Scotch tape to Field x-ray? Sure why not.

True, there is a lot of "suck" in the field, but getting an absolute vacuum is going to be hard.

As I read this today in the New York Post, the obvious question comes to the fore:

Why do these folks have that much time on their hands?

[Chief1C]

Maybe if you buy one of those Civilian Defense Field Hospitals.. you can get a portable X ray machine?

I think it's a plot between the Russians and 3M, the makers of the tape.

I'd like to know the vacuum levels and exactly how much gamma radiation is being emitted. If we're talking pulling a vacuum of 1X10-5 or greater, you better figure out where to put a roughing pump, foreline pump and a diffusion pump or ion pump (I wouldn't want to try to run a turbo pump, mag-lev or not, in a moving ambulance - good way to destroy $10k).

A fire department ambulance is the only place you could find enough suckage going on to power this thing.

1X10-13 Torr? No problem on our FD run bambilance...
