Hydrogen Bomb vs. Atomic Bomb: What’s The Difference? 

Guys the Tsar bomba's explosion was so big the Russians thought it was too big. That is when you know you don't need to go farther

3:05 you may be wondering how North Korea managed to make these bombs? They learnt it on squarespace

What a coincidence, north Korea also ranks in my top 2 Koreas.

I love how his shirt says "Don't panic" while talking of something that scares most of humanity.

I guess your graphic T-shirt was carefully chosen to reassure us that North Korea doesn't have any H-bomb?

I don't mind ads And I don't mind buffering But when ads buffer I want to break my screen

I wonder if the scientists involved feel genuinely proud of their achievements. To quote Ian Malcolm, “they were so concerned about whether they could, they didn’t stop to think that they should”.

The Tsar bomb was almost as powerful as the magnifying power of this guys' pair of glasses.

so we got the A bomb and H bomb now it's time to drop the F bomb

I do not know what weapons ww3 will be fought with but ww4 will be fought with sticks and stones. Einstein

A simple, clear and easy to follow explanation. I've been curious about this subject for a long time; thanks!

When I think of a hydrogen bombs, I always picture a giant explosion of liquid hydrogen and water... Not a flaming death of terror

Nuclear bomb - Large explosion Hydrogen bomb - YOU ARE FUCKED

"just how dead do you need to make something?" I agree.

well they got one now

Spoiler alert: They set off a h-bomb today

What about the f bomb?

Julian is probably one of my favorite hosts, he's the bomb.

Thanks Julian for the video and making it clear. Look forward to more from you.

Tsar bomba was only 2 stages it was halved by wrapping the Teller Ulam device in a lead tamper instead of a U235 tamper wand allegedly made it the cleanest thermonuclear test ever

Who wants to play a game, global thermonuclear war?

"In my top two Koreas" No. THERE IS ONLY ONE TRUE KOREA. RELEASE THE DOGS.

Nukes have brought peace... ...indirectly

Anybody has an idea of what happens to radiation after months or years? I wonder, does it spread around for miles with the wind in time? O does it stays kinda in the same area? I need to know

It's simple, an Atomic bomb is a fission device, meaning that it gets all of its energy from the splitting of heavy atoms. A Hydrogen bomb is a fission/fusion device. This means that to start the reaction, an atomic bomb is used as the trigger. The heat and X-ray blast then causes the secondary fuel ( Usually a form of lithium) to fuse. Thus the Hydrogen bomb gets it's energy from fusion which is as the name says, atoms fuse together to create a new element releasing tremendous energy in the process.

this is shaggy from scooby doo in an alternate universe when he never knew the weed.

This is probably the best host on the channel he blows my mind everyday!

Actually, the AN602 was originally designed for three, but in the end only used two stages. If they had used all three the detonation would have been equivalent to approximately 100 MT instead of "just" 57.

if n korea just shot 1 missle, south korea and usa and other nato counties whould flat it. unless china gets involved. than things get complicated

A step by step guide to make a Thermo Nuclear Bomba.. Can you make a video on that ?

Best explanation ever: (2:13) "....a turducken of Armageddon."

Atomic Bomb -> Traditionally Fission Reaction. Hydrogen Bomb ->Fusion Reactions

Humans with nuclear technology is like a toddler with the keys to a truck.

I really do wish China could keep proper control of their pet north korea.

I have a question, boosted fission + thermonuclear hydrogen bombs work quite differently, but yet is it truely possible to compress hydrogen isotopes or at least create them inside the core with lithium deutride to create an explosive fusion detonation? If so, how small do the isotopes have to be compressed? Im guessing immensly, so immense that you would need a fission reaction to compress it, just how explosives pressurise plutonium like in the pumpkin design bombs such as the "Fat Man"

Good informative video. the Tsar was reduced because they calculated the delivery plane could not get clear of the blast, thus missiles became the only viable option for delivery and the Russians had less than a great records with their larger rockets. I think Russia, America, and China should form an alliance...

the host reminded me of sid from iceage

The H-bomb you are referring to is a Teller Ulum design. This is the most powerful version of the H-bomb that has been tested, and is the only version of the H-bomb that derives a significant portion of its power from fusion (i.e. usually the majority). The one thing you got wrong is that generally, lithium-6 is used instead of tritium because it is more accessible and provides a higher density (lithium deuteride is a chemical compound and lithium-6 will fission and produce two tritium nuclei when bombarded by neutrons). There is another "fusion" device, or "H-bomb" that is a more likely culprit for the recent test. It consists of some small amount of hydrogen or deuterium in the core of a conventional fission device. A small amount of the already tiny amount of fusible material actually undergoes fusion, so it does not produce much additional explosive yield. However, it does produce a massive number of additional neutrons, which increase the efficiency of the fission reaction by several factors (a pure fission bomb has an efficiency in the neighborhood of 20%. That is, the bomb reaches a subcritical density when 20% of the nuclear fuel is consumed). Because this type of weapon is orders of magnitude simpler to produce, and because we did not see a likely yield of 100+ kilotons, it is likely that this is what they tested. Google: Boosted Fission Device.

I was going to panic, but then I read your t-shirt.

Great explanation! Thank you for that!

I want to switch my major to nuclear bomb science now

North Korea is just posturing. To get an idea of just how bad of condition their country is in, take a look at satellite photographs taken at night, very little light showing, whilst South Korea is lit like a Christmas tree.

2023 Oppenheimer

Did anyone look up this video after watching the Oppenheimer movie

Which countries have H-Bombs? Can you make a video about it?

because of those glasses his eyes are bigger than my future

Thank you for this explanation, I still don't understand but I still appreciate it.

The worst thing is when the ad plays and you are forced to watch it but the video buffers right after and you feel like you been mugged off

In my youth there was a saying--"One nuclear bomb can ruin your whole day"--so yes, North Korea's unstable leader and authoritarian police state possessing nuclear weapons is a major concern. I don't like the idea of ANY of us having them--but growing up during the cold war left a bit of skepticism in my mind.

North Korea. Why do they need to brag

I'm a bit late to the party, but.. This is mostly pretty accurate, though the secondary frequently also contains a fission 'spark plug' in the center that kick-starts fusion, and the fuel in more modern thermonuclear bombs tends to be deuterium and lithium since lithium produces tritium in-situ and doesn't require a lot of expensive tritium to be manufactured before-hand. Also the tamper tends to be not-very-enriched Uranium, mostly 238. The reason a bunch of extra stages aren't used is because the primary purpose of fusion is to make lots of extra neutrons to make the fission reactions burn more nuclear fuel which means you need less material and can actually make more, smaller, cheaper bombs for the same amount of fissile material. Since it's better strategically to have more smaller bombs you'll almost never find huge bombs intended for deployment. Also you're correct that the Tsar Bomba was a 3-stage device, but they disabled the 3rd stage (which would've taken it to 100 megatons or more) because the scientists were worried it could be way too powerful. Source: I read a lot about nuclear bombs.

This is the bad Korea right

Wanna see the difference? Play Civilization 6, you'll see...

Most of our bombs used both uranium and a plutonium capsule. The bombs were essentially harmless untill the plutonium capsule was inserted into the end of the bomb.

Well done: educational and entertaining.

The good thing about a hydrogen bomb is that the fusion reaction doesn't create radiation. Although it does wield more destruction

I'm so happy that I discovered this channel! This guy is awesome!

Fantastic explanation, thank you.

Thank you and your wonky eye for this very useful info.

umm note7 ...I'll just put that out there

Have you all heard about the glory of Atom? He has great plans for us all. Praise Atom.

Thanks for clarifying. Did not know difference

At what yield (-also know as size of the warhead in either kilotons or megatons) does a atomic bomb became a H-bomb?

Cant wait till this comes out in English

If I fart in the woods and my Nose is stuffed up... does it really STINK? ....

Good video bro 👍🏻

There's no loss of mas in fission contrary to popular belief. The energy comes from the loss of the binding energy used to keep the nucleus together.

I am far more concerned about the US Government than the North Koreans. Lol

THIS GUY LOOKS LIKE FUCKING YODA

Love the guy's shirt. I started to worry for a second and happened to see it and thought "okay, thanks guy."

"dont panic" we will die anyways so :D

now the youtube viewers know how to make a nuclear bomb, thanks dnews!

the t-shirt says it all..

The shirt 'Don't panic' 😂😂

never knew that Ed Sheeran made science videos

A-bomb: Small and classic, but deadly. F-Bomb: A bomb that triggers like no other. H-Bomb: Big and will annihilate everything around. Z-Bomb: The worst kind of bomb there is. Will destroy entire earth.

They probably got the instructions on how to make the bomb, just by watching this vid lmao

I like how he's talking this topic but his shirt says"Don't Panic" lol

Welp. They did it today...

"Don't panic" Brilliant

Im scared for what people will use these weapons D:

This is a great video, congratulations

I dig your shirt. "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." ???

"the tsar bomba was the largest ever made, i will let you guess he country" MERICA!! waht? no? oke....

Bark > Bite

very well explained.

I don't remember exactly. I think tsar bomba was around 5 megaton. first it was actually made to be 10 megaton. but they realized it would be too big. hence the half size drop. still biggest in history.

F bombs are easier to learn........

the shirt fits the topic...

pls, make little more long videos!

he is the best host ever!!!! I hope he has his own show/channel

I've never seen so many puffed up misconceptions in one place in my life. Everyone thinks because they play Fallout they know nukes. rachard McIntyre: You don't get good ideas about nukes from nuke movies. That's like the people who watch Fat Man and Little Boy judging Oppenheimer by the charcater playing him - they do that in the video that shows 2 minutes of the movie. A nuclear weapon is one that makes use of nuclear processes. So far as we know now, those are decay, fission, and fusion. An atomic bomb is a misnomer; all bombs (even conventional) are atomic. It used to be attached only to fission weapons. Hydrogen weapons are ones that use hydrogen (and its brothers deuterium and tritium) to fuse for blast effect. Today's weapons are hybrids: they use fission to build temperature and pressure and EM "light" pressure, they inject tritium into it to boost the numbers of neutrons, they use that to start fusion reactions in lithium deuteride, mainly to create scads of neutrons, they use a fission sparkplug and the a depleted uranium tamper to do the heavy lifting and create the fallout. The thermonuke is a fusion nuke so named because the neutrons that come out have a "thermal" energy spectrum. That makes them most effective fissioning U-235 and plutonium. Higher energy neutrons are required to fission U-238. The hydrogen is not simply "layered on" a fission weapon. The Soviets tried that, and while it did create a big bang, it wasn't in a class with the US thermonukes, and they had to search farther. The secret was the "Teller-Ulam" design, invented separately by the US, the USSR and the Brits. God only knows where the French and Chinese got the word.

H bomb = hentai bomb => converts everyone to the hentai mindset :))

"North Korea have made a thermo nuclear bomb" T-shirt says "don't panic"

Question, is it the Single Atom itself gets split, or the Atoms gets split from each other ?

too much math that i gave up and left

He is talking about bomb when his shirt says "Don't worry"

Dude that guy cannot see for shit... with that zoom he has on his glasses he can probably see into the other dimension 😂😂

I learnt heaps thank you

"Turducken of armageddon" That's a term I didn't think I'd hear when I woke up this morning.... :-)
