I show how an X-ray fluorescence weapon works, do a teardown and failure analysis, and go over a brand-new sort of XRF tech now “readily available” on eBay.
The XRF information can be moved from the gun to a PC, and analyzed with http://pymca.sourceforge.net/ I did this for numerous materials, however ran out of time in this video to reveal the software use, which is quite involved.
