What is the most powerful fusion weapon?

The most powerful fusion weapon developed so far is the hydrogen bomb, also known as a thermonuclear bomb. It combines nuclear fission and fusion reactions to release an immense amount of energy, thousands of times more powerful than atomic bombs.


Is the nuclear bomb more powerful than the hydrogen bomb?

Nuclear bomb can mean either fission or fusion bomb. Hydrogen bomb means fusion bomb. The fusion bomb can be built with any yield one wants, just by adding more stages with more fuel. The fission bomb has a theoretical maximum yield that cannot be exceeded.


How is a fission bomb different from a fusion bomb?

A fission bomb relies on nuclear fission (splitting atoms) to release energy, while a fusion bomb relies on nuclear fusion (merging atoms) to release energy. Fusion bombs are more powerful than fission bombs and are often referred to as thermonuclear or hydrogen bombs.


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.


Is a hydrogen bomb the most powerful?

With a fission bomb (A-bomb) there is a limit of how large it can be. With a fusion bomb (H-bomb), there is NO limit to how large one can be. There may be a limit as to the size of a DELIVERABLE fusion bomb. But an H-bomb that isn't intended to be moved anywhere doesn't have a yield (size/power) limit. So yes, an H bomb is the most powerful weapon that mankind has create, to date. An antimatter bomb could be more powerful, but mankind has yet been able to collect, handle, store antimatter in sufficient amounts as to create a powerful weapon.


What bomb is more powerful then the atomic bomb?

The most powerful weapon currently being produced is the version of the "atomic bomb" that includes further stages. The thermonuclear fusion bomb (H-bomb, hydrogen bomb) can be made much more powerful by adding additional stages to it (more fission, more fusion). The most powerful potential explosive would be an annihilation weapon, combining anti-matter with matter. However, producing the necessary materials (anti-protons) is not feasible using existing technology.


Hydrogen bomb compared with atomic bomb?

A hydrogen bomb, also known as a thermonuclear bomb, is more powerful than an atomic bomb. It relies on nuclear fusion, where atoms are combined, to release immense amounts of energy. In comparison, an atomic bomb uses nuclear fission, where atoms are split, to generate explosive energy.


Is the atom bomb and the hydrogen bomb the same thing?

No. Atomic bombs use fission, hydrogen bombs use fusion (and are more powerful)


What bomb is more powerful than the atomic bomb?

The hydrogen bomb, thought to be 10 times the power of the atom bomb. Well, the atmoic bomb doesn't utilize fusion and therefore is not as powerful as the gay bomb.BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH


Is a fission bomb or a fusion bomb more powerful?

That depends on the design. Traditionally fusion bombs have been more powerful than fission bombs, mostly because fusion yield has no limit (just add more stages) and fission is limited to around 1 megaton yield. However it is definitely possible to build small very low yield fusion bombs with yields far below traditional fission bomb yields, especially if your goal is to make "clean" low fallout tactical weapons (or potentially peaceful nuclear construction explosives - as was the goal of project Plowshare).


What is the difference between a hydrogen bomb and an Uranium bomb and which one is more powerful?

Hydrogen bomb gets some of its energy from fusion, uranium or plutonium bomb gets all of it from fission. Either can be more powerful, depending on the design. The most powerful bombs built have all been hydrogen bombs.


Which is most powerful a nuke an atomic bomb or a hydrogen bomb?

An H-Bomb is 1000 times stronger than an atomic bomb. Atomic explosions are based on splitting atoms and is a fission explosion or fission bomb. The Hydrogen bomb (also called H-Bomb) is a Fusion reaction where atoms are forced together. Atomic bombs were used in World War II, Hydrogen bombs have been tested, but not used in war.
