Yes, Jim. I used to be concerned about the possible X-ray hazzards of
Tesla Coils period so for several years I wore radiation badges while
running any of my coils, including those with magneticaly quenched
gaps and the result was that no detectable X-rays are produced in the
normal operation of any Tesla Coil. I did once get a nasty exposure
when I ran a Tesla coil in a room that had an old X-ray tube on the
shelf, I now keep all X-ray tubes in Faraday shields so as to avoid
this from occuring again.
Sincerely
