  • @muaaz2011 your a dumbass

  • I can understanding the explanation just by seeing the picture.

    Nice Picture

  • uranium 238 works better because its more unstable.

  • I think this explanation was simple and informative as the label clearly states. Some people are just mean....if the maker is a kid, why bash him for his educational endeavors?? If you don't like the vid, just watch another! Grow up, people.

  • meh, my bomb is better.

  • animation is better than a picture ...KID!!!

  • I love how there are so many videos on this but NONE of them tell you how its done. Its not very complex to understand or explane so at lest google this so it would seem you know what your talking about

  • who the hell he is ? he is kid dude XD

  • Sounds like the knocked up girl in that movie Juno -_-

  • CAN NOT STAND VOICE BYE

  • wow, how do you get this eleement partical? and how do you launch it at the other , i keep missing its to unstable :/

  • so the heat is the huge energy??

    ...predictable...

  • GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY JK THX NO I BLOW UP KFC

  • This kid clearly plays CoD

  • 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.

  • anal

  • Dude you awesomely suck big time dick.

  • I feel like i am a nerd... O.O

  • 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!

  • @purseonal2010 alpha and beta are not rays. they are particles.

  • 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!

  • Dude, that really blows. Literally.

  • 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

  • Don't three neutrons come off instead of two?

  • LOL terrorist I am just curious about how people got sick from atom bomb sickness :)

  • @pyrot3chs

    You're going places kid. I chose to take chem, physics, and others in high school, but it wasn't until college that I began to really appreciate science.

    It solves problems, and more importantly makes piles of ca$h for the CEOs, engineers, technicians, and shareholders of a company that actually produces stuff.

    I roll with laughter at the kids who choose to major in Sociology or Psychology because they will graduate $200,000 in debt with a useless degree.

    SCIENCE is where it's at.

  • @huhabah i learned this in grade 8 dude

    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)

    All grade 8 science

  • @Galodude

    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

  • @Galodude

    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.

  • She sounds like Juno lol

  • Thank's how I can make my own nuclear bomb.

  • @TechnoManiac2 get uranium-235 into critical mass.

  • @beepu2 I don't know what will happen, but I will try it. HAHAHAHAHA

  • gtfo youtube and teach a college, srsly you can do better.

  • 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...

  • finaly i find a reall nuke thing it always gos to mw2 its sooo stupid lol

  • poop

  • Jimmy Neutron!!!

  • if u want 2 nuke ur enemies just get chuck norris 2 fart in their territrory

  • calm down

  • lmao you know everyone who watched this has been listed for potential terrorist right?

  • willys

  • can't I just pick off a neutron from an atom with my super tiny tweezers and throw that neutron at a uranium 235. Boom, instant explosion.

  • @Dinoafhdd1 U jelly Manhattan project?

  • @McWinnigan lmfao!

  • yeah you realy don't know what you're talking about do you :)

  • You seem Hella Smart, may i ask how and atom produces So much Energy, I always wanted to know. Please And thank you

  • A completely boring and uninformative waste of two minutes of your life.

  • kewl, time to go build a nuke.

  • Very good explanation.

    I like.

  • Are you a girl or a young boy?

  • video very boring

  • I am not trying to be i am serious not joking. is this a guy of a girl again i am just being honest and serious

  • @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

  • @BowlingFreak218 my voice is deeper now u muther fucker i swear to god that wasnt a joke i was serious sorry for fucking asking u faget

  • @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

  • @BowlingFreak218 actually i have straight A's right now you FAGUETTE

  • @skooterkid11 wow what an accomplishment! who doesnt? its not that hard

  • @skooterkid11 yep and why does every1 have to use a high pitched voice as an insult i mean really?

  • @BowlingFreak218

    Doritoes are nice!

    Especially when you add cheese and the Salsa then microwave it.

    :D

  • nice! i can't believe just a small atom from anything once split or also known as 'divided into half(I think) will release so much POWER!

  • @chesterngiamzhenghao

    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

  • weird voice lol

  • how much heat and energy would JUST 1 lone atom release if it where to be split?

  • Hiroshima: Dropping the Bomb on Youtube and go to 3:15.

  • @gunmetal10 dude i just saw u say that on anohter video! lol spread the word i guess

  • @RyanW94 oh hell yea lol

  • Comment removed

  • 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

  • @someoneinlv but M= mass should be ^M= change in mass right? since your colliding 2 masses together

  • @someoneinlv i learned that in kindergarten

  • @someoneinlv just saying

  • @someoneinlv wtf?!

  • @someoneinlv we've been studying nuclear fission/fusion in chem and seriously man, u helpd me more than my teacher from what youve said lol

  • @someoneinlv what?

  • @someoneinlv in other words....it´s dangerous.

  • Sounds like the kid is eating a Wopper and trying to explain the process.. Ha ha he he ho ho

  • dumb shit

  • i stopped the video and thumbed it down as soon as i realized it was a kid talking

  • That answered all my questions...Jeez.

  • A kid explaining about nuclear mechanics, with an annotation about "achievment tutorials for halo 3"...

    He can't even spell "achievement" in the annotation, and he's explaining about nuclear mechanics...

    Hey kid, how about you finish school first, ok?

  • @ZombeTheImmortal i bet that he is smarter than you are ZOMBETHELMMORTAL ffs noob nice name.

  • @iiiml0sto1 I bet he's not...

  • 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

  • Well thats kinda right, I guess.

  • you make me feel stupid

  • 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

  • is it the same as nuke?

  • @chesterngiamzhenghao I thought there would be a comment like that lol!! A nuke is a Atomic bomb.

  • Whoever doesn't understand how radioactive decay works fails at life.

  • good job .. but you made it boring ..

  • this is a chick whoes prob around 20 but with a high voice u cant notice it that much but if u try and hear u do

  • 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 ?

  • The issues is not that you sound you read it of website, text, or where ever you got the explanation from. My issues is that your explanation is the worse i have heard to date. Are you in 7th grade ? or you just have the metal capacity of a 9 year old boy ?

  • dude, how old are you?

  • It's probably just me but i can't watch or hear any vids with 12 year olds explaining stuff just can't; maybe explains why I hate just bieber also..

  • NICE! XD

  • Bombard it with neutrons... not another element...

  • 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.

  • Comment removed

  • how does the large hadron collider work?

  • comment, rate, and subscribe? about what retard?

  • are you 7 years old motherFUCKER?

  • @sweatynawts

    yo if he's 7 years old, y would u swear at him, fukin dumb ass mother fuking son of a bitch...LMAO...

  • thanks for showing me how it works, justin bieber :]

  • how old are u?u sound like a 14 yr old boy,if u ARE,then ur really smart...0.0

  • shut up you little snot nosed brat

  • kid u are a fag !

  • 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

  • @0:49

    No.

    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

  • @Fordi

    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).

  • dude its Q3eY=Ct159(13/3e)+e35

  • Great info

  • Y=mc+b

  • M=mc2. That easy!

  • A nuclear bomb works when you cough, fart, sneeze, throw up, pee, and poop all at the same time. Your body explodes

  • @downtownbosscat i once sneezed so hard that i farted pooped and pissed in ma pants, after that i was really sick and throwed up

  • @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.

  • dude cool video and all but kinda blows knowing you have some fucked up 42year old dude that thinks ur voice is hot

  • alright database from the simpsons

  • how old are you? this is amazing.

  • you sound hot

  • Interesting

  • i refuse to listen to a little girl!

  • you sound like the stuttering kid from the movie it

  • This isn't a class presention nerd, this is youtube, you getta use more then one pic to get your point across kid.

  • You sound exactly like haley williams from paramore :)

  • rofl. is that a boy? no way. i was like 'whos the chick?'...

  • so H + Ur= big boom right?

  • 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

  • colide two things = WTF BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOM

  • 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.

  • AHAHAHAH!! DUde, you're awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @CrypticArtix LOL

  • @CrypticArtix *use in a well ventilated area

  • obviously this is a little boy, you guys need to play more cod mod 2

  • I don't know, but she sounds hot

  • @Xxd3cayxX uhh... ur gay cuz thats a boy...

  • @heli121212 actualy boys do sound like girls when they are young.

  • hahaha she?? XD

  • @Xxd3cayxX might also look hot since wont have a beared. this proves that boys are attracted to boys naturaly.

  • is this is a chick or a little boy? Im really confused

  • how did you know?????????

  • did you call a nuclear reactor a radioactive generator?

  • this is classified information.

    remove from youtube

  • @MS57KB This is taught in every chemistry class around the world. Hardly classified information

  • it's called sarcasm, you unperceptive idiot

  • @LiberateEireIRA it's called being sincere, you uneducated cretin

  • yah and thats why they teach it in school.

  • this is nuclear fission, not radioactive decay

  • Is it true that less than a weight of an American silver dime of Plutonium is needed to produce fission?

  • yeah

  • 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.

  • his only a kid...hehehehehehe... and he can't explain well in terms of atomic particles. he only explains more in birds eye view.

  • But how does the nuetron get to the uranium? And how does it get all that energy? Or where does the energy come from?

  • 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...........

  • 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

  • haha

  • you cheap jew son of a bitch!

    why are you laughing?

    one of these days i am going to get you!

  • dude i didn't mention laughing at all

    i simply provided an review upon his explanation

    and you are a creepy son of a bitch

  • you bloody bastard!

  • very boring

  • 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.

  • i'm 12 and i didnt understand anything i'm gonna go ask my sister

  • 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?
