Not free energy, but useful for DIYers, and if you want to see what's in that potting in that mysterious electronic device
So I've read that older CRT monitors give off x-rays since the glass wasn't built thick enough. And I'm pretty certain that modern ones can too if the voltage is too high, or if the power is turned on or off too fast (I'm really suspicious of flashy things on the tv, and I can feel a bad sensation on my body from it), so I thought, "I wonder if you can take x-rays with Polaroid film". Sure enough, people have done it!
here's a link to a simple way to do it, with some nice x-ray Polaroid samples
Polaroid x-ray radiographs
To summarize:
-Take a picture of nothing, to allow the rollers to release the film development chemicals. Keep it out of the light.
-Within 20 seconds, while the chemicals are active, take your x-ray!
It's that simple!
I figure a small 4 or 5 inch portable black and white t.v. with a voltage multiplier of a few stages between the flyback h.v. lead and the monitor would work great!
oh, and of course, DANGER DANGER DANGER!!!! Don't be stupid with this thing! But you know that already.
