Did the explosion of the Hindenburg lead to the creation of the hydrogen bomb?

no!!!!!
the Hindenburg did not explode. its aluminum painted skin caught fire from an electrostatic discharge. that fire ignited ordinary chemical hydrogen/oxygen fires as the lift gas bladders breached.
no nuclear fusion was involved. not even a chemical explosion occurred.

Hydrogen bomb compared with atomic bomb?
A hydrogen or fusion bomb will be ten times more powerful than the original fission atomic bomb.
What is the molecular formula of a hydrogen bomb?
There is no such thing. The hydrogen bomb is a very complicated mechanism, not a chemical!
Why is it so dangerous to split an atom?
It is because alpha particles are so small, if you shoot them with an f-87g nine part 6 bomb, they blow up and release dangerous gamma destruction rays.
Who invented the nitrogen bomb?
no such thing. maybe you meant hydrogen bomb.
How powerful is a hydrogen bomb?
A hydrogen bomb is approximately 4.87 times more powerful than an atom bomb. What makes these bombs so powerful is that hydrogen is an extremely inflammable and explosive gas. When the bomb is released, the special coating used on its shell captures tons of friction, which heats the bomb. Then the detonator button is pressed, and the bomb blows up. Also, if the bomb comes in contact with the ground, before the button is pressed, then the heat absorbed by the bomb will set fire to the hydrogen inside and blow the bomb up.
What can cause changes in an ecosystem?
The explosion of a hydrogen bomb.
Why is a hydrogen bomb more devestating than an atomic bomb?
More powerful explosion.
Where was the worlds worst nuclear explosion?
I'm not sure but the strongest bomb is the hydrogen bomb
What is the biggest know explosion in history?
The biggest explosion in history was the detonation of the Hydrogen bomb in the Bikini Atoll in the 1950s.
Where did the first explosion of the hydrogen bomb happen?
eugelab island, eniwetok atoll
What is more stronger a comet explosion or a nuke explosion?
a comet explosion is more stronger and bigger than a nuke explosion and atomic bomb but not a hydrogen if you want something to be mor bigger than a hydrogen explosion call in a asteroid that's bigger than a hydrogen explosion and some meteors. ps I am the maker of the awnsers web site
What is the name of a artificial atomic element discovered after the first hydrogen bomb explosion in 1953?
Plutonium
What is the difference between the hydrogen bomb and the nuclear bomb?
"Nucear bomb" is very broad term, and encompases all bombs or weapons which utilize the explosive potential of specific elements, either by fusion or fission.The classic "nuclear bombs" use uranium or plutonium in a fission reaction to produce an explosion, where as a hydrogen bomb uses hydrogen, or specific isotopes of it (deuterium or tritium, either together or with another light-weight element) to produce a similar explosion (though usually larger in size), by mean of nuclear fusion.So technicaly, a hydrogen bomb is a type of nuclear bomb.
Why is the sun a star and the Earth is not?
Because the Sun is a million miles of hydrogen bomb explosion, while the Earth is just a 8,000 mile-wide rock. It's the "hydrogen bomb explosions" part that makes it a star.
What are the products of nuclear fusion in a hydrogen bomb?
The nuclear fusion uses Hydrogen to produce Helium. The fusion also releases a lot of energy, which is what causes the explosion.
Briefly explain how a hydrogen bomb works and how its differs from an atom bomb?
A Hydrogen bomb uses heavy Hydrogen or Deuterium to create a fusion chain reaction. Before that can happen however there needs to be a smaller fission explosion (atomic bomb). The radiation from this trigger explosion is directed into a hollow chamber like a bucket pointed at the atomic bomb, which contains Deuterium. Often there is a rod of Plutonium running the length of the bucket at the centre. This is designed to amplify the chain reaction and spark fusion releasing much greater quantity of energy.OK, you asked for briefly.atomic bomb at one end of hydrogen bomb casing detonates.x-rays from atomic bomb implode hydrogen bomb, heating & raising pressure in it.when at high enough temperature & pressure, hydrogen bomb explodes.An atomic bomb is just the atomic bomb mentioned at the beginning of step 1.A full description of all the events in a typical fission-fusion-fission hydrogen bomb consists of almost 2 dozen steps. A full description of the events in a typical fission atomic bomb is less than 6 steps.
How is energy produced in sun core?
By thermonuclear fusion of hydrogen, producing helium. The same process that produces the energy in a hydrogen bomb (although the sun fuses far more hydrogen in the same period of time than the largest hydrogen bomb ever speculated would fuse during its entire explosion, thus producing more energy than such a bomb).
