical imaging, security sciences, and telecommunications:

NanoX Technology 

After more than 20 years of research and development [placing the beginning before 1996], with over $1B invested, our team of engineers has created a technology that will form the core of the next generation of vacuum electronics. Nanox field-effect electron sources will allow engineers in diverse industries to overcome decades-old impediments to innovation. Nanox technology will open the door to quantum leaps in medical imaging, security sciences, and telecommunications.

While the fake $1B number remained, six years of research and development disappeared.  For example, Nanox current tech page claims over 19 years [placing the beginning before 2002].  Years don't disappear, unless the story and the technology is fake.

Also interesting is the list of frequently-asked questions about Nanox in February of 2016.

Q: How much do Nanox emitters cost?

A: Nanox will enter the market as a technology license provider, not as a component supplier. We are committed to working with our co-development partners to craft business relationships that allow both sides to capture maximum value from their investments.

Because the technology was and still is a scam, no one has licensed it.  Not even Fuji, which is fraudulently listed as an OEM above.

Q: How large are Nanox cathodes?

A: Nanox cathodes are created from standard silicon wafers using well-known MEMS fabrication techniques, and can be created in any shape, size, or configuration.

Nanox now claims the (fake) cathodes are about 1cm2.

Q: What current density has been achieved?

A:  Over the past year, Nanox has made numerous improvements that have resulted in large jumps in current density. We are now routinely testing emitters rated at 2.5A/cm2

If the emitters were real and had current density of 2.5A/cm2, the Nanox tube would have been a very powerful one - 100,000W (40,000V x 2.5 A/cm2 x 1 cm2), capable of doing soft-tissue CT.  Instead, the Nanox tube is just 80W, which is worse than the cheapest used dental tube you can buy on eBay.  So, Nanox predecessor "exaggerated" by more than 3 orders of magnitude (or, a factor over 1,000x), even if the technology were not completely fake (which it is).

Which brings us back to the most frequently asked question about Nanox today:

Q: When is the FDA approval coming?  

And the answer is:  

A:  Never, as Nanox has not submitted for FDA approval.
