It's not in 4k, lol.

@@dziban303 the restoration of the film is, and i hope they produce an Ultra 4k bluray from that source.

@@maxpower78-15 I would buy it at once. Sadly, already the neutron bomb movie doesn't seem to get physical supports, which i prefer a lot.

​@@maxpower78-15 So you haven't actually seen it in 4k like you said in your original comment. Right. Thanks for clearing that up

@@dziban303 actually, what i am saying is that ive seen this shot on broadcast television, on vhs, on dvd, on bluray, and a remastered bluray. Peter Kuran did have this footage remastered in 4k. I hope to see it properly released on a 4k ultra hd bluray. And no matter how its presented here on you tube, the newly remastered footage reveals more detail than ive ever seen over hundreds of times of viewing that minute or so of amazing film. Thats all. Any person with eyes and a memory can tell the footage looks clearer than it ever has. Meanwhile, you are arguing with a stranger over linguistic semantics. My initial harmless statement did not require a conversation or argument. Im just happy to see the George Event look better than it ever has. If you dont like it, i have several suggestions for you…

I thought it had died

🤣

I wish he did, the explosion in Oppenheimer was hilariously pitiful

@@ryanwoods9608 amen. I looked over and said "that was a dud wasn't it."

@@ryanwoods9608 pitiful? I need you to rephrase that

@@BlueBeardW dogshit then? For someone who is into physics and been watching nuclear tests for 30 years the movie blast would be akin to someone seeing a blatant mannequin being thrown off a balcony in a thriller in such a way that it completely ruins an otherwise perfect scene over the hilarity of it.

I feel that way about most nuke footage!

Kind of like watching a tornado form, it is both interesting and terrifying at the same time

True

​@@bdr32965we can say that about almost every natural disaster as well.

Just two. Just find two old cities that can be readily abandoned (the US has plenty), and put tonnes of recording equipment everywhere and do one city in the day time and another city at night.

Beat me to it. I think that's him, has matching facial features.

@@HiAdrian it's very obviously Teller

Yes it's Teller.

Yes, Teller. The biggest prima donna of the nuclear age. That's Stan Burriss at 1:07. He was later a vice president at Lockheed.

​​@@MrShobar Wow, I've always wondered who he was as he's in the George and Mike firing sequences.

The Nolan version was in my opinion bad.

@@herrunbekannt7556 Agreed. They clearly stumbled at the money shot.

My dad said the same thing.

@colinhogan5661 And it will one day condemn billions.

At least there is a pulley/ratchet in my left ear at 0:10

I can hear it in both.

@@K0GAi. Music is only in the right channel. Sound effects are both in the beginning, then right channel only in the second half.

@@K0GAi. No you can't.

​@@dziban303 He could have mono headphones or have the mono settings turned on.

@@K0GAi. It cuts in for me at 0:08 and out at 0:25 and stays that way thought the rest of the video. And it's not my headphones cause every other video works fine.

The left channel was wiped out by the explosion.

Good one. 😂 totally looks like ‘em.

Mother put her little daughter fifteen, minutes under water. But not to do her any troubles, only to see these sweety bubbles...

Yep. Greenhouse George was the first test of the Teller-Ulam design - which really should be called Ulam-Teller - so naturally he was there.

@@JonMartinYXD Greenhouse George was positively _not_ a Teller-Ulam design.

@@slightlyirradiatedmuffin3257 Okay it would be fairer to call it a proof of concept, the concept being two stage radiation implosion. But those were the two key elements that separated the UT design from earlier fusion bomb designs: separate stages and crushing the fusion fuel in addition to heating it.

Everything inside the plasma ball would just be completely vaporized and gone with parts of structures remaining the further you go from ground zero. Terminator 2's "dream sequence" is the closest you're going to get to an actual urban detonation of a nuclear weapon.

Trinity test, 1945. The first ever nuclear bomb

​@@hilmust6278Este video no es del test Trinity de 1945.

this is a demo of ongoing work that is done, and people that have seen the original version will notice the augmentation. I guess you will have to buy the finished version to see the UHD.

@@deildegast That doesn't make any sense. If the point is to show off 4k content, the content should be in 4k. Anyway-I say this as a *huge* fan of Peter Kuran: the AI upscaling I've seen used here and in other recent atomcentral clips is not mature enough for primetime. Edges too soft, mysteriously moving or stationary parts of scenes, strange noise in place of film grain. It's too obviously the work of AI and that detracts from the experience.

Mein Reden!

Greenhouse George, first test of the Ulam-Teller design.

@IrradiandoAmor917 Greenhouse George on May 8 1951. It proved the concept of an implosion triggered thermonuclear reaction. This would be tested at full scale with Ivy Mike on November 1 1952. Castle Bravo was on March 1 1954.

Can't wait. Time for a reset anyway.

It's an experimental device to test if thermonuclear fusion is possible at all. There's a dewar capsule with D+T mixture in center of torus. The torus implodes around capsule, starts fission reactions, radiates neutrons and heats up and compresses D+T capsule. Deuterium and trituim begin fusion reactions. And fusion reactions generate high-energy neutrons wich can be detected. It made this way so fast thermonuclear neutrons could escape from the sides without any obstacles and could be captured with detectors. The device itself utilized radial implosion. It was not an light and 'effective burning' device intended to be a weapon, but a scientific instrument. But it also became the biggest explosion to the date.

Teller. Greenhouse George was the first test of the Ulam-Teller design.

Yes, he was present for Operation Greenhouse, overseeing the scientific processes and instrumentation.

No

@@hilmust6278 but why?!

@@dima.jiharev they were many miles away from the explosion. They were underground as well. Besides the explosion was not very large

@hilmust6278 oh well 🤷🏻‍♂️

huh????

The original version on DVD is much less detailed than this explosion.

God Bless Ukraine!!!! 🙏🙏🙏

@@thecandyman9308 Get the #$%^ out of here....

He's pouring liquid nitrogen into a secondary heat shield Dewar surrounding the liquid hydrogen fusion fuel.

Come again?

speak for yourself

That is a bizarre comment.

That would be the worst mistake Putin could ever make.

Not me. What has Ukraine done for me lately?
