How do I make my own potential difference between two Charged parallel plates with Home ingredients??

Question

Hi. I want to make my own Xray ...
but what I really need to do is figure out how to make a voltage across two parallel plates with the stuff that i would typically find at home @

Also ...How hot would I typically have to heat something so it emits a gamma ray ..is this possible?? Do all things when heated (I know they must emit infared radiation and if they're incadescent -then some in the visual spectrum and possible UV rays if glowing more than White hot) -- but what about Radio waves to gamma rays??

Thnks.

Answer 1

To make gamma rays you'd have to heat something up to about 100 million degress centigrade.

Answer 2

You ask some tough questions: 1. ... potential difference (voltage) between two ... parallel plates with home ingredients?

OK, I think that you are thinking of building a battery. Place two metal plates made from two different kinds of metal such as copper and iron, into a small container of ionic solution, such as water and table-salt. Mix the solution. I believe that iron will be the positive terminal while the copper plate will be the negative terminal. The resulting voltage and current may be strong enough to light up a small flashlight bulb.

2. As for making X-rays, search the Internet for "Blackbody Radiation". And, you might take a look at

Keep in mind that the Sun creates all of the radiation forms that you asked about. Look up nuclear fusion on the Internet.
