Tribogenic chief scientist Carlos – Kamala to show miniature X-ray generator
 

September 26 message, according to foreign media reports, start-ups Tribogenics currently being developed on the new generation of the true meaning of the portable X-ray machine, the size of this X-ray machine as a laptop.
 

Portable X-ray machine has been around for nearly a hundred years time, and the reason for that is portable, only from moving perspective. Most of the existing X-ray machine is very heavy, bulky, and power consumption, equivalent to the electricity consumption of household electric water heater.
 

Tribogenics is a start-up in California, United States, the company’s goal is to use the volume of not more than notebook computer equipment to replace those bulky machines, the company is planning to use a only a chewing gum long micro-X-ray generator X-ray generator can be used to achieve this goal, a small, battery-powered X-ray machines. If successful, then this light imaging equipment can be easily transported to the battlefield frontline, to disaster areas, or transported to remote areas away from the hospital, eliminating the need to transport patients.

From scientific experiments in order to help the product to put into practical use, Tribogenics has received a $ 6.2 million investment from Pitt • Tell Founders Fund (Peter Thiel).
 

In a project funded by the U.S. Department of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), Tribogenics using a breakthrough new metal polymer technology, developed a small X-ray generator. Because this technology is still in early development stages, so Tribogenics did not disclose further details. However, the chief scientist Carlos Camara (Carlos Camara), Tribogenics revolutionized the X-ray equipment.


 

A new generation of portable X-ray machine model
 

Revolutionized X-ray generator, that is, it is Tribogenics achieve miniaturization and more energy-efficient. The Company Tribogenics embodies the energy supply for the X-ray generator – the frictional electricity generated electricity. Tribogenics X-ray generator using the same concept of self-generated electricity, and therefore only requires minimal external power can work to maintain the portable X-ray machine.
 

Portable X-ray machine in the true sense of the still need a few years to come out, Tribogenics firm, the application of such a portable X-ray machine will be more extensive. Tribogenics website picture shows the physical model of the X-ray machine, the image shows a computer screen the size of a portable X-ray machine is a lying man chest scan. This X-ray machine with a computer connected to display the scanned information.
 

Tribogenics ultimate goal is to launch a portable X-ray machine, the company is concentrating on research and development of X-ray fluorescence (that is used to detect and analyze the secondary X-ray chemicals, heavy metals and other compounds) generator . Founders Fund Partner Bruce Gibney (Bruce Gibney) is responsible for the round of financing led Tribogenic. He said: “X-rays in different areas of materials analysis and medicine has many essential applications. Nevertheless, a century of X-ray equipment is not a revolutionary change.”
