Ah, I see this subject has already been discussed in a previous thread, “New Anode Cooling ‘Limits’ Likely”, so I’ll stop being redundant with my 2 cents. Glad to see you all have been thinking about material impacts.
Actually the “New Anode Cooling ‘Limits’ Likely” thread is about the construction and cooling of the electrodes. But the x-ray capturing onion needs cooling too, and it’s not going to work with rapid prototyping, one needs the laminating technique presented here. So keep on thinking about it.
Now I’m confused, Henning. Are you ruling out CVD machines as well? Making foils this thin, coiling them, shipping the coils, and other factory type operations make me highly skeptical about building onions in volume by hand.
