Rare Footage Of Ivy Mike Nuclear Explosion Cloud

The Mike device was unlike any previous bomb. Weighing about 82 tons, it looked more like a small factory than a bomb and relied on liquid deuterium, a rare form of hydrogen, that had to be kept at extremely low temperatures.
It was based on the ‘Teller-Ulam’ design, a revolutionary two-stage configuration that used nuclear fission to trigger nuclear fusion. This allowed for a much larger explosion than conventional atomic bombs.
On November 1, 1952, at Enewetak Atoll, the Mike device was detonated. The explosion produced a staggering yield of 10.4 megatons, around 700 times more powerful than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
The blast created a fireball over 3 miles wide, and a massive crater nearly 1.2 miles in diameter and 175 feet deep. The sheer force vaporized the island of Elugelab, leaving nothing behind but a hole in the ocean.

The most expensive way to fry shrimp ever conceived.

The most beautiful test of them all... Mesmerizing.

[@garysmith9818]

Nice one ATC!Thanks for posting.

[@DerZenith]

There is no proper footage of Ivy Mike even though it was one of the most powerful nuclear detonations in history. All we get is the finished mushroom cloud.

[@jasonmikolajewski2653]

Why exactlky is that? Is there some sort of classified reason that Mike would be hidden when so many other tests are shown more or less completely?

[@MichaelBoltonsEntireCatalog]

Great work as usual, ATC. Rock on.

[@ChrisZoomER]

Terrifying and chilling!

[@jamesroets800]

Man that's scary!

[@dbGN-zy9vo]

I hope there is some new nuclear test footage of Operation Hardtack I 1958 and Operation Dominic 1962.😂

[@kzm1934]

Please stop premiering everything, just release them instead! Still, Ivy Mike footage is rare and of not-great quality so I’m looking forward to this.

說得很對

[@willharmatuk4723]

It tells you a new video is coming. It also creates a bit of hype. But the fact that it lets you know a video is coming is useful.

[@MichaelBoltonsEntireCatalog]

He has to hype it up to get through the programming. I'm subscribed, have been for years now and I just got it on my end five days after it was put up. ATC had major thunder for a while, then YT started their "anti mis/dis information" garbage and ATC got caught up in it and was demonetized for a while. If he made the footage turn into a dude wearing a dress, he'd probably be get serious exposure on here.

That'd be cool but it's just vaporised pieces of the shot cab

i suppose the author can use the cahnnel's statistics to analize political tension in the world, especially considering that he has information on geolocation of people watching his videos. solely posting this statistics could interest some sociologists, i guess

Why?

[@insideoutsideupsidedown2218]

Nuclear weapons are developed by civilians, not the militarily
