===== Update 2022 =====

  * We have seen old Gendex dental X-ray machine. 
  * Gendex 765dc built in 2001. 
  * [[https://brmlab.cz/_media/project/brmrtg/gendex_765dc_dental_x-ray_-_user_manual_en_es_fr_por_.pdf|Manual]]
  * Condition: Minor oil leak (investigate/refull, high voltage can be dangerous without oil). Should be working otherwise.
  * + CAWO scintilator cassette 35x43, blue/black, inside is PRIMAX G-400, 2x.

===== Overview =====
An X-ray machine has been built from a vacuum diode and then from real 1970s X-ray tube, overclocked TV transformer and a hospital X-ray screen. Some X-ray photos have been taken. As of 12/2014, the high voltage supply is broken and efforts are on building a better one.

**Update:** Since 12/2015 we got as gift old X-ray transformer but we must dry transformer first before filling by oil. Without insulating oil transformer burns up quickly. As insulating oil we bought 5l of special transformer oil Paramo MOGUL TRAFO CZ-A (thanks all for donations :))

Jenda wrote a final exam work at the high school about it: http://jenda.hrach.eu/brm/ct.pdf

===== Now we have: =====
==== 1. X-ray tubes ====
{{:project:xray_tubes.jpg?500 | foto1}}
We have two old X-ray tubes manufactured by Chirana in 1970 but the smaller one is broken (R.I.P). Actually we use the larger one DOK-70kVv


==== 2. X-ray transformer ====
{{:project:trafo_2.jpg?500 | foto2}}
This is old HV X-ray transformer 230V/80kV :) it is constructed for operation under oil fill.

==== 3. X-ray screen ====
{{:project:kazeta.jpg?500 | foto3}}
We use as screen original X-ray screen Agfa Ortho Regular 24x30 mounted in ClubMate box with mirror to prevent damage camera by heavy x-ray beam.

==== 4. 3D printed X-ray tube holder ====
{{:project:celek_1.jpg?500 | }} 
Ray designed in CAD holder for flexible manipulation with X-ray tube and printed it by 3D printer
