tsar bomba did not display the same amount of radiation fallout as castle bravo.. the cloud glows for a very very long period of time, the deadly radiation is more deadly than blast damage. And brighter too. I fear this to be more deadly weapon than tsar bomba, if dropped in tokyo.
@Apoic123 Tsar bomba did not have the same amount of radiation because the designers used a tamper made out of lead instead of U238. They did this on purpose to minimize the amount of fallout created as much as possible. A Tsar Bomb with a tamper made of U238 would increase the yield of the bomb to 100 megatons, and release copious amounts of radioactive fallout.
Now that Nuclear Bombs exsist there is no getting rid of them. People need to except that. No country is going to get rid of all of their nukes. Even if they say they do they are lying. Having Nuclear Bombs is now the only insurance policy against being attacked by nuclear bombs
They detonated it and a bunch of islanders got radiation sickness and died, this was classified so many visitors, later on, to these islands got sick and died.
@coolguy10038 Yeh, along with it being a Hydrogen device, for a split of a second, that fireball contains all the elements that exsists in the known universe. 350 milion degrees seems overkill, but more than the sun's 4 milion degrees celcius, no doubt. Bit rusty on my physics though.
how the fuck do they film these bombs going off like how they have cameras like 50 metres away froma tree and the tree preety much gets destroyed but the cameras stilll there filming everything
There is a theoretical limit for the minimum weight a thermonuclear bomb can be. It amounts to 6 megatons of yield per ton of bomb. The minimum weight for Castle Bravo would have been 3 tons; the weaponized version was 7.5 tons. For Tsar Bomba, it would have been 18 tons (for the 100 MT version); it actually weighed in at 27 tons.
@puncheex What the hell are you talking about? There is a minimum mass for a fission bomb since it requires critical mass, but that's around 23 kg with a yield of 10 - 12 tons of TNT. Since a thermonuclear bomb requires a fission trigger, that trigger has to have at least a yield of 10-12 tons of TNT. If you could make a pure fusion bomb, there is no minimum size or yield. Not sure what the hell you are trying to say, but whatever it is, you're wrong.
@EnigmaHood: The hell I'm talking about is the existence of a limitation on the yield/mass ratio for thermonuclear bombs. Unfortunately I cannot take credit, which is to Dr. Theodore Taylor, former nuclear weapon designer and later nuclear disarmament advocate. I'm so happy you're so absolutely sure of yourself, because it gives me real high-quality insight on your your nuke savvy. Look on wiki, "Nuclear Bomb Yield", at the diagram at the top. Squint if you have to.
@puncheex Limitation? Now you're saying the exact opposite of what you were claiming before. A limitation is an upper limit, what you were claiming before was a lower limit. In any case, there is no upper limit to how large an H-bomb can be. You obviously don't know what you are talking about.
@EnigmaHood: Go back and read what I wrote. Is it possible you are mistaken? A limit is a limitation: you cannot build a bomb below the limit. I said there "there is a minimum weight". Reading comprehension, maybe?
If it has x kT yield, it will mass at least x/6 kg. Sure, you can build a bomb as large as you want, but your missile had better have a throw weight greater than 4 metric tons if you want to loft 24 MT of yield, or MIRV six 4-MT bombs. As I said.
@puncheex No, there's no such lower limit aside from the lower limit to how small you can make a fission reaction. Thermonuclear weapons have a theoretical max limit of 1 megaton per kilogram, but actually approaching that efficiency has not been demonstrated. The B41 bomb was the most efficient bomb created with an efficiency of 5.2 kilotons/kg
I thought about what you were saying, and actually you ARE trying to say what the max efficiency was for a thermonuclear bomb is. You're just phrasing it in a retarded way. Ok I actually tried your calculation to see if it matched the figures I have. The B41 bomb was 25,000KT. 25,000/6= 4166.7kg is the min mass for that bomb according to you. The mass of the actual bomb was 4,850 kg so that's within your parameters. However according to my source, max efficiency for a fusion bomb..
...is 1 megaton/kg. So max theoretical efficiency gives us a bomb that is only 25kg in mass. However that might be the max efficiency for a pure fusion warhead, and not a fission/fusion/fission warhead which is what hydrogen bombs use. HOWEVER, the US claimed in 1963 that they could make a 35MT bomb that massed only 3,700kg which should make it twice as efficient as the B41. However it was never built so it's not fair to claim that refutes your numbers.
And low, the russias responded with the largest ordnance known to man. The west named it the "tsar", the Russians named it "in soviet russia" we called it 50 megatons. A five stage thermonuclear device which was deliverable from a russian T-95 bear. The Americans had a 20 ton flask that fluked into giving 3 times the power than originally thought. Russia had a very real 100 megaton world ender. The Russians aced flight, rockets, space, bombs, jet fighters, tanks, machine guns ect ect
@Canoodle4Yoodle: Ahhhhh...The Russians named it Vanya. It was a three stage device (I'm not aware of a "five stage" device ever being designed), 27 tons in weight. The Castle Bravo bomb was a dry lithium bomb, which with minor weaponization became the Mark 21, at 15,000 lbs (7.5 tons). Your crystal ball needs polishing.
Does anyone have a particularly good understanding of the fireball formation and evolution of megaton range explosions? I have always been perplexed by what is going on here. What is that strange globular formation that forms at the top of these fireballs? Why does it initially flash very brightly, then die down, and then suddenly glow with incredible intensity?
@philritter21 As far as I know, a nuclear weapon has just one flash. But the appearance of a double flash happens because the xrays burn everything around the fireball. All of the burning nitrogen and oxygen produce a opaque, dirty shell around the fireball. After it is all burned off, the fireball can punch through the shell and we see its full luminosity. We see it only on large bombs even though it happens to small ones aswell, it happens so fast, we cannot see the dip in light.
I don't think the first fireball is Bravo. It looks too small and the causeway is still visible. Although some pics are of Bravo, the detonations are from two different bombs. The one at 0:45 is in a different part of the atoll. I wish they would put up a video of Bravo complete.
@davids2000 I think youre right. The island to the right looks like Bogon, which was the island at the end of the Ivy Mike causeway... which would explain the causeway remnants. My guess is that this is Castle Nectar, which was exploded on a barge inside the Mike crater. It was like 1.5MT if I remember right, so that looks about the right size.
@davids2000 This footage is a mishmash of pictures from various Castle shots. The first one is Nectar, the next two I'm unsure about, then you have Union, Romeo, Bravo, Romeo and finally Bravo.
@davids2000 I don't know about any. However, in one of the government film reports (search for "operation castle" on archive (dot) org) there is more footage (including an insane closeup on a fireball, the film quality is unfortunately pretty crappy). In "Atomic Filmmakers" there is good quality footage (it's the same as the last clip here but it lasts longer). On sonicbomb (dot) com you can see some very good shots since the author of that site also is interested in this stuff.
It's the most beautiful nuclear blas ever. The vision of the deepest hell, plenty of a dark fire that never stop burning. I could see it forever in extasis.
@soccerfieldful : Even though the Tsar Bomba was bigger and deadlier, it wasn't practical to use. Caste Bravo however, could easily be mass produced and used without much trouble.
this is what they should do to the us mexico border =) well everyone should be in evac and since barely anyone really liv in 300 miles diameter, try three of these =) with a half life of 15000 years some radiactive elements will kee these guys out for years lol.
Terrifying... I do believe it was Einstien (who's principles led to the development of such weapons) who once said: "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."
this bomb does not just send waves of destruction when u see the mushroom forming its taking in air so say your close to the bomb and you survive the waves youll end up suffcating or how ever you spell it
i dont know what the destructive radius of 15 megatons would be, the csar bomba (50 megatons) caused 3rd degree burns as far as 60+ miles away, and structures were severely damaged or destroyed as far as 80+ miles away. so that just goes to show that if they did detonate a 100 megaton device, id double those numbers.
@derekwall25 This blast would basicly destroy everything within 20-30 kilometers. The fireball of the Tsar Bomba was 8 kilotmeters in diameter and would easily compeltely obliterate a city the size of Paris.
This is not the explosion of Castle bravo ... O.o ?! We can see two different footages of the fireball in this clip and they're the explosions of Ivy mike and Romeo !
@Antoonioandco, yes you are right, though the clip contains true extracts of Castle Bravo explosion from "Trinity and beyond". I guess Castle Romeo was included as it is so spectacular.
@Maserito Are there any records of the explosion (inside and orther point of view) of Castle Bravo? This is top secret? In fact there is not much archival footage of the first U.S. thermonuclear tests for the public ...
@Antoonioandco: Not much? I don't know how much there is all told, but they did release 98 films before the money allocated under Clinton was exhausted. AFAIK, most of the material on bomb testing (not to speak of construction and other esoterica), as well as a complete list of ALL US tests, up until about 1980, was released in the 90s.
Little do some people know that this Experiment was a "Successful failure" The thing worked, but it was far larger than they expected (They only wanted a 5 megatons!)
@geert574 It happened because the fusion fuel was a mix of Lithium-6 and Lithium-7 (isotopes) in approximatelly 2 to 3 quantities... Scientists thought that only Lithium-6 will take part in the reaction but they were wrong as Lithium-7 also fissioned and later fusioned during the deuterium-tritium chain reaction. Check wikipedia for further details
....I have a feeling this was just the biggest US nuclear device to be TESTED, I would bet money that with all of the data collected from these tests that the US build a more powerful weapon.....but hasn't detonated it.
@Fourteen88SoCal The theoretical limit, by delibery size, is 1.3 gigaton for the Russian heavy bomber, and 700 megaton for the current spacecraft delivery systems in the U.S.
@Fourteen88SoCal not if your 5 miles or more from the fireball, You get burnt alive by the light, slowly taking your skin off before the blast wave hits. Then you got blown away 100ft if your outside.. If you survived the burns and the blast your all ready dead from the gamma ray burst and fallout later on.
@Fourteen88SoCal: No. American policy people in the AEC and the military apparently never could make a case for a weapon this big. It simply was not needed. It was a propaganda weapon; once used, it was dead.
@S2000XC have a sense of humor or get off the internet you loser. How do you know i didnt cause the big bang. You have just as much proof that its me or that its god or that its an alien's science fair project.
We would have shit the bed if we were nearby. Heck, people did shit the bed when this went off. A few guys on the Estes later said, "We thought the fireball was going to engulf us". Some said that they got 10 REMs off of the fallout.
@paintballgundown8 actually no , the sun has solar flare with also go through nuclear fusion, which is far more powerful than nuclear weapons, the earth is so tiny compared to the whole universe, the explosion will be almost nothing compared to god can pausiblly do, dont make god jokes there aint funny.
add on note, if the soviets wanted the tsar bomb could have easily been made 100 megatonnes but the scientist scaled it down on purpose to reduce fallout
its amazing how something like this, made of NATURAL ELEMENTS can be so beautiful yet so destructive, and of course, humans had to interfere with the destructive state of the elements.
something like this might save our butts if an asteroid is getting too close to our orbit for comfort
and no, i don't mean blow it up wholesale, i mean detonate it off to the side, causing the surface of the asteroid facing it to vaporize and offgas, pushing the asteroid in the opposite direction.
that's the case in which something like 100 megatons would be useful, or possibly even 1000 (the upper limit is still unknown) by adding more hydrogen stages off the primary fission stage.
the miscalculation happened because lithium 7 looses a proton and becomes lithium 6 the fuel needed for the reaction . the bomb had a ratio of 30% lithium 6 and 70% lithium 7
Castle bravo was FUCKIN HUGE But no where near the Communist wrath or 50 megatons Other thing is why do they make these pointless bombs They try to beat eachother (In all honesty i think its for our amusement ^^ )
@GregoryBBG : Reason why the Us never tried to out due this one, was that anything more than 15 MT is unconventional. It's overkill beyond overkill, and the radiation afterwards is a HUGE problem. That's the same reason why Russia cut the Tsar Bomba's payload in half to 50 MT, instead or the original 100.
1:15-1:17 - Looks like the mouth of a snake in the middle of the mushroom cloud. Strange how the human mind picks up on anthropomorphism even in such bizarre.
Can you imagine standing in downtown New York and this thing goes off over your head? Destruction on a level that would be incomprehensible. And Ivy Mike would have EASILY taken out all 5 New York Burroughs i read in a book.. Castle Bravo was 5 MT more.. Some scary ass shit this.
I am going to upload a video just like this pretty soon it will be the exact same thing only instead, it will be in full 1080p HD @~24 Frames Per Second. and it will be slightly longer, and it will be a video response so be sure to click on it okay?

....I have a feeling this was just the biggest US nuclear device to be TESTED, I would bet money that with all of the data collected from these tests that the US build a more powerful weapon.....but hasn't detonated it.

@Fourteen88SoCal not if your 5 miles or more from the fireball, You get burnt alive by the light, slowly taking your skin off before the blast wave hits. Then you got blown away 100ft if your outside.. If you survived the burns and the blast your all ready dead from the gamma ray burst and fallout later on.
MrBasslineraver69 4 months ago
@Fourteen88SoCal: No. American policy people in the AEC and the military apparently never could make a case for a weapon this big. It simply was not needed. It was a propaganda weapon; once used, it was dead.

We would have shit the bed if we were nearby. Heck, people did shit the bed when this went off. A few guys on the Estes later said, "We thought the fireball was going to engulf us". Some said that they got 10 REMs off of the fallout.

@paintballgundown8 actually no , the sun has solar flare with also go through nuclear fusion, which is far more powerful than nuclear weapons, the earth is so tiny compared to the whole universe, the explosion will be almost nothing compared to god can pausiblly do, dont make god jokes there aint funny.

something like this might save our butts if an asteroid is getting too close to our orbit for comfort
and no, i don't mean blow it up wholesale, i mean detonate it off to the side, causing the surface of the asteroid facing it to vaporize and offgas, pushing the asteroid in the opposite direction.
that's the case in which something like 100 megatons would be useful, or possibly even 1000 (the upper limit is still unknown) by adding more hydrogen stages off the primary fission stage.

the miscalculation happened because lithium 7 looses a proton and becomes lithium 6 the fuel needed for the reaction . the bomb had a ratio of 30% lithium 6 and 70% lithium 7

GregoryBBG 8 months ago
@GregoryBBG : Reason why the Us never tried to out due this one, was that anything more than 15 MT is unconventional. It's overkill beyond overkill, and the radiation afterwards is a HUGE problem. That's the same reason why Russia cut the Tsar Bomba's payload in half to 50 MT, instead or the original 100.
