Man those girls aren't from Indianapolis...

Damn that shit is sweet. I wish all chemistry was nothing but crazy destruction like that.

Bet you wont say that if(when) the US gets hit.

Its quite obvious how the worlds gonna end. That was just a preview.

In a few decades, nuclear energy will be nothing more than an energy source. There will be much more destructive weapons that make nuclear weapons seem like cap guns.

When dynamite was invented, it was considered a powerful explosive. When nitroglycerin was synthesized it was also, and so was ammonium nitrate, but now, these can be assembled by any junior chemist in a matter of minutes. The atomic bomb Little Boy was 14 kilotons when it was dropped on Hiroshima, but the Tsar Bomb was 50 megatons, making it over 3500 times more powerful than Little Boy. It's only a matter of time before we find a source that emits more thermonuclear energy than plutonium.

Like when matter collides with anti-matter.

The Tsar Bomb was a H-bomb not a plutonium bomb tho? I throught they stop using plutonium then started using uranium, and now is fusing the hydrogen atom which is the lightest atom of them all? Right?

I throught you were this site science guy! This is 2005 not 1944!

Well god hand, let science guy break it down for your feeble little mind. Hydrogen, plutonium, uranium and suckmydickium are all elements used to create atomic chain reactions, making them nuclear bombs. The kiloton system is a means of measuring an atomic bombs power, and 1 kiloton=1000 tons of TNT. A hydrogen bomb is a type of nuclear fusion where a small atomic bomb ignites the fusion process while nuclear weapons using uranium and plutonium work off of the prinicple of nuclar fission. I'm not sure what you're asking in that last part, but plutonium and uranium or used for fission and hydrogen for fusion.

Plutonium releases about 10% of it's matter to energy (if memory serves), while matter/anit-matter releases 100% of its energy.

I'm saying there cant be a more powerful bomb than the H-bomb. Because hydrogen is the lightest and most explosive atom. (Warning! I am not sure if I know what the hell I'm saying is true, so it might not make since)

Well, im not sure, but hydrogen is used because it is positively charged and because it's so light, not because it's light weight releases the most energy. See what i'm saying? One mole of hydrogen has a mass of only 1.008 grams while one mole of another cation like sodium has a mass of 22.99 grams. This is good because the ignition of fusion has to take place at very very high temperatures, in the millions of degrees I think, and this has to take place in a very confined space so that the ignition energy isn't lost. E=mc^2 shows that the more mass you have, the more energy you need to increase the temperature, so it would take less energy to heat 50 moles of hydrogen to the fusion temperature than 50 moles of sodium. Once the fusion temperature is reached, two positively charged hydrogen nuclei fuse together and form a helium nucleus. The mass of the helium nucleus that forms is less than the two hydrogen, and the difference is released as energy, and that's thermonuclear energy.

the reason hydrogen is used is because it can sustain a chain reaction not because it can be positively charged. duterium or tritium is what is used to make the thermonuclear warhead (more specifically lithium6, because it decays into duterium or tritium). the reason this is important is because you need the extra neutrons in the nucleus to sustain the reaction. without the lithium the bomb would be too big. (the first thermonuclear weapon detonated used liquid hydrogen and was the size of a large house). everything else gococks wrote is spot on from what i can remember from what i studied of this. The book the making of the atomic bomb by richard rhodes explains this subject in great detail and can be understood even if one is not a nuclear physics guru

Man those girls aren't from Indianapolis...

You idiots don't realize the power of the Flux Capacitor.

The SuperFlex bomb... It's going to work on a whole new level of genius. Of course I will be the lead scientist... This is how it works... I've concocted a new means for the superior bomb. It doesn't feed on any internal fuel source but rather external. It still feeds off hydrogen but that which is airborn. The revolutionary thinking that's been put into my smart bomb is unparrelled. Albert Einstein , what a jackass...

It literally ignites the hydrogen in the air. The current prototype is the size of a pen and packs enough explosive power, do to the remarkable engineering, to blow up the world 6,423 times over! We plan to test it this Friday just off the coast of California. Hopefully it works. Everybody say their prayers...

I hope you kidding, dumbass!

Oh, I figured it just brow-beat you until you convert to Christianity.

Of course I was kidding dipsiznit. And I mean that in the gayest of ways...

From what I remember, the H-bomb has an atomic bomb inside of it. Why? Because when the Atomic bomb goes off, the incrediable amounts of heat energy released sets off a chain reaction you know where I'm going.

You're correct. There is an atomic device inside hydrogen bombs, which is used to generate enough heat to begin the fusion reaction. So the fission reaction initiates the fusion reaction.

Okay I'm just havin fun now

String theory is outdated. Replaced and accepted by MOST by brane theory, or membrane theory.

Brane theory is just a more advanced String theory, or M Theory, which basically says strings, that previously existed in 10 dimensions, are the intersection of Manifolds (M) in eleven dimension space, which correspond with M-Branes in 4 dimensional space. But Brane theory is already beginning to evolve, the newest is D-Brane Theory

I see what you are saying about hydrogen sustaining the chain reaction, but I think the fact that hydrogen is a cation with a +1 charge is one of the main reasons why it works so well. The two positively charged atoms will repel each other, unless you expose them to extremely high temperatures, so their nuclear strong force can overcome their charge repulsion and force them to fuse together. The formula of Coulombs Barrier of fusion is U=ke^2/r, e is the proton charge, k is Coulombs constant and r is the radius when nuclear attractive forces become stronger than the electron repulsion, meaning as charge increased, so would the required temperature. But i'm not sure if this is correct.

charge never comes into play in a nuclear reaction. heat is a huge factor in this reaction, but so is pressure. many atoms can have a positive charge and a cation, but only with hydrogens isotopes under the correct circumstances do you get a h-bomb. its the same reason u-235 or pu-239 are used in a fission bomb. they give off nutrons to sustain the reaction. plenty of other atomic isotopes are radioactive, but that does not mean they can support a reaction.

these are the steps involved in a thermonuclear weapon.


The fission bomb imploded, giving off X-rays.
These X-rays heated the interior of the bomb and the tamper; the shield prevented premature detonation of the fuel.
The heat caused the tamper to expand and burn away, exerting pressure inward against the lithium deuterate.
The lithium deuterate was squeezed by about 30-fold.
The compression shock waves initiated fission in the plutonium rod.
The fissioning rod gave off radiation, heat and neutrons.
The neutrons went into the lithium deuterate, combined with the lithium and made tritium.
The combination of high temperature and pressure were sufficient for tritium-deuterium and deuterium-deuterium fusion reactions to occur, producing more heat, radiation and neutrons.
The neutrons from the fusion reactions induced fission in the uranium-238 pieces from the tamper and shield.
Fission of the tamper and shield pieces produced even more radiation and heat.
The bomb exploded.

Charge is a very big factor in nuclear fusion, which is what a hydrogen bomb is. There is a substantial energy barrier opposing nuclear fusion, and there are two basic forces that together make nuclear reactions as powerful as they are, which are electrostatic force and strong nuclear force.


Hydrogen is beneficial because it has the smallest nuclear charge so it reacts at the lowest temperature. Helium's mass per nucleon is very low, which is why it's favored as a fusion product from an energy standpoint. That's why hydrogen bombs combine hydrogen isotopes to form helium isotopes. The entire fusion reaction is completely dependent upon the fact that the two hydrogen nuclei are repelling each other due to the fact that they are like charges, both being +1. The extreme heat is needed to accelerate the rate of the reaction, because the hydrogen nuclei need to be pushed together close enough to the point where strong nuclear force overcomes electrostatic repulsion. When strong nuclear force takes over, they will fuse, forming a helium isotope and releasing energy, and the destructiveness of the bomb is dependent upon this reaction occuring again and again in a very quick period of time. It's basic nuclear physics.

Very good, my student. You have learned much in my introduction to atomic particles and stuff 101 course.

nucleowned?

strong and weak nuclear forces are acting upon atoms regardless of wheather they are charged particles or not. they deal with the forces present in an atom at the nucleus. for instance in the nucleus of a helium atom you have two protons or two positively charged particles which should repel each other. the fact they are held together is because of strong and weak nuclear forces. nothing in the literature ive read indicates the electron must be stripped off of the hydrogen atom before a thermonuclear reaction will occur. the energy released is due to the fact that you have a loss of mass in a fission or fusion reaction. the duterium or tritium are not charged particles.
