The document discusses the components and workings of an X-ray machine. It is comprised of a high voltage generator, X-ray tube, autotransformer, high voltage transformer, rectifier, tungsten filament, and operating console. X-rays are produced when high-speed electrons emitted from a filament collide with a metallic target in the X-ray tube. The electrons are accelerated using kilovolts peak (kVp) and milliamps (mA) which causes the electrons to lose kinetic energy upon impact, transforming it into X-ray radiation. Main components include the X-ray tube which houses the filament and target, as well as circuits to heat the filament and accelerate the electrons.
