- What kind of demon lives inside the smallest constituent of matter, one that allowed a grapefruit sized sphere of radioactive metal to annihilate the city of Nagasaki? How could a bomb that weighed 29 tons explode with the power of 50 million tons of TNT? Nuclear weapons are, in many ways, the defining feature of the current technological epoch. They have given humanity enormous destructive power. Indeed, the ability to commit autogenocide. For better or worse, we all live in the nuclear age. The atom bomb, the hydrogen bomb, the neutron bomb, this guide will tell you everything you need to know about nuclear weapons, from the fundamental physics to nuclear weapon design to nuclear war theory. This is my ultimate guide to Nuclear weapons.

Guys this is a re-upload. After nearly 2 years and 2 million views CZcams's algorithm decided that showing a hand igniting a pile of gunpower was displaying a dangerous act, like making an explosive, and so they killed the video. I tried to appeal it but a human agreed with the AI. I hate uploading old stuff but this was some of my most popular work, so I didn't want to waste it. My apologies if you lost a comment or an interesting thread but there was literally nothing I could do about it. Rest assured I'm working on some new content at the moment!
THANK YOU FOR THE REUPLOAD!!! LONG LIVE HISTORY!!!
I appreciate the re-upload. This is one of your most compelling and informative pieces of content and I know I've recommended it to many people. It's certainly not your fault you've had to re-upload "old stuff" and I, along with many others, wont judge you negatively for it. Thank you for creating this documentary in the first place.
Much appreciated!
Yeah Styropyro was on a panel recently where they mentioned how ridiculous that is, like making a laser that could literally fry your eyes out or a gas that's deadly with a single breath is fine, but fire and explosives are instantly nuked off the site, no pun intended. I was missing this video as it's one of my favourites, thank you for the re-up!
so glad. One of the best videos on the topic.
I'm so glad this has been reuploaded. Thank you for the history.
do you know why the original has been taken down ?
@@thelvadam2884 No, but I was sad when it was taken down because I used to watch it often. It was the first video I ever watched from this channel, and in my opinion, his best video.
@@FOXHOUNDProductions91 ohh okay i see.
Same here i found him aswell via that and its still my fav ! and i am lowkey obsessed with nukes so it was a dream come true finding this!

Whenever something is removed your safe in assuming it was youtube policy. Free speech and thought is consistently under attack. There is a case currently in the Supreme court regarding gov't (biden's) censorship on social media. I have conflicting notions. On one hand free speech should be protected as the highest priority under a liberal democracy. On the other hand people are stupid and misinformation abounds. There is one primary and unassailable issue with the gov't censorship side. The gov't are only people, too. People shouldn't be able to control what other people say and think. That is the definition of authoritarianism.
Classic liberalism is consistently under attack as well. Even by people who call themselves 'liberals'. Which makes zero sense. Changing and shifting the definition of words is a slick, underhanded, and covert way of confusing and programming a populace. The revolution having previously failed on its own merits uses covert, underhanded, and insidious means of furthering its goals. Demoralized and radicalized, you shall be.
The original is how I found this channel. Definitely worth another viewing!
17:44 I was told any nuclear program NEEDS constant maintainence and refurbishment but no one ever answered WHY. You are my hero.
Additionally tritium has around a decade of half-life, much like night sights lose brightness over the years, you lose the tritium in a thermonuclear device.
Normal corrosion itself also affects the core. Plutonium is a metal and it oxidizes.
@@ChucksSEADnDEADcorrosion is less of an issue. The pits are nickel-plated.
Me giving my expired nukes the sniff check
@@edwardharshberger1if you shake it and it starts getting warm you’re good to go
@@Combatant5They are gold plated now. It's better against corrosion. (Just a very thin layer of gold)
This video could be the basis of a graduate level course on the topic. I have been studying the history and science of nuclear weapons for about fifty years (ever since I came across an NSF report titled "The Long Term Effects of Multiple Nuclear Weapon detonations) This is by far the most thoroughly researched, scientifically accurate presentation on this topic. My sincerest compliments!
Google-
The flowers nuclear report
If you've been "studying" this topic and found this video to be the most comprehensive explanation you've come across, then you're not really studying it.
@@Martingray7875 Alternatives?
Lol You think this is good….? Go check out his Cruise Missile video.; It can easily be a course taught at a military academy anywhere on Earth.
@@Martingray7875
Five minutes in and seeing one error after another, some of them elementary:
4:46 "This process converts all of the solid to a gas." No it doesn't, and the previously shown chemical equation itself shows that it doesn't, and any kid who ever made black powder knows that it doesn't.
This is the sort of video I give up on, and it's a pity. With the increase of TTS robot narrators and AI-gathering of stills, video-clips, and text-generation, it's refreshing to hear actual people. I just want them to know their stuff.
I clicked just to get back on the watch list.
Welcome to the party, pal.
Now we know that’s real due to the latest subpoena. Thanks a lot FBI
Same
Makes going through customs so much more interesting...🤔🤣
Japanese subways and Australian tool sheds. The accessible stuff is the scary stuff.
I have downloaded this video and will Inshallah download the other videos later as well. You make excellent, excellent EXCELLENT content. No one has managed to deliver on topics with such professionalism and ease. It is a shame why certain videos get taken down.
Nuclear 101: How Nuclear Bombs Work Part 1/2
Great to see this video back. How can one of the best researched and informative videos be taken down by YT considering the absolute other crap that populates much of the YT universe. Keep it up mate. Your vids are absolutely top class.
I'll tell you why, because he produced this excellent documentary independent of the big players and on his own dime.
The 'system' doesn't reward people that play outside of it.
Hey it's back! My favorite video of yours.
Dude thank you for re-uploading this! I've been wishing I could rewatch it for months and months now, and had no idea why it disappeared from your channel!
I watched it the first time... I'll watch it again!
This channel's lack of subscribers is bordering on criminal, in my opinion. Excellent work, watched it again!
The thing about a fizzle is that it can still be devastating. If the expected yield was 500 kt but it only achieved 80 kt that's still more than enough to devastate a good sized portion of a major city. If say the target was an airbase just outside city limits that city is gonna have a bad day regardless. Fizzles matter from a military pov but from a societal pov any nuke that goes above 1 kt in heavily populated areas and above 100 kts in sparsely populated ones is gonna leave a large bodycount. If your goal in a nuke war is societal destruction fizzles aren't that big of a problem.
Would there also be an increased spread of radioactive un-reacted (?) material?
@@sir_vix I think that would all be situation dependent
@@sir_vixthats more dependent on how close to the ground it is upon detonation
There's a huge difference between "everyone in the city is dead within a week" and "half the city will die within a year or two, but thousands will die much sooner." There's also the idea that you could have made three (or more) times as many weapons with the same material instead of overbuilding a design that will likely fizzle, why destroy one city when you could instead destroy three, or destroy one and still hold the threat of destroying two more.
Yes, a fizzle is still a nuclear explosion which is bad, but it's also enormously wasteful even compared to efficient nuclear weapons.
@@sir_vixnah, nukes still leave lots of unreacted material.
So glad it's back. Probably one of the best videos on the subject out there.
Yes indeed!
Yes! Im so happy for the re-upload, this is one of my favorite videos on the whole net! Thank you!!
I’m so happy this is back. By far my favorite video you’ve ever made and the one that got me into your content. Incredibly well made and deserving of all the views it had
Thank you so much for the re-upload. This video is one of my favorites, and I had been missing re-watching it.
Keep up the great work!
You haven’t released a video I haven’t gleefully watched at least twice. Your Amazing attention to historical/technical detail and clear, unbiased delivery is appreciated and needed
There are support groups for that.
Thanks for re-uploading this, I thought it was gone for good.
Crazy. Such a good video. It sucks that there is a war on content that doesnt rot your brain
YT is promoting this video again, conrats.
The pictures in this report are amazing.
It’s a reupload bud
Let it simmer... may want to buy a shelter with biden
Thank you for reuploading this! This is the finest documentary made on the topic of nuclear weapons I have ever seen in my entire life. Densely packed with highly researched information and yet still explaining in layman's terms. This video is the gold standard that all others should be judged against.
This is great, you had me hooked with the title and the length of the video. Thank you for going in depth. Take care my dude
Welcome back, I've watched a few other good guides as well, its taking a while to really understand.
by far one of the best and most detailed videos on this topic ive ever seen. subscribed, and great job
This is a really good video. I don't think I'd seen it before the reupload.
You've done a fantastic job of covering pretty much every single point that it's important for an ordinary person to understand about nuclear weapons, to just the level of depth required in each case.
If I ever have to recommend one single video to someone who wants to have a working understanding of the entirety of the subject, it'll be this one.
Great to see the re upload i was looking for this a while back and was thinkig i was crazy
It's amazing the power that's inside an atom something so small we can't even see it man's discovery of this subatomic particle is brilliant
Never saw the original, thanks for the reupload. This is gonna be fascinating.
Excellent presentation. My father attended the A-bomb tests in Operation Crossroads in 1946. The Able test, an air burst, resulted in little radioactive contamination of the test vessels in the lagoon. The underwater Baker test constrained fission products in water droplets that fell back into the lagoon, resulting in far more contamination of the test vessels and the waters of the lagoon itself. Hulls and seawater systems of vessels that entered the lagoon following the test also became contaminated. This at a time when safety precautions and radiation monitoring procedures were not well established, and some servicemen entering the lagoon following Baker were quite unaware of the risks.
Many kids died after playing in a New Mexico river during many of the tests.
Fantastic to see this back, it is without equal & one of the best most well researched video's on this topic out there & is esential viewing for those into all things nuclear.
Definitely worth the rewatch mate! Thanks for all the work.
MY MAN RETURNED- albeit with an older video, but HE RETURNED!
One of my favorite documentaries ❤ glad to have it back
Nice to see this back ❤ this got my intrest to deepdive into this subject alooooot. Thank you and keep up the good work 🙂
This is by FAR the best and deepest vide about nuclear weapons on CZcams! I am verry Happy i found you, and i will share your amacing content with my friends!
Excellent video, quality is top-notch!
This was the video that got me watching the rest of your videos. So glad it's back.
Didnt know this was a reupload because 2 years ago idt Id found your channel at all yet, but ever since I did, top notch stuff through and through. If Im not awake watching it, nice long form vids like these also make for excellent night lights 🙂
I was looking for this for months! Thank you
Thanks for re-uploading, man. Your content is awesome and well-deserving of another comment and a like. Screw those guys.
fantastic vid ❤ and thank you for not putting background music, i put these vids on while studying and practicing guitar so it helped a lot
This was the video YT recommended to me that ended upnserving as a gateway to the rest of your channel. Rewatching and commenting for the algo. Keep doing your thing
So detailed and on-point!
Sweet video! Thanks!!
Almost 100k subscribers, pre-congrats!!
Thank you for reuploading. Best video on the subject I have ever seen and i know a thing or two about a thing or two
This is the best vídeo on nuclear weapons I've ever seen! Congratulations,it's a wonderful documentary!
It’s back!
❤❤ hooray! Its a belated birthday gift, thank you for re uploading.
Thank God this is back. I've been desperate for it for months
Listening to this (again) while cooking. Thanks for the re-upload.
I want to take a moment to express my admiration for your scientific videos, which have a calming, informative effect on me. I am particularly fond of your previous dissections of the atomic theory, which I find highly engaging and informative. I strongly appreciate your voice; that Aussie narration in the video creates a sort of exotic intimacy, which adds to my enjoyment of the content. Additionally, I am grateful for your videos on the Pacific military operations, which were fascinating.
I think your style is outstanding with the quality of the videos, and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to watch them for free. Thank you for making these videos while naturally making the very most informative pieces about these amazing underlying subjects.
WHAT A SAPP ! THIS SITE IS RUN BY WOKE COMMIES ! FUCK HEADS . GO X !!!!
Absolutely crucial knowledge; watched the 1h42m video straight through. Excellent content.
Your channel is amazing. And I am going to watch this again.
Excellent video!
This makes me immensely happy. Lots of people missed this video.
I thought I had seen this before... excellent work
Very well put together and equally terrifying
Thank you your stuff is top rate and I am always waiting for more but quality takes time
thank you for this, as it contains the detailed physical and engineering aspects of these weapons that typically are glossed over by others. Clearly you have put a lot of effort into this.
Thank you for uploading this again....a few months ago I was trying to find it and couldn't believe it disappeared. IMHO this is the best nuclear documentary out there....and I have seen most of them....from Trinity...and beyond...pun intended :)
Nice to see this again, although I was initially very excited, thinking it was a new video😉.
This video is amazing. Thank you.
It's back!!! I've never been so excited to see a history lesson about nuclear weapons, one which I have already watched at least 6 times. I am waiting for your final Iraq War installment like it's Christmas, btw.
Thanks for the tutorial
Very informative and through details, impressive.
What a fantastic video. Thank you very much.
A brilliantly researched and narrated documentary on the evolution of nuclear weapons.
Very fascinating and professional looking presentation!
thanks for the reupload man i missed this video
Thanks. Quality content.
Very informative, great video
ive been looking for this like crazy!!!
So glad this video is back
Glad to see this back.
I thought this was going to be a how-to video, now I have to send all this stuff back to Amazon...
Thanks for reuploading. It would have been a shame if this was lost ❤
Third time I'm watching this now and it only gets better
thanks for the reupload, time to watch it again.
great video to watch at 2am
Thank you for the re upload.
I love this and fall asleep regularly to it. I searched and search for this video and thought I was crazy, Or that it was lost forever.
Still one of the best vids on the tube!❤
ohh finally ! its back ! my favorite Video !
Hell yeah, the first video that got me into this excellent channel has been reuploaded! Let's gooo
Thank you for the totourial
The best explained and most comprehensive compilation of Nuclear Weapons history on the platform.. period. Thank you for re-uploading ❤
Beatufully narrated, highly informative video. Learnt a lot, enjoyed the learning. Thank you very much for such great work.
One of your best videos, thank you so much for the reupload. It's so hard to find info like this anywhere else.
Thank you so much for re-uploading it, tracking down a mirror for it was such a pain in the ass
Oh, nice. I'm glad to see this come back.
I watched this first time. This is great stuff.
glad to see it's back
heres some free engagement, thank you for the reupload
TY, my favorite bedtime video
Aptly named video. This is the best on the subject I've yet seen.
Very informative.
I had such a blast watching this.
Superb work. Pls take this as an enthusiastic vote for an ultimate guide to the history & development of the torpedo.
i did not expect to be adhered to my seat, but i was. Very good, many thanks
