Your biggest limiting factor in achievable vacuum for your setup besides the seals in the system, would actually be the pumping oil itself in your vacuum pump. At a high enough vacuum level the oil will start to evaporate and prevent further pumping of gases from your system. If you have the budget now and still play with this I highly recommend a used diffusion pump and more advanced chamber design
@plumcrazzzy thanks for the kind words. X-rays are possible, but a much harder vacuum would be required, probably a micron or less. However, with a proper vacuum pump, making the tube would be easy other than sealing. Cold cathode mode works fine, especially if you use a high voltage high current pulse and run it as a pulse x-ray tube. I don't think magnetic fields would do too much for an xray tube though.
Nice plasma. I have done that to and I wonder if it could make X-ray radiation seems that with a magnetic field to accelerate the electrons it could be even more likely you should get some film I've heard that polaroid film well work . I Like your videos alot :)
@sirHOAX Other than ghetto? :-P It was a MOT with it's primary driven by an 80v transformer (for the sake of isolation and current limiting for safety), and 110kohms in series to limit the current to the jar.
If you wrap wire around the container and make an electromagnet out of it, you can direct the flow of particles and influence the plasma. But I agree, its difficult to produce x-rays especially if the vacuum is unstable like yours appears to be... not to mention that it is extremely difficult to produce x-rays with A/C supplies since the current is constantly changing. With a DC supply, I'd be more worried, but it doesn't hurt to check with a Geiger Counter.
@sirHOAX Well technically they are ballasts, but they could be used the same. But why use that when i could just use an 80v transformer i already had? :-P. I could just use an inductor in series with the power supply MOT to mains to get the full 120v on the primary, but this jar only drops a few hundred volts so more voltage wouldn't help much.

I would like to see an experiment with Solar Panels around the jar.

The vacuum leaked out? xD
@bonecrime I opened the ball valve at the end.
