TALE OF THE IMPLODING TV

Here is the article: http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,837185,00.html

And here is the circuit: http://www.mcmlv.org/Archive/Radio/CTC5A.pdf

Look for the 3A3 tube as it is the X-ray radiating tube.

       So the tv has this voltage regulator tube (modern crts have passive regulation built into the flybacks) spewing xrays.  Xray emradiation is at ionizing wavelengths.
In brief the interatomic dielectric field gets messed with and you end up with a neucleus all by itself and the rest of the mass stripped from the atom.  Ultraviolet light same thing.  So we got ionization and we got magnetic and electrostatic fields and all sorts of forces to initiate transmutation of elemental matter into plasmic matter.  Plasma is damn near superconductive at room temperature and the set is throwing 30kv into the mix and dense magnetic fields.

Here is the tube.
It is sitting right next to the flyback.
You can see the wire from the flyback it is directly connected to the hat of the tube.
See how close it is to the other components, if this tube would generate X-ray's, it can certainly affect the other components on the chassis.

What do X-Rays have to do with the television becoming the center of some sort of implosion effect?
