Back when I was first playing around with Tesla coils, I was using 25 Watt,
large globe bulbs for making streamers and things. It was a long time ago,
so I don't remember if I was getting streamers with every bulb, but I *do*
remember getting a green glow a few times. I thought it was copper breaking
down or something. I didn't make the x-ray connection until reading in  this
list a few years ago. I would have always been doubtful about having
actually produced
x-rays, except for the fact that I couldn't figure out for years how *all of
my holography film was completely exposed and ruined* one time. The only
explanation I have is that the film was exposed by x-rays. I had three boxes
of film, one previously opened, and two others never opened until I was
finding all the film exposed. All three boxes were ruined. Holography film
is way too expensive to use for x-ray testing, but maybe some other sort of
film might work?
