    - 03 Sep 2007
    In order to get an oral examination done I've read stuff about Roenten tubes: Operating voltages: lets say 15 to 80 kV (yes, k is for kilo and that means: *1000) CT Scanners: Operating voltages 60 to 120 kV MegaVolt CT Cancer therapy device: Operating voltages up to 6 MV (= 6000 kV) Tried to start my car without success: Operating voltage of the battery in my car: 0 V   (Yeah, I know, that's probably not correct, though it's a nice story.)

Die Gründe, die genannt werden: Rohstoffkosten und erhöhte Nachfrage auf dem Weltmarkt, insbesondere in Asien. Äh, wie bitte? 1) Die Rohstoffpreise steigen ständig. Alles wird teurer.
