1. Not exactly. A simplified explanation is that a typical plutonium bomb is exploded next to a large canister of gaseous hydrogen isotopes. the pressure from the plutonium bomb compresses the hydrogen causing pressures and temperatures high enough to fuse the hydrogen, which releases vast amounts of energy.

2. yes the process invoves fission and fusion with a chain reaction

3. Does the hydrogen react with the uranium to create the big explosion ?

4. it has 2 blocks of uranium and tnt for the explosion, and then the hyrdogen on top for more power

5. thats right, it would need like a ktones of compressed hydrogen lol xp but for what you reply? for the how is that?? if its that one either way they are hydrogen isotopes its a based hydrogen bomb I now that, and then it fuses to helium… haa?

6. it starts as duterium and tritium than moves to hydrogen fusion its not just hydrogen getting lit on fire like everyone thinks

7. why u say its not hydrogen, they are hydrogen isotopes

8. How is that?!?!?!?!

9. yh i do know that .. but like u said “h bomb isnt actually hydrogen” im just saying y is it called hydrogen if it isint hydrogen.. logic? or is it just american doing what they do best…?

10. you do know the h bomb isnt actually hydrogen its nuclear fusion of duterium and tritium

11. (“atomic”) bomb is like 20,000 tons of TNT
    (“hydrogen”) bomb is like 10,000,000 tons of TNT
    i would have thought id be the other way round but o well…

12. seems like something that should be dropped in Afganhistan

13. thats a part of the sun (not literally) right there

14. it need an a-bomb to set it off!

15. hot damn!

16. Holy !@#$ WOE!

17. holy shit!

18. WOW

19. clip doesnt run

20. <0.<0

22. @sparkles08iya, it’s called the Lead of a pencil, but is made of graphite. Using actual Lead in pencils would put us at risk of heavy metal poisoning silly.

23. no, i think LEAD is used in pencils… i read it in a book :D

24. THIS IS AMAZING
