>>982953
that's a b-57 Canberra in the first one. which came out in 1953 meaning that's probably a hydrogen bomb and thus the shot was taken from much further away than the black and white video which was "merely" a fission bomb which have a much lower yield and could be recorded much closer so you can see the pressure wave directly so it looks faster

>>977024
>>977021
Can someone explain what the first part of the blast everything experiences is? Is it the light/heat hitting first? I don't really get why there is a short blast before.

>>983030
It's the intense radiating thermal energy of the fireball causing the houses and surfaces facing ground zero to catch on fire/produce smoke/etc.

>>983004
The test in the OP was of a hydrogen bomb codenamed 'Poplar' and it was like the fifth largest nuke ever detonated

>>983030
iirc its in order of

-flash(speed of light)
-heat/thermal energy(cant remember exact speed)
-shockwave(speed of sound)

>Approximately 35 percent of the energy from a nuclear explosion is an intense burst of thermal radiation, i.e., heat. The effects are similar to the effect of a two-second flash from an enormous sunlamp. The thermal radiation travels at roughly the speed of light.
>Most damage comes from the explosive blast. The shock wave of air radiates outward, producing sudden changes in air pressure that can crush objects, and high winds that can knock objects down. In general, large buildings are destroyed by the change in air pressure, while people and objects such as trees and utility poles are destroyed by the wind.
http://www.atomicarchive.com/Effects/effects1.shtml

It's all based on the idea that energy = mass * (speed of light squared). A very small amount of this fissile material can contain a tremendous amount of energy (seen in the webm, for fusion). When released explosively, most of this energy will superheat the air to the point of making it turn to plasma/appear to catch fire, and the rest of it will escape out at the speed of light as a flash of heat and gamma. This huge change in temperature causes an extreme increase in air pressure, which causes the air to expands outward extremely quickly in a very violent, fiery wind (the shockwave). The "fireball" is really just any area where the air has been heated to the point of incandescence.
All of the energy from a nuclear explosion is produced inside the fissile material; there is no chain reaction continuing into the air that drives the explosion (I once thought that's how it worked).

Why airburst doesn't have fallout and surface detonated seem to have much higher death count due to fallout?

>>986549
For a surface burst, the ground gets vaporized and is irradiated by the bomb, then condenses in the mushroom cloud and gets spread out as fallout. For an airburst, it's high above the ground, so it essentially can't do that and the fireball basically doesn't have any material to irradiate and turn into fallout. There's more in-depth information on wikipedia and such.

>>986779
Oh, interesting. I thought that fallout is mainly made out of fissible material from the bomb.

Questions: Before the blast wave hits which destroys everything, there's slight movement from dust and stuff, and almost looks like a layer of flame engulfs the house/blinds, or maybe it's just dust movement. With the blinding light of the initial explosion, is it accompanied by intense heat? Or does that come with the pressure wave?

Also, shortly after the pressure wave hits the houses, it seems to retract back the direction it came. Is this part of the same process that causes the mushroom cloud itself (ie a huge vacuum caused by the explosion and heat suddenly being filled as it cools?)

Forgive me if these are stupid questions, I've always found nukes fascinating but only since webms have I noticed subtle things like this

>>999957
That first burning is from the thermal radiation brought on by the bomb's flash, which travels at the speed of light. The blast wave expands out much slower and hits a few seconds after the flash of heat and light.
It's like a giant sunlamp, as this guy said: >>983302

I also saw a thread about it on /sci/ not too long ago, might answer some questions:
https://warosu.org/sci/thread/7921898

>>999957
>With the blinding light of the initial explosion, is it accompanied by intense heat?

Before, actually. In the first few milliseconds of the explosion, the fireball is emitting an absurd amount of X-rays and heat at the speed of light. When the flash appears, that's because the fireball has actually cooled into the visible spectrum. Then, the fireball's rapid expansion compresses the air around it, producing both the blast and even MORE heat. This, like the another anon said, happens at the speed of light, as opposed to the speed of sound blast wave.

Nukes burn everything before and beyond the blast. A good-sized air burst will cause (lethal) third-degree burns to exposed skin at distances where the blast, when it arrives, won't injure you.

>Is this part of the same process that causes the mushroom cloud itself

Sort of -- the fireball is, as we've discussed, extremely hot, and after it expands to pressure equilibrium with the surrounding air, it shoots up like a 5-mile-wide hot air balloon. That much volume rising that fast creates a massive vacuum underneath it, which is what pulls the pulverised ash and dirt under the fireball into the column that is the 'stalk' of the mushroom cloud. So the blast and wind hits, and then reverses direction as it's pulled up beneath the rising fireball.

1950's =/= now

Besides, the DPRK is considered a loose cannon when it comes to threats of military aggression, so any sensible person would understand the reasoning behind restricting their nuclear testing and "satellite" launch capabilities.

>>987599
>>987782
Because enriched uranium (U-235) is incredibly expensive to manufacture. An AIM-120 costs anywhere from $300,000 to $1.78M to make, and the 50lb explosive on those is plenty to bring an aircraft down. Not to mention, if for some reason the missile does not find its target before the motor runs out, you now have a small ballistic nuclear missile headed for somewhere you didn't mean to nuke.

I've always thought of nukes as kinda like making a little mini temporary Sun. yea... the Sun is kinda hot, just incase you didn't know lol. It's so hot, it even damages stuff here on Earth, millions of miles away. Now imagine making a Sun here on Earth, even just for a fraction of a second. It'd instantly start burning every thing for miles, creating smoke and ash. Once the blast wave arrives, it looks like dust being blown off. ....which leads us to the second part.

>Also, shortly after the pressure wave hits the houses, it seems to retract back the direction it came.
Get a bucket of water or go to a pool. Slap your hand in the water. If you do it right and look close, you'll see you're actually pushing a lot of water out of the way. The water then collapses back into place. This is pretty much what's happening with a nuke. When it detonates, it pushes massive amounts of the atmosphere out of the way (the blast) and then it collapses back into place.

>>1009689
No they wouldn't, the main thing they were fighting for was the ability to surrender conditionally instead of unconditionally, mainly because they feared the Allies would depose the Emperor, among other things - which they didn't anyway. In fact, even after the bombs were dropped a large faction of the military insisted to continue fighting and force terms based on the idea that the USSR, which hadn't declared war on them yet, would help mediate such a peace treaty. However, once the USSR invaded Manchuria they knew they were on their own and accepted unconditional surrender.

Besides which, a military target or even an uninhabited island within sight of the Japanese military could have been used as a demonstration and would have been just as effective at frightening the Ruskies, which was secretly the main objective anyway - but civilian targets that hadn't been damaged in previous bombings were chosen, because they wanted to see just how much damage the bomb would do and determine casualty rates, and decided that 200,000 noncombatants were just the targets they needed.

I thought I read somewhere that the bomb isn't even that efficient, which if true is insane. What's equally amazing is we pulled this feat in the fucking 1940's.

>>980775
Like other anon said, they were rockets with smoke trails. They showed how the otherwise invisible shock wave behaved.
>>980446
No, they use star trackers. The only reason best Korea launches "satellites" is to develop its rocket hardware etc and probably the star tracker is in one of those sats.

anyone got any footage of nukes in space?

I'd imagine that a lot more of the energy would be released as gamma and thermal radiation (during the "flash" at the beginning) than when the bomb is detonated in thick atmosphere (like normal tests on earth.) A lot of the effects of nuclear bomb seem to come from the air becoming violent after absorbing so much of this flash-energy

Quit crying you fucking retard
Two bombs were not enough

>>983302
Kudos for the concise explanation
>>tmw you realize how conventional these weapons are.

>>1047447
>>983302
the original fission bombs were not that efficient in that usually only a portion of the fissile material was successfully reacted, the rest of it fizzled out and was destroyed by the rest of the explosion. We can cause a fission (atom splitting) explosion by using conventional explosives to crush plutonium/uranium to critical mass. To make atoms fuse together, however, takes a lot more force. Even with the sun, fusion only happens inside the core.

A hydrogen bomb consists of a large enclosure (called a tamper) that is made of dense fissionable material, typically uranium. Most of the inside is taken up by the "secondary;" a fusion core made of light hydrogen-containing material. The rest of the space is occupied by an original fission-bomb called the "primary."

When the primary is detonated, much of the initial energy is instantly reflected back throughout the enclosure/tamper. For the secondary, the combination of the kiloton-strength explosion right next to it and then half of that explosion's energy being reflected/focused on it creates an environment suitable for fusion - the secondary stage.

As vast numbers of hydrogen atoms then fuse together, the explosion hits the uranium tamper (and the plutonium primary core) so hard that all of it explodes violently, with none wasted like with the old fission bombs. All this happens nearly simultaneously.

Ultra powerful soviet bombs like the Tsar Bomba (50 Mt) even had more stages like this, with a tamper around the tamper and an even larger second fusion core. They used at least one lead (instead of uranium) tamper to cause more fusion and prevent fallout. The lead absorbed/reflected much of the radioactive material from the dirty fission reaction and made Tsar Bomba a clean, 97% fusion explosion.

With weapons that powerful, most of the energy ends up just getting blasted up into space. Avoiding the dense lower atmosphere is the path of least resistance with an explosion that large.

Interesting. What is happening? I figured the ground would heave up before collapsing.

Why is so much of the light red with most of these videos? Shouldn't it be blue or just white? If you saw a nuclear explosion from a distance and from close up with, for instance, a welding mask, what would it look like?

>>1088749
When the underground nuclear device is detonated, it leaves a massive cavity. Once the heat and overpressure subside (to an extent) the earth above the cavity collapses.

There have been natural chain reactions in deposits of uranium ore.

>>1047447
Maybe it was referring to the fact that only a few percent of the weapon's mass are converted into energy. If we ever managed to mass-produce antimatter, that efficiency would go up to a hundred percent.

>>1090093

This anon is actually correct. I went to Hiroshima couple of years ago, went through the memorial.

There was a booklet for elementary school students teaching them the basics of trap making, fighting with sharpened bamboo spears, and telling them how it was the noblest thing to die for Japan in case the Americans invade the shores.

While the atomic bombs were dropped was the single most horrible thing we could have done, the other alternative would have been a slow, bloody war through Japan, where everyone was more than willing to sacrifice their lives to fend off the invaders.

The destruction of two cities is a small price compared to the combined bloodshed that would have befallen both sides.

>>1090865
Going down maybe in the next 50 posts so maybe another day, I would save it now

>>1090955
It's not like Hiroshima and Nagasaki were the only cities annihilated from the air. Far from it, really. They just happened a lot faster and with a lot fewer bombs.
Did you know that in Germany, unexploded WW2 aerial bombs are still being found by construction crews in cities on a daily basis? Makes sense considering that literally millions of tons of the things were dropped, and up to like 20% of them were duds.

>>1090971

That is quite true. The fire raids were a fairly constant threat in any industrial city, and a lot of times, the bombs would be carried by winds and hit residential areas. Given that wood was still the most commonly use building material, the damage they did was massive.

But having two cities removed from the face of the earth in an instant was, thankfully, enough of a shock to show the Japanese they were not going to win the war.

Point is, while horrible, the use of atomic weapons saved more lives than it cost in the end.

>>1090701
Yeah

>bump limit

>>1090877
Yeah, in Ethiopia. It would self regulate with the inflow of water.
>>1090889
Yup, 100% energy conversion
>>1090979
>saved more lives than it cost in the end.
As much as it's painful to say it's true. But some people will argue with that and can't into logic and facts.

>>1090701
When a sub is even at a moderate level of depth the water pressure is immense. Even a fairly small hole can fill an entire section fast enough to kill people before they drown.

>>1090675
A thermonuclear bomb will destroy more, but in terms of an "evil weapon" the neutron bomb is much worse. I'd rather be instantly vaporized by a hydrogen bomb rather than die an extremely painful death due to radiation poisoning. Even the creator, sam cohen, regards it "the most detestable weapon on earth, far more so than the hydrogen bomb."
