The 10 Biggest Atomic Bombs Ever Built

[@georgepalmer5497]

During much of the Cold War the U.S. had 25,000 nuclear warheads, and Russia had 30,000. The warheads were smaller than at previous times but there were so many of them. Also, Russia had a stockpile of missiles with 25 megaton warheads aimed at our major cities.

[@HailAnts]

As far as the first bombs names go, from Wikipedia: _"These code names were created by Robert Serber, a former student of Oppenheimer's, who worked on the Manhattan Project. He chose them based on their design shapes; the Thin Man would be a very long device, and the name came from the Dashiell Hammett detective novel The Thin Man and series of movies by the same name. The Fat Man would be round and fat and was named after Sydney Greenstreet's character in The Maltese Falcon. The Little Boy uranium gun-type design came later and was named only to contrast with the Thin Man._

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

How about explaining the huge drop in weight, from around four tons to 0.7 tons between Mark 41 and Mark 7? And how about listing every bomb's explosive power (TNT equivalent)?

[@SMshorts7000]

The Ivans RDS 220 Tzar bomba is the most powerful atom bomb ever built.

[@anonyfamous42]

It was designed to eradicated some Americans 😂🤣😅

[@hermanjohnson9180]

Lol. It wasn't an atom bomb. You're not very smart.

[@luispadilla1860]

It is not a Hydrogen bomb?

[@nicholasmazzarella2720]

Buzz Fantastic video. Thanks for the info. Love your voice keep up the great work.

[@christopherjamesboudoir]

I guess it depends on how you look at it but you could say that Ivy Mike, the first hydrogen bomb ever detonated, was the biggest ever built. The entire unit was housed in what was effectively a 3 story tall warehouse. It needed all that space to house the cooling system to keep the liquid hydrogen fuel in liquid form.

[@hitovaawomi8963]

Humanity realised and never go beyond bigger after seen the tsar bomba explosion .

[@curmudgeonextraordinaire1884]

The US realized that megaton yield weapons were wasteful. Weapons today are in the kiloton range.

[@hitovaawomi8963]

@@curmudgeonextraordinaire1884 oh ! thank you .

[@TheGrouch2000]

That you or I know about.

[@HailAnts]

Multi-stage hydrogen bombs can be made to be of almost limitless power. But their purpose is to kill people, and once you reach a ten megaton detonation size, there's little point in making it any bigger. There's nowhere on Earth where the population density is so high that a larger explosion would be needed. The Soviets made and deployed many multi-megaton range H-bombs (we called them 'city busters') but only because the accuracy of their early missiles was so poor. 'Humanity' realized no such thing. And the Tsar Bomba was witnessed by no one in the West.

[@robroskey6515]

Well you're part right, the US realized years before the tsar not to test bigger after castle bravo irradiated the south pacific but they still built them bigger. Russia didn't care and tested the tsar anyway as a form of sabre rattling but this was like 8 years after castle bravo. But yeah I imagine the tsar helped lead to the banning of atmospheric testing. People were thinking this is getting out of control no doubt

[@codemechanic2024]

can you image the energy produced if we can split atoms efficiently like how blackhole rips atoms.

[@johnmorse249]

thermonuclear bombs of that mega tonnage are not efficient. most of the explosive energy is vented to space. many smaller yield devices targeted properly are more effective.

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

They kill up to hundreds of thousands of people and make whole countries inhabitable for decades. How much more "efficiency" do you want?

Not true. See the Wiki article about the first bombs and how they were named and by whom.

I bet you can fill a cylinder in the ground with water and detonate 2 atomic bombs one on either end and then a 3rd in the middle and it would be bigger.

[@TheGrouch2000]

[@JamesJ30t]

@5:37 - 6:45 - Interesting, so it looks like the U.S. also had a "Tsar Bomba". I guess to stop the "pissing contest" with the Soviet Union, there was little reason to keep detonating these weapons.,

The Trinity test bomb eventually spread some radiation over 46 of the 48 lower states. Your bones and most everything else today has strontium 90 in it from atmospheric testing in the 50s and early 60s.

[@telar4491]

Correctly spelling Czar, not Tsar.

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

The latter is the correct and accepted English spelling.

[@patrickscalia5088]

Wrong. Since the Soviet weapon's (nick)name was originally spelled in Cyrillic letters, not Roman letters (as English speakers use) there is no "correct" spelling for Tsar/Czar in English but rather just an approximation resulting from trying to reproduce how the word is pronounced using the Roman alphabet. The way those sounds are represented using the Roman alphabet has changed over the decades but again it's still just an approximation and there's still no academically "correct" way to spell the word in English.

[@drek9k2]

I wonder what they did with all the cores of these disused nuclear bombs like the Mk IV

So did the Soviets. The Tsar Bomba that was tested used a lead secondary tamper which limited its yield to 50 MT. If they had deployed it they would have made them with a uranium tamper which would have doubled the yield to 100 MT.

[@HailAnts]

They knew that if they had tested it with the uranium tamper it would have been incredibly dirty. It would have increased the amount of radioactive material in the atmosphere nearly ten fold! So they used the lead one. Even the Soviets weren't that crazy..
