Re: [TCML] STRIATIONS
Oh - before you start playing with really low pressures, be advised that
high vacuum + high voltage = X-rays. :(
Don't find that out the hard way, cataracts and radiation burns are probably
not fun. (I'm not sure when you would have to worry, but it is probably in
the < 1 torr range)"
Not to worry - the pressures involved in interesting gas discharge phenomena are way, way too high for any significant X-Ray production. Without a very clean vacuum system and a diffusion pump there's just about no way anyone could make a usable X-Ray source of any kind.
