How x-rays are generated

Here is how x-rays are generated, according to Korean-based Nanox promoters on Yahoo and Twitter:

We inform investors of Nanox who want to democratize global medical care with innovative technology. Flowchart of how to make an X-ray

1. Substance (object)

2. Apply heat, light, impact, etc. to the material (object) 

3. Heat, light, impact, etc., emit electrons from the received material (object) (electron emission or field emission)

4. When the protruding electron collides with an object, x-rays are emitted. depending on what 1 is here

※Double metal (mems) such as Nanox molybdenum or gallium

※Other company's carbon nanotubes (cnt)

Note that the above algorithm is written in English - it is not a translation. Here is it with a specific object, such as a cucumber:



1.  Cucumber

2.  Apply heat, light, impact, etc. to said cucumber

3.  Heat, light, impact, etc., emit electrons from the received cucumber

4.  When the protruding electron collides with another cucumber, x-rays are emitted.

Now you know how x-rays are generated, Gangnam style.


Update:  Steve @Yahoo makes a good point about the heat, and asks:

Are you finally admitting that the Nanox cold tube isn't cold after all? You're using the word "heat" when describing how to make x-rays, yet one of the values of the Nanox tube is that it's a cold tube and doesn't make any heat to make an x-ray beam. So are you admitting that the company has been lying this whole time?

Nanox investors were never told that a cold cathode can get quite hot.  A cold cathode simply emits more electrons than can be supplied by thermionic emission alone.

Update:  The author of the above algorithm has offered further clarification:

X-ray X-ray When electrons collide with an object, radiation with strong penetrating power (electromagnetic wave) is emitted. This radiation is called x-ray. Usually, a flow of high-speed electrons collides with a material, and at this time, short-wavelength electromagnetic waves are generated, which are called x-rays. It was first discovered by Wilhelm Roentgen in 1895 and is also called the Roentgen ship.

So, now we further learn that:  

  1. You don't need high voltage to generate x-rays (just a few volts potential should provide enough energy for the electrons to generate x-rays when smashing into an object, such as a cucumber)
  2. Roentgen ship is a thing.

Update:  The author's rebuttal to my understanding of his x-ray generating algorithm is as follows, verbatim:

If you go to the RxR blog, 1. There are psychopaths in the world who compare objects (substances) to cucumbers. Is this common sense? RxR is not a citizen of a country with a public education. It cannot distinguish between conductors, insulators, and semiconductors.

저가 RxR과 대화해본 결과 결론은 RxR은전기전자의 기초를 전혀 모릅니다. 도체.부도체.반도체.전자방출.전계방출.전자.원자.핵 전기전자 기초를 모릅니다. 속지마세요 가짜냉음극도매상 이거나 무식한 공매도 하수인 입니다.

Update January 2, 2022:  Jeremy @Yahoo points out, correctly, that, 

if you apply enough heat and light to the cucumber you will surely get x-rays, also from protruding electrons hitting the relativistic cucumber. See xkcd's relativistic baseball.

I had foolishly failed to consider a cucumber that had been accelerated to relativistic speed prior to step 1, or the use of a small nuclear explosive device in step 2.  In either case, of course, Nanox.ARC becomes a single-use disposable device, and the patient never returns for another annual diagnostic check-up.

  1. Re "there are psychopaths in the world who compare objects (substances) to cucumbers"

    Yes, psychopaths are very real. Yet Hollywood flicks and the entertainment industry at large have presented a deliberately erroneous picture of psychopaths which keeps the public misinformed about what and who psychopaths really are (eg most psychopaths are not overtly violent) and what the TRUE state of the world is --- check out “The 2 Married Pink Elephants In The Historical Room –The Holocaustal Covid-19 Coronavirus Madness: A Sociological Perspective & Historical Assessment Of The Covid “Phenomenon”” at w w w dot CovidTruthBeKnown dot c o m

    Movies, novels, comics, books on serial killers, etc as essential lies, their creators as deceivers of the public. Believing these lies or half-truths turns you into a member of herd stupidity which is always self-destructive in the end ...

    One of the ways psychopaths show their hate for the public is by rubbing the public's stupidity in their own faces. Eg with the letters of "omicron" an alleged Covid variant you can spell "moronic"... And indeed most of the public NEVER recognizes their stupidity as the believe, trust, and follow any explanation or demand of the psychopaths-in-power.

    And further speaking of stupid herd people not getting the glaringly obvious truth/ie not getting the constant onslaught of BIG lies of the official authorities......
