I made a real Tesla Coil similar to this one many years ago. It was a fun project, and everyone who I showed it to was totally amazed by it (and afraid of it!). :lol:

Does a Tesla coil emit x-rays?
yeah.I looked it up on the internet
s_noonan - No, not at all. You can generate "soft" X-rays if you apply the high voltage to a vacuum tube, such as certain old radio or TV tubes. But the arcing high voltage from the coil only emits RF radiation, some UV light, and a lot of noise! Oh, and there is also the smell of Ozone, which is not good to inhale for too long.

Angelinox3 - Show me the link please.

EDIT: I searched the web myself, and found only one mention of Tesla Coils producing X-rays, and this is what it said:

"X-rays can be produced whenever there is a high voltage present. Although a number of coilers have tested their coils for x-ray radiation and found none present that is not to say that x-rays cannot be produced, especially if vacuum tubes, light bulbs, and other evacuated vessels are placed near a coil."

So, that pretty much backs up what I said. But if anyone can find any article that states "Tesla Coils (by themselves) produce X-rays" I would certainly like to read it.

Thanks, it was the warnings on the high voltage rectifier vacuum tube section of old TV sets that prompted me to ask the question.
what da shoo basle arre u talking
Angelinox3 - Did you read my comment? I would like to know where on the web you read that Tesla Coils produce X-rays. Give me the link to a web site that makes that claim.
