If I'd had a science teacher like you in high school, I probably actually would have gone into the sciences after all. But I lived in an era where girls were discouraged from the hard sciences. I got told I was too bad at math to do it, which effectively gutted my interest. Happily though, in the internet era, I can study what I am interested in to my heart's content. Thank you for putting this out into the world, so we can continue to learn.
1:00:56 That's a boosted fission device. It is the primary core of most staged thermonuclear devices, but is not a complete staged device. A complete staged device will also have a proper fusion fuel stage (usually Li6D fuel), a uranium or plutonium spark plug, and finally a depleted or natural uranium tamper.
A neutron weapon is the above thermonuclear device with the tamper removed. The fusion stage produces a huge amount of high energy neutrons which then cause fast fission in the tamper and this creates most of the explosive yield in a thermonuclear device. In a neutron weapon, the tamper is absent so the high energy neutrons are released directly to the environment. There is also a "salted" device, which has a cobalt 59 tamper, which is transmuted to cobalt 60 by the fast neutrons from the fusion stage. It is unknown if any of these devices were ever taken any farther than concept as they are theorized to be capable of rendering the most of the earth uninhabitable.

Will you see a hydrogen bomb uses three different explosives or three different mechanisms conventional explosive to set off the plutonium and then the plutonium goes through fission and then the fission explosion is mirrored and redirected toward the hydrogen which then it causes that extreme heat and pressure causes it to fuse and then it detonates with that power so it's three and one
First, fission bombs dont use thermal neutrons, thats for reactors... secondly critical mass considers the element and isotope used, the enrichment percentage of a given isotope, use of a neutron reflector or not, and shape of the package, sphere vs cylinder vs cube. You can have a 4kg critical mass or a 2000kg critical mass.... you have to be careful you are giving complete information or you will confuse someone who really wishes to learn....
Hbombs r basically classified so who is to say exactly how they work. But I was thinking it could be as simple as filling sphere of plutonium with tritium. Cold fusion as a neutron generator. Only thing complicated is the math/timing. Have max neutron flux at percise septillionth of a second. USSR first Hbomb was bigger than a house. Me thinks enough concrete n steel to hold it together for an Xtra shake or 2. Shake equal the time it takes for fission reaction to start another. 4quadrillionths of a second. I just an old carpenter who dropped out of 7th grade. So I may sound dumb

@@captainotto The prof is basically clueless.
Couldn’t you drive the dirty bomb truck with cement or lead in between the bomb and the cab.?
A dirty bomb is not a nuclear bomb as such.
Terrific explanation

He sucks! He is very unprecise.. Porly unprepared.
