    Default Does a "Rife" machine produce X-rays?

    Simple answer - no.

    X-rays are form of extremely high frequency electromagnetic radiation - well above ultra violet light. They contain a very high energy level and it takes a very high energy level to produce them. A normal X-ray tube contains a vacuum and it works by accelerating electrons to very high speeds and smashing them into a heavy metal target. This causes electrons deep in the core of the atom to be knocked out of place which then radiate X-rays to lose the added energy. High voltages are used to accelerate the electrons - typically of the order of 60,000 volts. A typical modern plasma machine will not produce voltages anywhere near this high and so is very unlikely to accelerate electrons up to the necessary speed to produce X-rays. Secondly plasma tubes contain gas. The gas in the tubes also collides with accelerated electrons so that they don't tend to reach the target in a direct path. By the time they do they've lost a substantial proportion of their energy to the gas and so don't have enough enough residual energy to induce X-ray emission in the target. X-rays will not be produced by electron/gas collisions because the gases don't have electron shells deep enough near the nucleus to have the required energy - you need heavy metals like Tungsten for that. Additionally, impacts on tube electrodes energetic enough for X-ray emission will cause tremendous heating of the target - enough to drive the target to white heat and melt in a matter of minutes or less. X-ray tube electrodes are usually specially cooled - often with liquids. The electrodes of a typical plasma tube as used in modern Rife machine designs are just too weak to be able to withstand any sort of sustained X-ray emission.

    A normal cathode ray tube as used in a typical colour TV or computer monitor has a vacuum and works by electron impacts, it typically uses voltages around 25,000 volts. So an ordinary colour TV is far more likely to produce X-rays than a typical Rife type plasma tube. It is also worth remembering that we are constantly bombarded by X-rays from space and even from trace amounts of radioactive gases in the atmosphere. All of these are stronger sources of X-ray emission than a Rife tube.

    Finally, Rife and John Crane had their machines measured in a standards laboratory for X-ray emission and the results were certified as negative. They were using much higher voltages in their older machines than most modern variants do.
