Nuclear Fission Animated

[airemillion90]

this is far more boring than I imagined.

[mythicAZN]

@airemillion90 Look on the bright side your 1 step closer to building your nuclear bomb :D

[airemillion90]

@mythicAZN  lol that's funny.

[cmdivyashree]

WOW i understood it clearly now ..........

[tijanna666]

much more interesting way to resume knowledge 1h before test than by reading and repeating formulas. thanks for video!

[lilycleo2]

My Physics exam is tomorrow I really hope this helps :(

Fusion...

[SilverTissues]

Nuclear reactors DON'T use fussion, but fission. Fussion only happens in the sun, You fuse 2 elements to one, creating energy. Quick and simple tutorial/vid.

this is also the same process as with fertilisation of a human embryo (the nucleus) is the egg, which then begins to divide after being hit by a sperm (neutron). matter is fixed in a binary pattern throughout the universe. through a telescope sperm looks incredibly large, but to the naked eye is invisible. if you look at sperm in a microscope, it is very large. you are in effect - traveling in time.

[rightfredsdead]

and this is also how our universe was formed / forming.

In Sovier Russia, bombs throw you! =3

[WeatherMondacicci]

Wow this really explains the fission process simply. I love science and learning about stuff like this but I hate it when people get technical. I am a visual learner so I learn best from animations and vids like this. Too bad my math skills are at a fourth grade level otherwise I would love to work in a nuclear power plant as an operator or get into prion research. Though I am in college I am majoring in graphic design.

[ScorchinBeats]

Can somebody tell me how they get a neutron with no protons/electrons in the first place?

[hamchopps123]

THIS IS B S!

[KarbineKyle]

Nice Video! I love science! 5/5!

[neptunehorizon]

Very well put.....

[alexxerth]

nuclear reactors use fusion

[alexxerth]

This happenss consantly in stars but so far cant be done in a lab. They say in about 1 or 2 yrs it could be done and when it is done it will be used for new power sources and then we will enter a new renissance era like when the computer was invented or when the printing press was invented!

[Kash1337]

it's done in a movie i watched :) so it can be done :) you lie :)

[bottlezone]

I believe you are referring to fusion, not fission? Fission is how the atomic bomb and nuclear reactors work. It is fusion (the opposite of what is shown in this animation) that takes place in stars, and that scientists are currently working on generating more efficient power sources with.

[bacura101]

do you know what a nuclear bomb is buddy?

[HarryBuntson]

i finally understand now!

[metalsic666]

this helps a lot, but what happens on this video its supposed to happen even much much faster right?

[soylentgreenb]

"this helps a lot, but what happens on this video its supposed to happen even much much faster right?"

It's quite inaccurate actually. The U-235 nucleus absorbs a neutron and becomes U-236*(star notes that it is excited).

Think of it like flicking a water droplet. The excited U-236 nucleus is a rapidly spinning oblonge shape.

18% of the time U-236* will not undergo fission; it will emit a gamma ray and become U-236(ground state). The rest of the time the U-236* nucleus will split(unevenly).

[Gothivore]

Wow that is so much easier to understand than having someone tell me how it happens

[mcdope1010]

nice alough you could have animated the neutron as thermal and could have shown the radiation released but its still good and the website quite good n all

[russianky]

Nice video comrade.
