a hydrogen bomb ignites using a plutonium/uranium fission reaction, which provides enough energy to cause fusion of deuterium-tritium in the bomb, which can be layered multiple times
-
haminabowl: look up the definitionn of a thermonuclear bomb before you try and correct people, and thermonuclear is, in fact, a hydrogen bomb
-
thermonuclear is just nuclear not a hydrogen bomb
-
Good work.
-
The way most thermonuclear bombs (H-Bombs) work, are that they have concentrated high explosives to compress a plutonium bomb (also called a primary). The primary becomes critical, and detonates, resulting in a fission explosion which then provides the heat and energy for nuclear fusion.
-
Tangle10: we can cause fusion such as for bombs our problem is sustained fusion.
-
You did it right, Chemical Explosive Sets off Plut Creating the necessary energy to cause fusion. Just like real life +1
-
Avi_: Nope. Fusion is too beyond our tech right now, they use fission.
-
I thought that they used hydrogen for fusion?
