After the conference earlier this year related to
Gamma ray and X-ray detection from high lightning strikes on some
science birds, some people hit the field with sensitive equipment
to see if these could be picked up at large Tesla coils and Marx generators.
One of the Tesla sites was Boston Science Museum and other sites, NO
bad stuff was found.
The Marx generators on the other hand had plenty to show in these
energy regions.
Thinking here that high-intensity sparks produce a very loud sound. The
sound means that a large amount of air is moved away from the spark
channel. Maybe for some time interval a high enough vacuum is formed at
the spark channel, and electrons are accelerated to high enough speeds
there by the electric field. When they shock against the air around
the channel X-rays may be emitted.
