150kv transformer

Hi there experts!

So, i am currently working with on building a x-ray machine using a old russian x-ray tube.

The tube requires 150 kv, and i tend to build some kind of power supply for it, but my question is: what type?

What i mean is that i could problebly build a tesla coil, marx generator, or some kind of combo of sort to power the tube, but i wonder:

What would be the easyes and most cost efficient sort of power supply to power it?

    Hi magnus2112
    Actually I've never tried that, so I'm going to bookmark this for future. image
    But I believe I saw similar thing made by this great man.. Check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkGVMWK10qU
    and this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzSoabcQYMg

    He did something similar I don't know in which video but you can check. And I bet you can't watch it without laughing once during his whole video(all of his videos are same fun)..

    I hope it helps!
