@@TJTurnage I believe the initial reaction causes a large burst of photons to be released as well as ionizing the air causing it to glow, then the second is just from the massive explosion. both will be partially obscured as smoke/explosion clouds develop

Mr. Atomic, Thank you. You have outdone yourself once again. Stunning sight to behold. A unique test film and after affect. I speculate the deep black charcoal cloud is volcanic particles. The stem of the cloud structure appears as if it is formed instantly into a solid standing stock.
@@walter9724 Yeah, that's obvious lol. Oh and don't forget to check out before what the yield is to be safe during detonation.In the worst case you need to take at least a distance of 150 kilometers...But i don't think there will be a second Tzar..Oh, and don't forget your "sun"-glasses;) .
In that cloud, are the remains of everyone you ever loved, everything you knew and believed in. All reduced to vapor. The kind of power that isn't terrifying, but mesmerising
The title is correct. it's not thermonuclear _bomb explosion_. It's thermonuclear _testing_. The George shot was a special type toroidal fission bomb which ignited small portion of thermonuclear fuel in it's center to test basic fusion concepts - the first thermonuclear burn. And two tests in series were thermonuclear-related. Item shot utilized tritium boosting. Easy became Mk5 bomb and also primary for Ivy Mike.
If I will be alive when (yes, I said when… not if) a nuclear war starts, I only wish I’ll be as close as possible to one explosion. I’d rather be *flash* and gone than live with the consequences of radiation poisoning-nuclear winter-famine.
I'm sure it's logarithmic, but is there info on what temps are found near the circumference/outer-ring of the fireball? Post-Detonation I mean, where it's rising and begins to (almost) look like a "normal" fireball. *I get it, nothing normal about it: scope, strength, duration, etc. But frankly it's hard to describe.
If you're interested, Chapter 1 in the book, "Blast Wave" describes the formation of the shock front, radiation front, and when the temperature is low enough to radiate visible light. The subsequent chapters give the formulas required to calculate different blast effects.
@@buckhorncortez "blast wave", got it. Already written down. Thank you! I'm hoping to find out what the expanding, but no longer fissioning, fireball consists of. I figure the fire is actually the "cooling down" of the initial reaction, but my intuition ends there. Because to me anything "burning" seems to need "stuff" to burn. Maybe the physical byproducts can cause constant conflagration? But if it's "energy", then to put it bluntly, I need to understand it better! Again, thanks so much.
That's awesome, I wish there was more footage like this that doesn't cut off after the fireball. What test is this?. I've never seen this Particular film before

@@jimofaotearoa3636 no this was shot “George” from Operation Greenhouse 1951. This device tested was essentially a fusion boosted fission design. Meaning only a small percentage of it’s total yield output was from a fusion reaction while the rest or majority was from fission.
Thats called a Wilson cloud. It happens in humid air. The pressure drops after the shock wave passes called a rarefaction. Condensation occurs as the temperature drops. You can even see it on large explosions in Vietnam during the war.
Either you’re referring to the Wilson cloud or that “skirt” like appearance around the stem you see start to form. It’s literally called an “Ice Skirt” much like an “Ice cap” forms at the crown of the mushroom cloud not too long after detonation.
@@AverageNeighbor what you see under the Mushroom cloud, the skirt cloud, is not caused by the explosive shockwave itself, which is long gone by this point, but rather by the broiling Mushroom cloud itself. The Mushroom cloud is very hot and shoots into the sky very fast, which sucks in air underneath it quite fast. This air rushing in to follow the mushroom cloud is at a much lower pressure because it is moving fast, so the water in the air condenses into a cloud.
I’ve also noticed over the last 13 year’s I’ve been following his TH-cam content, he is particularly interested in shot “Baker” from Operation Crossroads, Operation Dominic, and this test in particular. Not sure why honestly. If I had the time and resources I would purchase films myself and start a project to restore them and upload them here.

George shot experiment is the first step to Ivy-Mike and i think for the scientists at time the positive result of this shot was amazing for future thermonuclear weapons design. George Shot of Operation Greenhouse 1956 =================================== The George explosion was the world's first thermonuclear burn, though it was just a test design, unsuitable for weaponization. Shaped like a torus, the George device had a small amount of heavy isotopes of liquid hydrogen (deuterium and tritium) placed at its center. The vast majority of its yield derived from fission. The energy output from the thermonuclear fusion in this test was insignificant in comparison. The "George" device was more like a "boosted" nuclear bomb than a thermonuclear one. The small amount of heavy deuterium and tritium in this test fused, but its role was to generate a strong flurry of fast neutrons - ones that sparked more fissions in the uranium nuclei that were present, and which also caused fission in uranium-238 - which does not fission under bombardment with slow neutrons, as does uranium-235. Thanks to WikiPedia
Not entirely misleading. Operation Greenhouse was the world’s first series of nuclear tests involving thermonuclear reactions. They were testing fusion boosting in regular fission designs. Except this test in particular, shot “George”, was an entirely experimental design and not intended for a weapon. Yield was 225 kilotons making it the world’s largest nuclear explosion at that time until Ivy Mike beat it a year later.
It was a toroidal shaped or “cylinder” shaped device that was entirely experimental and therefore not feasible for a weapon design. It utilized fusion fuel to be heated and compressed by the fission reaction making it a fusion boosted fission device.
because the sound would just be the aeroplane...maybe you'd get a bang noise but it would not be in time with the light explosion anyway because they never are in real life.
They weren’t interested in recording what the sound was like. Most cameras back then that could record sound did so with a completely separate tape recorded microphone that was edited over the footage later on in production. Even still for a test like this, being filmed high up in the air on a loud aircraft, you really wouldn’t have heard anything other than the wind whizzing by and sounds of the engines roaring.
Yes, unedited footage! I love documentaries like Trinity and Beyond, but the test shots are cut up six ways to Sunday.
