A-bomb Simulation (1.million pounds TNT)

[MontanaCheeky]

its 1MT not pounds! ITS 1000X10KG OF TNT. My great-uncle was there, as he was at the great central tests in South Australia in the 60's.

[emiljen2]

what a waste of time and money !!!!!!!!

[SayHI2TheBadGuyMang]

This is just the blast of a small atomic weapon.... this doesn't take the incredible heat or radioactive effects into account either. A full on thermonuclear device would make this look like a cherry bomb.

[mentality111]

But will it blend?

[MrJakethebaker420]

@mentality111 FUCK NO IT WONT!!!!

[TheToastPeople]

that was awesome

[HJtheminer]

We need this bomb in the middle east...

[HDvideoedit]

@HJtheminer yay i live there

[nadoeloiskat]

They've tested ships by using real nukes in the bikinis so why waste so much dynamite to test the fake nuke?

[geckoboy222]

@nadoeloiskat The cost and possible radiation poisoning to crew members. you don't need a super weapon to simulate an actual event. :)

[jesterjoker97]

this is non-nuclear weapon that's awesome!

[branch1234]

um..2500 pounds versus 1 million pounds...i dont think theres a comparison

[Landotter1]

Wonder what a 2500 pound MOAB bomb would have done.....

[idmix]

iluminati

[fowzie777]

what were those assholes in the planes thinking? "uh....lets get a closer look hyuk hyuk!!!"

[johan6693]

impressive simulation but a nuclear bomb would be alot more devastating then that

[phillipdogyface]

what are those wierd smoky line things floating around after the bang?

[maxymyllyon]

the music is confusingly intense

[ChErRyaVe20pK]

Did they died?

[BaldaZlodziej06330]

0:54 - Is it UFO?????????

[Allen7111]

Fuck the pyramid with the eye.

[gasb911]

the U.S. should take half the military budget and put it in healthcare or to make a new jobs the ppl will be happy

and if we take the cost of Iraq war money and spent it on ppl everyone will be rich

insted of searching for "Mass destruction weapons" my god it was a big joke

[levski221]

they need to use this on the taliban :P

[amitulhoque]

what is this to do with a lumminati symbol

[upthedub1]

i'd plant that in a Garda station...

[djrsbright]

At 0:58 Is what surrounds the explosion watervaper made visible by the force of the blast/ sounds waves?

[danner253]

its the xrays being absorbed by the surrounding air

[lolwtfl0l]

I thought that was a real person until they said "mannequin"

[surfnstv]

This is not an A-Bomb simulation whatsoever!

Its a blast effects test using STANDARD explosives on the Shores of Hawaii

Way misleading

[Spunkylorp]

@surfnstv  Don't you know what 'Simulation' means?

[ba3cool]

That's one hell of a overpressure wave. If you were unfortunate enough to be standing next to that dummy. Your eardrums would be blown out your ass.

[DoctorMago]

1 milion pounds tnt is equivalent to how many kilotons for a nuke?

[Kayato601]

kiloton misure all kind of explosive,1 kt is 1000 ton of tnt (i don't know in pound)

[DoctorMago]

I want to know how many ktons is this bomb. I want to compare this with a nuke. I think this bomb is more or less 1 kton equivalent but I'm not sure

[Kayato601]

is only "Kt" to say kiloton

as i say before i use metrical system so i try some comversion (i can do mistake)

......i think half Kt....but not sure......

some famous nuke

Little Boy 13Kt (hiroshima)

Fat Man 20Kt (nagasaki)

Castle Bravo 15Mt (biggest U.S. nuke tested)

Tsar 50Mt (biggest nuke ever tested......russian)

[behemuth]

1 tonne = 1000 kg, 1 pound = 0.453 kg so 1000 divided by 0.453 = 2200 pounds a tonne, so 2200 x 1000 = 2.2 million tonnes... in other words, this blast was less than 0.5 kilotonnes, or 500 tonnes... bah tiny blast, a nuke of that size could be launched by a shoulder fired launcher or tank shell.

[Buuub08]

Around 500 tons, although its not as strong as a 0.5kt nuke.

As you can see there a lot of flame meaning that the explosion lacked oxygen as a large part of the carbon from TNT simply burned.

Also the shockwave duration of this explosion is far lower than that of a nuke.

TNT equivalent for nukes doesnt really mean that its as strong as a certain amount of TNT exploding. What it means that it releases the energy equal that to amount of TNT. Feel the difference?

[DoctorMago]

Yes I understand...There's no thermal effect too...half kton is a great blast anyway...I didn't expect a shockwave like that. I'm curious about a small yeld nuke exploding in the center of a town at street level...I am convinced that only few buildings would collapse...in all american tests they never tried a blast on a densely built area...the shockwave would be limitated in its expansion by the presence of concrete buildings.

[Buuub08]

Explosions at ground level are actually relatively ineffective.

Well, if a 0.5kt was to go off in a city... it would completely wipe out everything in about a 300m radius, a severely damaging blast wave would travel out to about 700m.

Quite a few buildings would collapse or be damaged although not from the blast but rather the ground vibrations, probably as far as several km away, not to mention shattered windows.

[bria2771]

why yes i did

[PhattyMo]

I wouldn't put it past him!

[T3sl4]

I farted. Excuse me.

[GeRzAwN]

@T3sl4

LMAO

[jack4026]

@T3sl4 lol. You should apologize to the earth because you hurt her.

[Flyingfast79]

I can simulate this explosion by going to taco bell, cause I bet ya I ain't gonna be running for the border lmao

[xabangafyx]

i will put the bomb in your ass hole :)

[Crim15]

Just out of Curiousity, does this amount of TriNitroToluene cost as much as a Megaton Nuke?..

[Kayato601]

i think a nuke cost less of 1million of tnt....for sure a nuke is smallest.....but this was only a experimet for study nuke shockwave without radioation

[Crim15]

Anyway, that amount of explosives can still be obtained without spending a buck. Then again, same with nukes..

[bouncingsoul100]

you can fit a nuke in yo9ur ass lol

[FIyboy31]

wait so this explosion wasn't a small nuke at all, just tnt?

[Kayato601]

...yes....only tnt

[missingno777]

boom

[Ravenpulse]

wish there was real sound

[CombatArmsReport]

wow.... 1 ton of tnt is huge!!! I cant beleive the tsar bomb has 56 million tons of tnt..

[kingobnoxious]

Great video, too bad about the fake sound.

[KameSama77]

ummm... there's also a massive heat blast from a real nuclear explosion... in my opnion i'd think that would be a bit damaging too. at least to organic material.

[warr1088]

times that by 57 and u get the tsar

[nukepwetty]

the description says 1 million pounds not tons, so the yield would be 500 tons of TNT (.5 kilo). so tsar is 114000 times the power (if my math is right)

[shawnshawn426]

yeah thats about correct.

[fowzie777]

@nukepwetty - actually its not even close to the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs....

[watsupyo888]

@nukepwetty I guess that would blow up half of North America Continent?

[nukepwetty]

@watsupyo888 there's actually a calculator for that somewhere on the internet

[9911MU51C]

@watsupyo888 actualy the tsar bomb around half of minnesota...

[9911MU51C]

@nukepwetty so would this be a equal to a 5 kiloton or a .5 kiloton nuke?

[nukepwetty]

@9911MU51C

.5 kiloton (1,000,000Ibs/2,000Ibs=500 tons/1000=kilotons)

[MontanaCheeky]

@9911MU51C its a "1 thousand TIMES 1 ton of tnt  A thousand thousand....., ie, One Million Kilograms of TNT (EQUIVALENT)"

[forestofrencho]

compwiz00, how do you know the sound is fake??????

[MartianMatthew]

the sound should be heard with the shockwave and not the actual explosion after all a shockwave travels at the speed of sound and sound travels at... well... the speed of sound, not light.

[Shitdudeee]

Thrue

[acsempronio]

actually, the explosive velocity at G-Zero is 6900m/s The shock wave slows as it moves, but it's still going faster than the speed of sound.

sonic=330m/s

[dreadbet]

I wonder what kinda of power of the sound this explosion must liberate.

[compwiz00]

Damn fake sound, why do they always remove the real sound?

[kevinredstoneplayer]

DAMMMMMMM

[Individuality1990]

not 500kg lol....500,000kg. 500 tonnes...like.....50 busses packed to the roof with TNT

[Agentoxedo07]

holy-terrorist:>faaaaake *=*

[Individuality1990]

fake? I'm sorry....do you know ANYTHING about explosives?

[Runazarag]

pounds ? wtf

where are kilotons ??

[Individuality1990]

1 million pounds is about 0.4 kiloton

[Runazarag]

thank you ::)

[ldragonheart]

1 million puunds is 0.5 kiloton

[Individuality1990]

0.4... a kilogram is equal to 2.21 pounds...do the maths properly.

Well its 0.453 to be exact but yeah

[ldragonheart]

1 ton=2000 lbs, 1 kiloton 2,000,000 lbs do the math!!!!

kilogram is a different measure, kiloton is a reference to TNT--- THE EXPLOSIVE!!!!!!

[Individuality1990]

i know what TNT is mate I've been with defence for over 3 years and my bad, we are both right, just i have the metric system in my area, you must have imperial

[ldragonheart]

ya kiloton is not metric, weard i know, sad usa it still using imperial.

[CuteIbabanez]

00:55 ?

what are those things ?

[lwkleijn]

surveillance baloons

[mightycowhero]

actually, mr. narrator, nukes are much stronger than this.

[Individuality1990]

no shit....its a tactical nuke simulation. nukes range from anything to the mininal critical mass which is 6kg of uranium, which is what this was, to over 100kg of uranium which is equal to a 20 kiloton blast of TNT

[ycats1000]

man thats insane...

they should have put some cows on the ships :D

[iamreallyhappy12]

lol

[Craz1000]

this explosion = .5 kiloton nuke

[Aodaliyah]

.5 megaton you dumbass. .5 kiloton is 500 kilos...

[Darvas73]

Actually it is 0,5 kilotons(500 tons).

[Individuality1990]

lol you idiot....500kg...lol *slap forehead* a kilo ton is 1000 tones...so whats half of that? 500 tonnes...

hate to think how much tax payer money they spent that amount of explosives

[DataWaveTaGo]

Thanks!

BTW - 1 million pounds, not tons.

[SmiertSpionem]

Wow!
