X-rays from peeling tape

This project is an exploration of X-ray production from pulling scotch tape. You may not believe this, but hear me out. If you peel tape off a reel in vacuum at a few cm per second rate, megahertz of 10-40 keV X-rays are produced. X-ray imaging is easy.

This project requires vacuum and attention to X-ray radiation hazards.
