A 3D project I made in school. For the record: This is not designed to be instructional. This is all made up because I needed something easy to model for a final project that I had 3 days to do. There was no reasearch involved. I know NOTHING about nuclear physics. Stop sending me angry comments and messages.

  • wow

    if you made that bomb animation yourself u deserve a medal

    its so much better than that other crap

    they try to make it cool but they go to far and put too much of "what they THINK" it looks like

    out of shape and stuff

    this simple little animation shown here

    is all u need to get a cool special effect

  • well then if its wrong, dont put it on youtube...

see all

  • @Caligirlvanessa I have to ask who taught you physics because all that info is wrong.

  • That could not be more wrong

  • You have had a good try here and the graphics are good but factually wrong, I wish I could make animation like that. You have the physics totally wrong. Take it off you tube or put a notice on to say it’s wrong, someone may refer to it for their home work.

  • A very good graphical description of the uranium atom and the process of nuclear fission.

  • @ASKaPHYSICIST No, it is not "essentially correct". Not even close. It shows deuterons leaving uranium nuclei, when in fact they emit no deuterons. And then the narration talks about gamma rays, which do NOT cause fission: it is (mostly thermal) neutrons that cause fission.

  • As others have alrdy commented, the physics is simply wrong, both in the animation and the narration. So wrong, it is an 'epic' fail.

  • @nlydeen Wrong. Uranium is an alpha emitter. But by spontaneous fission, it also emits neutrons and gamma rays. It is the neutrons that cause a chain-reaction of fission releasing energy for either a reactor or a bomb. And the neutron initiator is NOT necessary for the reaction. Just helpful in some bomb designs.

  • Where is the polonium-beryllium neutron initiator in this reaction? There are no neutrons to start the reaction in the first place. Uranium radiates gamma rays, among other things, but not neutrons.

  • @vmelkon Almost everything here is incorrect. I agree, thumbs down.
