Best Answer

You just need hydrochloric acid. "The Works" bomb contains HCL, and when you add aluminum to it, hydrogen gas is released which causes the bomb. If you have hydrochloric acid on hand, you can dilute it to about 16 percent and use it in place of the works bomb.

But be careful, as the explosion can send send pieces of the bottle and acid spewing everywhere. And the explosion sound is like a gunshot.

Why is the hydrogen bomb dependent on the atomic bomb?

A hydrogen bomb is a fusion nuclear weapon, and the "regular" atomic bomb is a fission one. Both are an example of an "atomic bomb" in the general sense. But we know what you're asking, and here's the answer. In a fission weapon, subcritical masses of fissile material (usually plutonium) are driven together with conventional explosives to cause criticality, supercriticality and the blast. In a hydrogen bomb, the only way to get things hot enough for fusion to begin to occur is by virtue of the heat generated by a fission weapon. A fission blast will, if things are set up correctly, set off a fusion blast. Big, big, bigboom! That's the long and short of it. To build a hydrogen (fusion) weapon, you have to build a fission bomb "around" or "up against" components to cause fusion to occur in the heat of the fission reaction when that fission bomb goes off. Our sun is a gigantic fusion machine. It is similar to a hydrogen bomb in that both fuse hydrogen into helium. On the sun, it happens all the time in a continuous event. Here on earth, it's a one-shot affair and a massive boom!


Is it legal to build a bomb?

Colored smoke bombs use a mixture of an oxidizer, a fuel, a moderant to keep the reaction from getting too hot, and a powdered organic dye. When the mixture is burned, the dye evaporates and is forced out of the device, where it condenses in the atmosphere to form a cloud of fine particles, the smoke.


Did J Robert Oppenheimer like his own invention?

Don't know if he liked the bomb he helped build but he wasn't its inventor, Leo Szilard was he had patented it in Britain in 1934 as patent #630,726.


What is stronger between the atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb?

In general, a fusion bomb (hydrogen bomb) is more powerful than a fission (atomic) bomb. Fusion bombs use an atomic bomb to begin the fusion reaction.
