The Dam Busters were a special designed British bomber that dropped a large bomb shaped like a drum (or barrel). The bomber would fly low over the lake and drop the bomb. The bomb would spin up very fast so that when it hit the water it bounced several times across the water. The purpose of this was so the bomb would skip up to the Dam and then sink to the bottom of the dam's wall. Then when it exploded, the force would rupture the dam.

How does a bunker buster bomb work?
The bunker buster bomb is a very large bomb that either blows up the bunker by exploding directly on top of it (if the bunker is at ground level), Or if the bunker is a few feet below ground, the bomb will go through the dirt and explode in the general area of the bunker and destroy it. The bunker bombs of today, that are dropped by the F-15E Eagle, are much more powerful than the bunker buster bombs that were dropped in WWII by the English Avro Lancaster bomber.

How did the bouncing bomb work?
The "bouncing bombs" were designed to skip across the surface of a body of water, specifically behind a dam, and nestle close to the dam wall as it sank and exploded. The underwater pressure wave caused by such an explosion was found to be an effective way to partially or completely destroy a dam. The bombs were dropped by heavy bombers, primarily the British Lancaster. The bombs would be spun up to high speed by a motor, then dropped from extremely low altitude (under 80 feet/25 meters). The shallow angle and backspin would cause the bomb to bounce or skip across the water to the dam, then rebound into the dam as it sank. When it reached a pre-arranged depth, a pressure switch or wet switch would detonate the explosives. The main version of these, the "Upkeep" bombs, were designed by Barnes Wallis, a British engineer, and used against German dams in 1943. They contained up to 6,600 pounds (2,994 kg) of Torpex explosives.
