tv radiaton and spores
    #5533888 - 04/19/06 02:54 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

Will storing spores ontop of a tv cause mutaion or sterlize them from the radiation being emmited for the tv??

I have been experimenting with different forms of radiation to see what effect it has on mushroom growth.
A TV emits low level X-ray radiation. It will have no effect on spores or shrooms exposed to the outside of the TV.
I have found that myc growth is slow, but much thicker if you open the tv and store spores next to the component that produces the X-rays for a week.
I have seen no visible change in the fruits.

By the way... Does anybody know how to get sharpie markers off of a computer screen?

Interesting. Although, the x-ray emissions are extremely low as far as I'm aware, boardering on zero. You get X-rays produced once the voltage of the accelerator (the cathode ray tube) goes over 25kV, so they just try to keep it lower than that. Lower voltage means a fuzzier picture though, not quite as sharp.

But monitors and TVs do produce a lot of static. Perhaps the static is in someway effecting growth? The way in which CRTs magnify the voltage might also produce higher than normal electric / magnetic field strength around themselves.

Maybe you could try an experiment with an ioniser nearby? Ozone generators work on a similar principle, just more voltage.

If you look inside the cover on most TVs. There is a warning about X-ray radiation. I found this when I shelled a TV to build a cage for some lizards.
Most of the sets I've worked on regularly peek at 25-28kv. I found no warnings on the outside. Why is it intended to be seen by service people only?
Is the plastic cover really enough to shield us from long term, low level X-ray radiation?
Now I have to try to find the best way to ground or shield Lc's from static with out interfering with X-rays that may or may not be produced in my TV.
Either way. Something in the TV is effecting myc growth.

Anyone one know of others researching in this area?

That's a pretty cool idea!

I've never seen an x-ray warning inside a TV or monitor as far as I can remember. Perhaps it's US specific?

Tubes designed to emit X-rays usually work between 30kV and 150kV I think and use a tungsten anode that spins to distribute the heat on it's surface (which can get up to 2500C in one piccy). The heat probably helps the anode emit x-rays but will also melt it if left to accumulate. But the low voltage in a CRT means that the x-rays are very soft and don't go through things nearly as well as hard x-rays. The casing of the CRT may also have some kind of code on it's production to make it better at absorping x-rays; adding some percentage of barium or something like that to the plastic.

A commercial CT scanner tube can dissipate ~100kW of juice and is only about 1% efficient. Apparently a normal CRT draws about ~140W, which is >700 times less than the CT scanner, and they aren't designed to generate x-rays efficiently.

Be interesting to get an old TV and see if you could take an X-ray photo with it.

You spores will be fine...

You on the other hand, should be sure to wear a Tinfoil Hat, to gaurd against Gamma rays and alien programming messages. That's where the real danger is.  :wink:

You're on your own.
I only have enough for my own hat!

Be carefull.... Aliens like to screw with your mind.
Look what the left in my Uncles field!!!!

foil beanies are old hat (buw hu hu hurrrrr)

everyone knows they actually focus the mind rays

or if you want to be specific, they act like an ariel and I said that if he wanted dinner then he better go and make it for mobile phone calls
