[sm_laughing] I guess I can see an anode and cathode here.

Sure, breaking the bonds (chemical, and hence mechanical) in the tape roll is bound to cause energy transfer , but why it results in electrons @ certain energy that their slowdown impacting the surroundings causes Xrays is not intuitive to me.
My area of expertise is materials design, not "*feces* that happens from materials use" LOL But seriously, I look forward to more papers on this that will certainly come about in the next 6-12 months. It's an amazing topic. Here's a slightly better commentary. http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/80beats/2008/10/22/peeling-scotch-tape-powers-x-ray-machine/ Title: Re: Hey, Aske Post by: gleek on October 23, 2008, 08:50:28 PM I don't know *feces* about this subject matter either, but I bet it has to do with electrolytes.

Because the first use of God's earler version of an intelligently designed tape dispenser resulted in a sustained nuclear fusion reaction, and everything on that particular planet poofed away when it turned into star and then evolved into a black hole. So in designing this one, He backed off a notch. Title: Re: Hey, Aske Post by: gleek on October 24, 2008, 08:11:01 AM Of course, you're just speculating since we all know that this event occurred 6000 years ago and you obviously weren't around to have witnessed it.
