Does a homemade evacuated tube produce X rays?

X rays are produced when fast electrons hit the matter. Fast electrons are produced in a high vacuum tube by setting them free from the cathode, accelerating them through the high voltage, and having them hit the metal anode. There, they turn 0.1-1 % of their energy into X- rays (the rest goes into heat).
