[PSUBS-MAILIST] X ray Submarine art.

[Christopher Cave via Personal_Submersibles]

James,
 
I have a 2yr degree in X-ray Technology (I'm an X-ray Technologist). I take x-rays of people in the hospital. The x-rays won't harm the acrylic. It takes a lot of kvp & mas (voltage & amount of electrons) to penetrate metal. Plus there is a scattering effect when some of the electrons bounce off instead of going through the metal. I suggest you don't be in the area when he takes the x-rays! If you are have plenty of shielding & distance between you and the x-ray source & the x-ray target, it might be ok to hang around. Good luck!
 
Regards,
Chris

Hi All,

Ive been contacted by a London artist who specialises in X-ray imagery.  He wants to produce an X ray image of a psub.  I'm not really that fussed about it myself, plus all the hastle involved.  Also im not sure what X rays would do to acrylic.  Probably nothing, but you never know. 

Anyway, Its not for me but he seems a nice enough guy and I promised i'd see if there was anyone interested.  Contact me off list.

His website.
