The blue LED was supposed to be impossible—until a young engineer proposed a moonshot idea.

This was an yet another glorious episode from veritasium.
I hope we get well past UVC LEDs. (i.e., shorter wavelengths) UV LEDs are already available. Unfortunately, this progress will stop before X-ray light. With +1 KeV energy, you pretty much must blast off the electrons from the atoms to emit X-rays, which an x-ray tube already does. Or by peeling off a piece of scotch tape.
Maybe making X-ray emitters cheap enough to put in a flashlight isn’t the best idea anyway.
Maybe not in a flashlight, but the scientific industry would be very pleased with them. Sterilize water and all surfaces in a second? Flash with 200nm light.
Handheld battery powered X-ray devices exist and are widely available. I used to work with those. In Germany you need a permit to operate them. https://www.thermofisher.com/order/catalog/product/de/en/XL2
How about cheap enough to put in a fleshlight?
If you have a bone in your penis, you may not be fully human.
Otherwise, don’t x-ray your penis.
Good advice, but I put a Kleenex in my urethra for safekeeping and I’d love to track it down to get it out again.
Amateur. It’s in the scrotum along with all the pee.
Next time you have to fart just squeeze your butt cheeks together real hard. It’ll pop right out.
The fart?
You tell me. Your user name suggests some expertise.

More efficient compact X-ray generators would be pretty huge for science work. We run the diffractometer in my lab at 2 kW and it still takes hours to get a good quality scan
Sorry sir I have no idea what you are talking about
