It wasn't a two stage weapon. Explosive lenses aren't portrayed accurately, and probably weren't used in the Tsar Bomba. The tamper and the shield are different structures. The secondary fusion fuel is not a tritide. No hard evidence of polystyrene ever being used as an interstage material. Fission chain reactions don't start because of heat. The secondary fission product atoms are not the same. The boost gas is injected prior to primary implosion. The interstage plasma pressure is only a few percent of the total pressure acting on the secondary. It's mostly due to ablation.

The Tsar Bomba was a three-stage hydrogen bomb with a Trutnev-Babaev second and third stage design. A three-stage hydrogen bomb uses a fission-type atomic bomb as the first stage to compress the thermonuclear second stage. The energy produced from this explosion is then directed to compress the much larger thermonuclear third stage. There is evidence that Tsar Bomba utilized several third stages.

This is NOT correct. Two NEW LIGHTER atoms, not two of the SAME atoms, are generated. For example, the fission of a U-235 atom results in a pair of lighter atoms (most likely Krypton and Barium)...not two U-235 atoms.

@kornfed81 Жыл бұрын

Just curious, if the fission wouldn't happen unless the explosive sphere compressed equally, wouldn't the second stage need the same thing around it?

@andrew34765 Жыл бұрын

You don't NEED to compress it equally, you just need to make sure it compresses sufficiently. Chemical explosives just don't work fast enough to compress as much as is needed if the detonation is uneven as material will "leak" out through the holes in the detonation sphere as if they were a gun barrel instead of continuing to compress. The pressure and heat from the fission are several orders of magnitude higher and can mostly bypass that problem. The force and pressure are applied faster than the material can be pushed out of the way, even when it has plenty of directions to go.

@andrew34765 11 ай бұрын

@@Quickcat21MK It's literally compression, nothing to do with the energy state of the matter. Density is what sets the reaction off. When the nuclei fission they generate a few neutrons that are capable of fissioning more nuclei. The material needs to be dense enough that the neutrons generated by one fission event generate more than one fission event elsewhere in the warhead before escaping to create the exponentially scaling chain reaction that makes the explosion. When you compress everything, the nuclei being closer together decreases the probability that a neutron will escape the core without hitting another fissile nucleus. From ~0.95 to a value greater than 1, starting the chain reaction.

@captaincat1743 9 ай бұрын

The plutonium sphere has to be compressed equally because a sphere will tend to pancake when it is asymmetrically squashed. The second stage is a fusion reaction in a product that does not have a critical mass like plutonium, therefore it is not squashed but instead bombarded by x rays which force the fusion fuel to become so dense it overcomes electrostatic repulsion and the atoms nuclei touch each other at high temperature and pressure causing fusion. It is an entirely different mechanism causing fission by lowering the critical mass, than that of causing fusion via high pressure and temperature.

@ihaveaboyfriendmeh1026 10 ай бұрын

One correction. The Plutonium spark plug doesn't start with the heat. It starts with the burst of neutrons from the primary stage. The first stage heat from the outside and the second stage from the Plutonium spark plug is what compresses the hydrogen/ lithium atoms to start the second stage fusion.

@Evan_Bell 10 ай бұрын

The shock from the thermal radiation acting on the secondary also compressed the sparkplug into supercriticallity.

@christopherleubner6633 5 ай бұрын

Yup the spark plug rod can be made of either HEU or Pu239. It is usually encased in thin beryllium at the center of the secondary subassembly. It works by the outer DU casing (called the pusher and tamper) fissioning from the fast neutrons from the primary. This energy compresses the LiD fusion mix to extreme temperatures as the Li in it soaks up neutrons forming tritium. Next, the neutrons make it to the beryllium cladding in the middie where the neutrons get amplified by the metal undergoing a fisioning process of its own. Each neutron becomes 2. This triggers the spark plug to promptly fission and this energy heats the DT soup to fusion temperatures. This reaction generates a lot more neutrons that cause the remains of the pusher, tamper, and even the bomb casing itself to fission.

Supposedly, the Tzar Bomba had 3 separate fusion chambers, one behind the other. This was meant to intensify the hydrogen fusion yield. It wss originally designed to be a 100 mt bomb, but the technichians wisely decided to use LEAD to contain the lithium deuteride of the third flask to limit the yield to only about 50 mt. This is the only reason that the TU-95 bomber crew were able to escape certain death by incineration.

Um, no. First, there's no lithium deuteride tritide, as there's no need for tritium if you have lithium, which happily fissions into tritium. Second, Tsar Bomba was a three stage weapon. It used a dual primary fission triggering detonation and given its size, likely a cryogenic tritium and deuterium gas secondary. The US didn't start using lithium deuteride until 1954 in testing, production always lagging behind. The finalmost stage was left out, as the final 100 megaton design was fission, triggered by the neutrons from the hydrogen fusion and being insanely dirty, was left off. Oh, a bit of trivia, Tsar Bomba was detonated a week before I was born.

The tertiary stage would have been a cylinder of DU filled with lithium deuteride and a rod of HEU or plutonium. This assembly is rougly the size of a 100 gallon propane tank in the middle of the device. Also the bombs casing was originally to be made of DU around the 6 primary subassemblies but they decided on lead to keep the device at 50kt and to keep the same throw weight. Had they went all in, the device would have made well over 120Mt, 50Mt from the primaries, 50Mt from the tertiary, and 20 to 30Mt from the casing.😮

There's a Russian KZfaq channel called Radiation Hazard that has a video about this bomb, but the supposed design of the bomb is different. The cyllindric design of the second stage is characteristic to American bombs, whereas Russians have always preferred spheres instead. The Tsar bomb might have had several such spheres as second stage.

The pit, or core of the bomb in an implosion style device is never going to be made of U235. To produce U235 is extremely labour intensive, and is only attempted by countries that do not have nuclear reactors that can produce plutonium. The USA's electrical power grid devoted 10% of it's annual output to refining the Uranium used for the Hiroshima bomb, which is an astronomical amount in my opinion. Also a uranium core has to be far larger than a plutonium core, and would have to undergo greater compression to trigger it into a supercritical state. I'm not even sure if it would be efficient enough to react sufficiently before the weapon blew itself apart. Uranium U235 bombs tend to be of the gun type such as Little Boy. There are so many more points I have to make but for brevity, Tsar Bomba was a multi-stage fission fusion fission fusion fission type weapon in all probability - 5 stages, using Plutonium core, Uranium tamper, Lithium Deuteride and Tritium, with a Polonium 210 and Beryllium neutron generator. It is quite remarkable that the USSR was able to fit this into a deliverable package. They were far ahead of the USA in that respect. The Castle Bravo bomb that the USA built could not be delivered and was built into a 5 storey building on an island - completely undeliverable.

“Because of its heavy weight, a parachute was attached” all objects fall at the same rate regardless of mass, you might wanna double check your basic physics.

Yeah, it had 3 stages. Idk how was the tertiary stage, but in the documentary or declassified video, in the interior had little "cells" that probably was the 3rd stage...

The animations of fission at 02:05 and 04:15 are incorrect. Fission is the splitting of a nucleus into several smaller nuclei, but your animation shows it splitting into 2 nuclei that are just as large as the original.

I really want to know what would happen if the bomb took 1 minute to detonate instead of 600 billionths of 1 second? If the heat that it produced (100 million degrees) lasted more than it did, would there be even more fire damage caused from the explosion? Because I can imagine if that heat and radiation was emitted for 1 whole minute it would have that much more time to fry everything that it did for about 59 more seconds than it did in less than 1 second. I hope someone can answer this for me!

I dont know about how it works with Nuclear devices, but I'm guessing that it will always be an instantaneous explosion lasting millionths of a second when the bomb is first detonated, but the actual fireball will last longer the bigger the yield is , because it causes a bigger explosion? just like say, if you set a small amount of petrol on fire, it goes off instantly, but only lasts a short time, because of the small amount of fuel, but say, 50 litres, will go off just as quickly, but burn longer because of the larger amount of fuel. I'm not sure. maybe someone else will know more.

You might as well be asking for a schematic of a electronic toilet brush powered by a micro sterling engine driven by warm breath with a mouthpiece that would only fit the stegosaurus. No such thing exists. Why would anyone have a schematic for it? Why would the guy who made this video have a schematic for a 50Gt Cobalt device? Who would have created such a schematic? Why would such a schematic exist? As far as is known, no weapon of such yield was even conceived, yet alone got to the engineering development stage at which engineering drawings would have been produced. It's a stupid question.

Let me be perfectly honest with you all. We all want to be so grateful that they just made a 50-mega ton yield weapon and that much only gave the pilots a 50/50 chance of survival. That’s great, and hey, I’m glad they made it out alive. But, question! Why didn’t they just build the freakin bomb on the ground. I know, I know, they wanted to produce the biggest fireball the galaxy has ever seen. But couldn’t they just light one off on the ground for starters? I’m sure the fireball isn’t going to disappoint in any case. Why the hell did they insist they had to fly this device and then make a mad dash to get the hell away from it?

The vaporized earth from a ground burst of this magnitude could have produced enough fallout to destroy much of life on the northern hemisphere. Certainly local fallout would have killed everything for thousands of miles downwind !

It still boggles my mind that the energy from the primary can set off one or two secondaries in the extremely short amount of time before it explodes. I think we are talking nanoseconds.

@trenken 6 ай бұрын

Videos like this are very misleading. All this stuff that is decribed here, which sounds like many steps, all happens basically instantaneously. 3 stage bomb, bang bang bang immediately. These graphics showing atoms being split, multiplying, fusing, etc, all of that is happening at the speed of light. Billions and billions of these things colliding and releasing energy all at the same time.

@@tratzum Nor do you say no in Putin's Russia. I asked, though, since the bomber shown in the video was a big turbo prop one (which is probably what was needed for such a heavy payload), but such a plane would take about an hour to get 700K from the drop-side, and I don't think that bomb would take even close to that much time to get down to 4000meters (or was it feet?) above ground, no matter how big the parachutes. Or am I missing something, here?

The plane got about 30 miles away and it was covered with a special coating to resist thermal radiation.

@phdnk 11 ай бұрын

Distance, and doppler effect saved the plane from being destroyed by the air blast. Still, the aerodynamic lift force was temporarily disrupted, which caused the plane to dive involuntarily.
