Ya dude no offense this video can use a better narration. Your mumbling and tone of uncertainty makes it hard to focus and believe on what you're saying. I actually just got it by reading top comment by "someoninlv" it's logically straight forward.
(ps. some animations or movement would make it a better video. a still-image is really ironic for a video medium.
Why would someone put a thumbs down on this video? Nukes rock!!! It's so bitchin! Conventional bombs are so basic, compared to nukes. Nukes involve understanding of atoms, which make up everything in the universe. A pinhead is made up of a billion billion atoms. A car is made of more atoms. When you are dealing with unstable atoms, radioactive ones, then you are dealing with heat and light in the form of alpha rays, beta rays, and gamma rays. It's so tasty learning about nukes!
I am totally facinated by all things nuclear. It's really sobering that a core of uranium-235, the size of a baseball, could vaporize a city. Einstein was pretty savvy when thinking of such a theory, and watching Oppenheimer actually put it to the test in the New Mexico desert 56 years ago. I wish i grew up in the 50's, to watch them explode here in Nevada. I'd hate to be downwind to the radiation, but it would still be cool to see! Great video, man!
Skinny boy; uranium bullet in shape of plug is fired down a barrel at 3,000 ft/s at a uranium sphere weighing about 2 KG. critical mass is reached and the bomb explodes.
Fatman; explosives are packed around a uranium sphere and are each detonated simultaneously within millionths of a second. The shockwaves cause the uranium to reach critical mass and the bomb explodes

This is what a nuclear plant does, except that they cool it down really quickly. They have to cool it down at the exact picosecond (1/10th of a second, because it reacts so fast)
A picosecond is actually a trillionth of a second. This is not typical eighth grade science in most schools. Regardless, the fundamental differences between the fission processes in an atomic bomb and a nuclear fission energy plant is the input uranium fuel rods used. The isotope of uranium used in an atomic bomb is about 90% Uranium-235, or "weapons grade, enriched" uranium. The uranium-238 isotope that is more cost efficient and plentiful is the dominant fuel in reactors.
@TheSpaceNews Well, I know that your not supposed to believe everything on wikipedia, but it said a picosecond. I think the plants in japan are melting down because the pumps are not working, and it might be cooling it down to a 1.5 picosecond, which is not quick enough
No harm there, dude. Honestly, it's great to see that you're actually interested in what's going on in the world. More of what the problem at the Fukushima reactor is/was that they could not cool it by normal means as the cooling systems at first did not function due to a lack of power. They pumped corrosive seawater to cool the reactors down instead.
The simplest explaination as to how a basic nuclear weapon works...
A Uranium bullet is fired down a barrel into a Uranium target, they then start a nuclear chain reaction ripping solid matter appart, createing a massive release in energy...
@skooterkid11 i just saw your videos. you are a hypocritical idoit! your voice is actually higher pitch than his. stop fucking around and get off of youtube
@skooterkid11 you think you're fucking tough for swearing over the internet? in real life youre a basement dweller on your computer eating doritos. and learn how to spell faguette
it is not 1 atom, its a chain reaction of trillions that all occur within a fraction of a second. Basically all you need is a free neutron, and highly compressed uranium 235 so that when a nuetron collides into a Uranium nucleus, the nucleus splits into two, releasing energy AND multiple neutrons. Then those neutrons go and hit more nucleus so on and so forth. So 1 turns into 2 or 3, 3 turns into 9 etc.The combined energy from so many reactions is why its so devestating
A simpler explanation is: an atomic bomb is an atomic reaction in which U235 hit by neutrons breaks down to lighter elements the total weight of which is 3 lighter than U235. the 3 converts to energy in accordance with E=mc2 (E=energy in joules ..M=mass in Kg..C= speed of light in m/s "300,000,000")
A typical US bomb (50kg of 80-90% U235) will produce 0.90(50/235)X3X9X10^16 joules....about 5.13X10^16 (5 times 10 to the power 16) ( 50 trillion million joules) That if 100% of the U235 converted
i already knew most of this i was trying to get a better explanation why are people looking for explanations of nukes from a 10 yearold and you only said alot of energy radioactivity heat and light did you forget about the electrons because thats what causes the electro magnetic pulse or emp and it makes all electronics stop
here let me explain it even better,thing of the earth and a meteorite hit each other but meteor at the speed of light youll get a hell of alot of energy now how does it work is because it becomes unstable,and also it works because of a brilliant scientist call albert einstein who said everything is made up of energy and all matter is made of energy and energy made of matter and vise versa
The issues is not that you have read this of a website, text book, or where ever you found the explanation. My issues is that your explanation is the worse i have heard to date. Are you in 7th grade ? or you most have the metal capacity of a 9 year old girl ?

This is a completely confused description of fission. So "bombard[ing]" one "unstable element" with another "quite heavy and slow [sic]" element will break "the atom" apart. Is it being proposed that a neutron is "quite heavy and slow" "element"? No mention is made of chain reaction, of critical mass, of fissionability/fissileness. This is a mess. Delete it. Start over.
u skipped the part where a uranium bullet is shot into another uranium bullet, and then the atoms decay, all tht energy is contained in a small amount of space, then boom
First, only a small number of isotopes are "fissile"*. Roughly the same amount are considered "breedable"*, and a slightly larger number are considered "fissionable"*.
You bombard a nucleus with neutrons to instigate fission - as is clearly shown in your graphic.
* Fissile: can fission from its own neutron flux
Fissionable: can fission if bombarded with neutrons
Breedable: can become fissile as a result of neutron absorption
As an update to your graphic, the largest portion of released energy (about 95%) is actually represented in the kinetic energy of the fission fragments and prompt neutrons; the released gamma radiation from fission represents only 5% of the energy output.
This ends up being only about 8 MeV / 234 amu, or about 3 GJ/g (which, compared to the 82 GJ/g from molecular kinetics - that is, heat - is tiny).
@downtownbosscat how can you have 27 thumbs up, and the guy above giving a scientific explaination have 30? some people i guess will laugh at a fart, no wonder the world is in trouble
@modchips4u Hey man, I have no idea at all. I almost don't even remember ever commenting. And youtube doesn't alert me that people thumb up stuff so who knows.
precisly A uranium bullet is actually fired into the and hits electrons compressed in the hydrogen starting uncontrolled fision after a while to much enery packed behind the casing and boom huge power released and it creates a vaccum
How does an atom bomb work? quite simple really, see, first you proceed to eat as many hot and spicy beans as possible, then, having given sufficient time for the "release" to build, you then proceed to open legs and then BOOM!, much mayhem and carnage can ensue from this, as well as sickness and hazardous conditions for all involved.
Thank you for your reply. You know, I saw a old documentary (1950's propaganda-style complete with background music) about the atom bomb. The narrator's voice told us that "a weight that's less than a dime of Plutonium is all that's needed to set off a reaction". This atom bomb was placed underneath a vessel designated as LSD-60 and destroyed at the Bikini Atoll (Pacific Proving Grounds). I ask questions and wondered if something so small can vaporize a warship? Thanks for your answer.
you have to understand the power of nuclear fusion, it is what pretty much "runs" every star in the universe. all you need to create an explosion is one atom, however small or large it may be i dont know. When you add more to the equation the explosion gets larger and larger. With all of the nuclear warheads we have on earth, we could split the world into pieces at its faultlines.
I hate to break it to you, but this is radioactive decay indeed, but .. well you got the main point. It's uranium 235 decay, then forming a Kr and Ba element. You lacked to mention how the bomb works though, but you got the chain reaction to a good stand-point. im going with 4 stars.
thats what its all about is the chain reaction! i tottally agree!.. if you think on how an atom works , our bodys are made of them!,. thats why abombs dont just destruct with massive force but also decay in the form of radiation!..
Yes, Yes, Yes. Well yes radioactive decay does in fact happen at the end of a nuclear bomb, but the destructive forces of the bomb are much greater than the decay. I am highly sure that most of the fuel is lost during the explosion, leaving less radioactive elements to sit around and decay.
The are given off naturally by the decaying nuclear material. In an atomic bomb, a large enough amount of material that is unstable enough is formed into a near perfect sphere. This sphere is surrounded with an array of near perfectly shaped high explosives. When simultaneously detonated, the high explosives compress the radioactive material into a smaller sphere so it reaches a critical density. At this density the nutron density causes spontaneous chain reaction (boom).
theres a holding tank of an unstable element, the unstable element sheds neutrons much like a cat sheds hair (thru radioactive decay). theres a second holding tank of uranium. the tanks combine when the bomb is detonated and the neutrons gain a lot of kinetic energy, when it collides with all the uranium...
0:37 "if you take that element and bombard it with an other element"1st mistake...you want to bombard thar U235 atom with a nutron and not another element..."that is quite heavy and slow"2nd mistake...a nutron isn't heavy, being equal to one proton mass, nor is it slow in the case of an atomic bomb where nutrons released have a grate amount of kinetic energy.
basically we split an atom, an atom is not supposed to be split, imagine cutting an object in half, and you keep cutting it until it gets down unto a single atom, now when that is split the atom releases ridiculous amounts of energy. does that help some?

How does an atom bomb work? quite simple really, see, first you proceed to eat as many hot and spicy beans as possible, then, having given sufficient time for the "release" to build, you then proceed to open legs and then BOOM!, much mayhem and carnage can ensue from this, as well as sickness and hazardous conditions for all involved.

this is nuclear fission, not radioactive decay
ricky0604fh 2 years ago
Is it true that less than a weight of an American silver dime of Plutonium is needed to produce fission?
Nguli34689 2 years ago
yeah
ricky0604fh 2 years ago
Thank you for your reply. You know, I saw a old documentary (1950's propaganda-style complete with background music) about the atom bomb. The narrator's voice told us that "a weight that's less than a dime of Plutonium is all that's needed to set off a reaction". This atom bomb was placed underneath a vessel designated as LSD-60 and destroyed at the Bikini Atoll (Pacific Proving Grounds). I ask questions and wondered if something so small can vaporize a warship? Thanks for your answer.
Nguli34689 2 years ago
you have to understand the power of nuclear fusion, it is what pretty much "runs" every star in the universe. all you need to create an explosion is one atom, however small or large it may be i dont know. When you add more to the equation the explosion gets larger and larger. With all of the nuclear warheads we have on earth, we could split the world into pieces at its faultlines.
ricky0604fh 2 years ago
I hate to break it to you, but this is radioactive decay indeed, but .. well you got the main point. It's uranium 235 decay, then forming a Kr and Ba element. You lacked to mention how the bomb works though, but you got the chain reaction to a good stand-point. im going with 4 stars.
ethanswish123 2 years ago
thats what its all about is the chain reaction! i tottally agree!.. if you think on how an atom works , our bodys are made of them!,. thats why abombs dont just destruct with massive force but also decay in the form of radiation!..
spitNgunz 2 years ago
Yes, Yes, Yes. Well yes radioactive decay does in fact happen at the end of a nuclear bomb, but the destructive forces of the bomb are much greater than the decay. I am highly sure that most of the fuel is lost during the explosion, leaving less radioactive elements to sit around and decay.

But how does the nuetron get to the uranium? And how does it get all that energy? Or where does the energy come from?
derkakid1 2 years ago
The are given off naturally by the decaying nuclear material. In an atomic bomb, a large enough amount of material that is unstable enough is formed into a near perfect sphere. This sphere is surrounded with an array of near perfectly shaped high explosives. When simultaneously detonated, the high explosives compress the radioactive material into a smaller sphere so it reaches a critical density. At this density the nutron density causes spontaneous chain reaction (boom).

how can you shoot off a neutron? its not like its a bullet you put into a pistol and then shoot...........
Berialavrenti 2 years ago
theres a holding tank of an unstable element, the unstable element sheds neutrons much like a cat sheds hair (thru radioactive decay). theres a second holding tank of uranium. the tanks combine when the bomb is detonated and the neutrons gain a lot of kinetic energy, when it collides with all the uranium...
boom

0:37 "if you take that element and bombard it with an other element"1st mistake...you want to bombard thar U235 atom with a nutron and not another element..."that is quite heavy and slow"2nd mistake...a nutron isn't heavy, being equal to one proton mass, nor is it slow in the case of an atomic bomb where nutrons released have a grate amount of kinetic energy.

basically we split an atom, an atom is not supposed to be split, imagine cutting an object in half, and you keep cutting it until it gets down unto a single atom, now when that is split the atom releases ridiculous amounts of energy. does that help some?
