Worlds Biggest Bomb: Tsar Bomba. Part 3 of 3

Tsar Bomba (Russian: Царь-бомба; "Emperor Bomb") is the nickname for the AN602 hydrogen bomb, the most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated. It's October 30, 1961 test remains the most powerful artificial explosion in human history. It was also referred to as Kuz'kina Mat' (Russian: Кузькина мать, Kuzka's mother), potentially referring to Nikita Khrushchev's promise to show the United States a "Kuz'kina Mat'" at the 1960 United Nations General Assembly. The famous Russian idiom, which has been problematic for translators, equates roughly with the English "We'll show you!" Developed by the Soviet Union, the bomb was originally designed to have a yield of about 100 megatons of TNT (420 PJ), but the yield was reduced to 57 megatons to reduce nuclear fallout (and also to prevent the blast from destroying the drop aircraft). This attempt was successful, as it was one of the cleanest (relative to it's yield) nuclear bombs ever detonated. Only one bomb of this type was ever built and it was tested on October 30, 1961, in the Novaya Zemlya archipelago, at Sukhoy Nos.

1. Music that starts at around 8:05 ? what is it ????
2. 100 megaton Tsar Bomb is pretty op
3. who gives a crap the human race is doomed.we are a biological accident the universe does not need crawling maggots like mankind around good riddance!
4. the limitation of Tzar Bomb power wasn't about the potential fallout, Saharov actually thought that 100 Mt bomb will start a thermonuclear reaction with the particles in the atmosphere and turn Earth into a miniature Sun :)
5. song at 12:35?
6. Russia was always over powered
7. If this persons knew from the first Hydrogen Bomb they detonate that this things released all this Huge amount of radiation and destruction and would do nothing but contaminate this Planet, then why the Hell they keep doing this with a more powerful Bomb each time ?
8. There is a 0 percent chance that Bikini Island was accidental.  It was an excuse to test the radiation affects on human and have plausible deniability as to its true intent.  they knew full well what was going to happen with so much 7, otherwise it would never have been there in the first place.   They pretending it was a buffer or what?
9. BTW, the bomb was at about ~40% of its full power.
   
   Fission material (depleted uranium) was replaced to lead to avoid massive fallout.
   So it also was most "clean" nuclear weapon tested by Man (comparing to power) - more 98% of its power was fusion, not fission.
   
   With uranium it should give ~120Mt with same 27t of weight.
10. Self-detructive nature of man
11. Can't even imagine destructions which can be done by Castle Bravo 15 MT - God that was ''only'' 15 MT and looks so terrifying. Like the hell on earth. So what 50 MT could done ? I think Tsar bomb could destroy so huge cities like New York, London or Paris to the ground. Totally.
12. How about Israel ? They deserve it more than the arabs
13. Yes, they had. If they could build a 35 Mt device that had a weight of 3.7 tonnes, then they surely could build a 50 Mt one that was under tonnes. A bomb or warhead contains many other components than just the fission/fusion material and those can be made smaller and lighter. After all, the B41 was heavier than the W53 warhead that was placed on Titan II by not even a tonne, but it had a yield almost 3 times as big. So what makes you think they couldn't have done the same with the B41?
14. well, to be quite honest, the americans didn't have the technology to make a bomb with the same yield with a weight under 10 tons, because it would be nearly impossible. There is no such thing, as technology to make a fusion (and fission) reaction turn more explosive. it all depends on on much material you put into the bomb. So actually, the only way to make a more efficient bomb, would be by using antimatter.
15. Bust my suspenders... that thar was just like the 4th of July.
16. Back there dropping those bombs only proof they were UBER retarded! Is a true miracle we're alive yet.
17. Yup this site is just giving out 100% free Black Apple new iPad's for today only. You do have to be fill out your email id but it is all real, I claimed my one a few minutes ago. Better hurry up! UPAD3.COM This is the courtesy of Deep Heaven: that when you mean well, He always takes you to have meant better than you knew. It will not be enough for always. He is very jealous
18. On the contrary, you desperate moron... It's not at all just about that bomb, this "documentary" is littered with political themes, in specially in the way it presents the American nuclear tests in a very grim light and it presents the russian tests as they were some heroic thing... This 'documentary" is nothing more than a piece o shit left propaganda. I mean those who made it had their noses so far up the russians' ass that it got out on the other side... Pathetic traitors.
19. If you can't even understand what that has to do with the piece of shit communists (like you), then you really are a retarded fuck... No, stupid, you're the one who sucks russian communist dick...
20. Just because the narrator was British doesn't mean it was made by British, you stupid shit... And even if it was, the British have their communists too, in fact most of Western Europe leaned towards left extremism even since the end of WW2 and they had their own anti-Americans.
