My main question at this point is why do they need 10,000 amps of drive > current to get the power output? >
What produces x-rays is instansious power production from the arc. In instansious power production, volts and amps are equivalent. Because of this, Mills can drop the amps and increase the voltage in linier proportion to get the same result from the arc. Or he can decrease the delta T on the arc. http://www.sengpielaudio.com/calculator-ohm.htm http://www.wikicalculator.com/formula_calculator/Instantaneous-power-(given-work-and-time-duration)-532.htm
