- These are 6 insane stories about nuclear weapons and their history.
00:05 - Norwegian Rocket Incident
03:15 - Lost Nuclear Weapons -
07:29 - Fighting a fire with Nuclear Weapons
12:32 - How do Nukes work?
19:07 - Nuke the Moon
23:02 - Nuking North Carolina
Black Btant 7.... looks more like Black Brant 12.
The chiget in the US is called "the football". When I got to go up to airforce one past security (mother worked for his campaign) to shake his hand there was a secret service agent with a thick black briefcase that they loaded into his limo and he had an Uzi with one of those supper long clips like in the die hard movie. This has happened way too many times and think of all the russian ones we dont know about.
Unreal❤❤❤❤the content😊😊😊😊
I can assure you that foam isn't "polystyrene"! 🤣 Where'd you get those diagrams??
You refer to the US government at 22:56, however the image displayed King Bhumibol of Thailand's address during his visit to the US, which obviously had nothing to do with nuclear weapons.
No A-4 ever carried a device larger than about 25 kilotons, nowhere close to a megaton. The Skyhawk could carry more than its own weight, but that's not enough to carry a weapon that big.
The A-4 carried the B43, B57 and B61 bombs. The B43 had a maximum yield of about 1 megaton, so yes it did.
Those aren't nukes being loaded into that aircraft @ 18:44, those are cluster bombs - ie Rockeye or similar. You just threw this together, didn't you?
1:05. "XII" represents 12 in roman numerals, not 7.
Great video. This deserves 1M views
15:07 - Critical mass ... was reached by firing the material together, and this critical mass depends on the density of the material." No. This critical mass depends on making the mass of the material higher by building a bigger mass, n9t by increasing its density. The increase in density happens with the implosion (Fat Man) mechanism, which you don't cover until after you discuss some fusion at15:45..
15:42 - "In fact, it [fusion] can be thousands of times greater [than fission]..." No, hundreds perhaps, boosting 20 kilotons to 2 megatons, and the reason is not from the fusion itself but rather because it generates high energy neutrons that cause fast fission in a uranium tamper.
15:50 - You discuss the neutron initiator as part of an implosion device, even though it is also used in the gun-type fission bomb.
16:20 - "Fusion is a much better bomb type than fission due to its efficiency..." No, it's due to its ability to generate high-energy neutrons that can fission normally inert depleted uranium. Fusion weapons use both a fissile "spark plug" and the tamper to make the best use of fusion's abilities. Both the primary and the secondary use a uranium tamper to boost their yields.
16:22 - your diagram is backward. The fission primary is in the top of the cone, the secondary in the base allowing more LiD to be contained, as in the drawing at 17:58.
16:57 - "An injected gas consisting of deuterium and tritium..." No, only tritium. The object there is not to explode the hydrogen isotopes, but to squeeze out a quantity of those neutrons to increase the generational fission in the primary.
18:07 "far more radiation for equal yield." No, TANSTAAFL. The yield is reduced by eliminating that U-238 tamper on the secondary. It floods the neutrons instead into the environment, but the yield is lowered by the loss of that final fission stage. But it is still a themonuke, with what that implies for the exposed environment. "without actually having to blow anything up." Only half a thermonuke.
21;08 - 'blowing up a nuclear bomb on the moon posed no risk to humans..." Uhh, unless the missile failed before crossing into the moon's gravity well. Further, there would be no control over where it would land and what the bomb would do when it got there.
One of the best channels on all things nuclear to be found. Didn’t want the video to end 😊.
Excellent presentation. Thankyou xxx. I will subscribe with pleasure..
Dr. Evil had his minions steal those missing warheads from the commie sub....
Wow a lot of inaccuracies... Too many to list. Uploading this type of content might be outside your ability. As soon as I heard you say the USSR collapsed in 1995 I knew this was going to be bad 😂
The video loses its way and forgets what its subject was supposed to be. IT is obviously edited together from other videos, as there are slip-ups revealing subjects from other videos not covered in this one.
Why are you talking like that?

Why the filler about how bombs work? That seemed like a weird interjection when the topic is nuke incidents. Oof! Yeah, you should have left out the "instructional" segment on how bombs work, because it's full of errors. Like, really a lot of mistakes. Narrator's matery or understanding of technical / jargon terms is poor, as is their grammar. When you are speaking on technical subjects, your language must be correct otherwise you end up sounding pretentious, not smart.
