Tsar Bomba actually designed as 100 MT bomb, using 3rd stage fusion by combining 2 fusion bombs and 1 fission bomb together, the reason why it cut into 50 MT (actual explosion is 55 MT) simply because TU-95 crew definitely will get killed if the bomb was designed as 100 MT, so the 3rd phase was removed and only have 2 phases (1 fission and 1 fusion).

The yield estimate of the Fat Man has been more recently been revised to 24.8kt. The Tsar bomba yield was 56.8 Mt. The primary was smaller than shown. The AF&F package did not lie between the stages. The pit was not pure plutonium, and would have been larger than 6 inches. The secondary tamper was lead, not uranium. It's deuteride, not deturide. The sparkplug was probably boosted. The interstage material was not Styrofoam. The weapon was mounted inside the bomb bay, only the doors had to be removed and it protruded outside the bay. It didn't use a 32 point initiation system. The chemical explosive did not produce a neutron burst. A separate device does that. The feedback loop described as taking place in the secondary is inaccurate.

The actual yield of the Tsar-Bomb was 50MT at 97% fusion-yield and that was a derated version of a 100MT design (This was done to give the Tu-95 bomber-crew that dropped a chance to survive the blast - they nearly didn't). Also the test-device was a three-stage design not a two-stage design.

This is one of the most informative video I've seen on thermost nukes

[@spellplague]

The truth is that there is no use to keep increasing nukes payload. As the energy is expanded in a sphere which is a 3 dimension shape, that means that in order to double a Nukes radius we need to increase the payload 8 times (2x2x2). So the most optimal way to increase the destruction is to just user more smaller nukes in a wider area. Tsar Bomba was just an exhibition and it is almost impossible to be successfully used in combat now days due to its size. Missiles with multiple warheads are the most dangerous weapon today

Interesting fact: the uranium tamper was replaced by a lead one for Tsar Bomba in order to reduce radioactive fallout from the blast. This also reduced the bomb's yield from ~100 Mt to 58 Mt, because a large part of the explosive force of these "Teller-Ulam" type bombs comes from fission in the uranium tamper.

10/10 for the graphics, 6/10 for the scientific accuracy. The Soviet scientists never released any information on how the "Tsar Bomba" (which was the American nickname for it) was constructed and to this day we are left with guesses. The two best guesses are: two fission bombs with the fusion fuel between them leading to higher compression of the fusion stage and therefore more yield, or two fusion stages with the first igniting the second (again leading to more efficient use of the fusion fuel in the second fusion stage). Either way it was a highly impractical design!

The uranium compression cylinder in the description correctly described every thermonuclear bomb *_Except_* the actual Tsar Bomba that was dropped. Had the bomb been as described, its blast would have been 100 megatons TNT equivalent, and the bomber crew would not have survived. To cut that in half, lead was used instead of uranium, just as Ernest Jay wrote 7 days ago. I think that decision came from the bomb designers, one of whom was Andrei Sakharov. Presumably Khrushchev agreed.

In theory, the bomb would have had a yield in excess of 100 Megatons (418 PJ) if it had included the uranium-238 fusion tamper which featured in the design, but was omitted in the test mainly due to reduce the radioactive fallout and to assure the survivability of the bomb crew.

The physics of AN602 described completely incorrectly. At first, AN602 was a three-stage bomb. Unstead of a primary, the triggers were the two enormous thermonuclear two-stage secondaries, vaguely resembling these bombs described here. The tertiary was a giant block of 2 tons of lithium deuteride. In addition, according to public sources, the Soviet H-bomb design never used a cylindrical secondary shape like a design pictured here. Instead, secondary capsules were spherical or ellipsoidal. This video describes a design of early Teller-Ulam hydrogen bombs.

[@TheRetiredPanther]

According to public sources and photos, the AN602 tertiary was divided by six or eight ellipsoidal capsules, mounted symmetrically in the bomb case. These capsules are seen on footage of final bomb mounting as ellipsoids protruding from a big metal ring just about the case intersection.

[@Evan_Bell]

[@malanis]

Good video. The only thing I have to disagree with is the role of styrofoam... The low-z (mostly transparent to x-ray radiation) foam mostly serves to keep the radiation channel open between the primary and the secondary. While plasma pressure does provide some compression to the secondary, most of the compression that causes the secondary to ignite comes from the ablative effect on the surface of the secondary, caused by x-rays from the primary detonation (staged radiation implosion). Without the foam present to produce a low-z plasma, the ablation of the surface of the secondary would plug the radiation channel and prevent radiation transport to the secondary, and the secondary would not ignite.

[@malanis]

@@mozzjones6943 just an enthusiast that's been researching publicly available, declassified, and FOIA information about nuclear weapons for decades... good resources would be Sublette (Nuclear Weapons Archive), Hansen (Swords of Armageddon), and any number of declassified info available. Also... somewhere I read that this design possibly had two primaries compressing the secondary from either side. But I can't be sure on that. It seems like we have more info publically available about American weapons versus other countries' weapons...

[@sherry8444]

You say that the foam is mostly transparent to x-ray. But just to be clear, I don't think the particular x-rays from a nuke go through solid styrofoam, they don't even travel more than a few inches or feet in room temperature air. Only once the foam heats up enough (perhaps to the point where it is plasma and no longer foam) then it is transparent to x-rays. But the same is true of air - which also becomes transparent to the x-rays. So I can only guess why foam is specifically used. Even in Sublette's explanation the gap is called "empty, often filled with foam", which implies the foam isn't actually necessary.

[@malanis]

@@sherry8444 thanks for the correction… the foam would definitely need to be ionized to become transparent. And yes some designs most definitely did not use foam. No idea about modern weapons. I’m glad that people are interested in this topic and can provide ideas. I’m with Sublette on almost anything. Definitely as much of an expert as they come on the subject.

[@malanis]

@@sherry8444 I still think the foam helps keep the high-x material blowing off the inside of the radiation case and the surface of the secondary from blocking the radiation channel. But that’s just a guess (some others think so as well).

[@jeffbanks9955]

its staggering how so many reactions can happen in such a tiny amount of time

50 million tons of TNT. And it was a 100 million ton TNT bomb they reduced 50%. Apparently they were afraid it might blow a hole through the atmosphere, ( or worse).

[@konstasalminen1516]

it's pretty cool from the Tsar Bomba that it didn't set the atmosphere on fire

Bro, what is this at 5:08? Plutonium doesn’t undergo mitosis. The fission products don’t undergo fission because they generally aren’t fissionable isotopes. The fissionable set lives within the actinide series. The animation is showing fission products as undergoing further fission, which is misleading.

[@sherry8444]

It's worse than mitosis, one atom turned into three of itself

Fallen angel technology bud. Just like the Bible is an extraterrestrial book per say. The author that moved the writers (the prophets, kings etc) is not of the earth, that's why most of the earth rejects the Bible even some so called Christians.

You might want to actually look at information on the subject. What you're describing is the Teller-Ulam design. The Soviets used many smaller secondary sections in their devices.

It helps that they had a spy (or was it spies?) in the actual manhattan project.

[@borfer9366]

@@stripedpants1668 Don't blame spies for everything! This applies only to "ordinary" uranium bombs. But nuclear physics was very developed in the USSR, spies simply shortened the path. But the "father" of the hydrogen bomb is Academician Sakharov. And spies have nothing to do with it

I learned 2 things today 1. Tsar Bomba was '2 bombs' 2. Tsar Bomba was dangerous

[@ernst9100]

Why is NK still testing bombs? If the conclusion was to show mankind how dangerous nuclear bombs are then no lessons were learnt.Countries like NK continue to spent billions making these bombs and testing them. If human beings are tired of their own life on this planet then maybe a couple of thousands of Tsar Bombas ought to be developed and dropped in each continent. Other forms of life will definitely sprout into existence in a couple of millions of years

You forgot to mention that the bomb was designed for 100 megatons but was wound back to 50 megatons, so the plane could escape in time.
