i would like to create a beam of light through argon gas using electrons. Similar to the crooks tube, but without the phosphorus coating on the side of the tube. I have seen them built without the coating.. just using gas instead.

also is there any material that we could use to cause a slower decent rate of the electrons, eg wood, glass ?? which is better?

Thanks so much for you input. Lets say i can get the voltage down to 10kv, it should fall in the realm of safe working without having to protect myself from xrays?

Hi Lets say i had a vacuum and was fireing electrons at 15kv at a piece of wood or glass. Is there any danger of xrays from the electron bombardment or does this only occur when they hit hard metals? Cheers Nick
