Maximum Prophet writes"When I was in High School, I built an X-Ray machine that (probably) didn't produce any X-Rays. I used an old vacuum tube and high voltage. Little did I know that simple triboluminescence would have enough energy to do useful work."The catch: you'll need to peel your tape in a vacuum, and have the x-ray film at the ready.
