Edward Teller is known as the "father of the hydrogen bomb" but is usually credited jointly with Polish-American physicist Stanislaw Ulam. Many scientists over the years had proposed designs, but Stanislaw Ulam came up with the key ideas of "radiation implosion and staging" and together they worked out how to use them in a practical fusion bomb. Prior to those ideas, none of Teller's ideas on building it were practical or fully implementable.
A variation of the technique was developed by John Von Neumann and Klaus Fuchs, who proposed implosion techniques in a secret patent in 1946.
A report proposed the eventual design of the H-bomb, or thermonuclear weapon, in 1951, and a large-scale device was tested in 1952. The first practical H-bomb was built and tested in 1954.
What else can I help you with?
Why did Edward Teller make the hydrogen bomb?
He created it to be more powerful than the atomic, and fission bomb.
Is there any bomb powerful than hydrogen bomb?
A bigger hydrogen bomb. The staged Teller-Ulam design has no practical or theoretical yield limit.
Who invented hydrogen bomb?
There are a few who claim the idea, but president Harry Truman first approved one to be built for the Korean war, 1950-1953. Richard Lawrence Garwin, American physicist, produced a design in 1952 at IBM Watson Laboratory at Columbia University.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The original ideas for the hydrogen bomb came up early in the Manhattan Project, but it is unknown who first proposed them.Edward Teller became fixated on the idea of the hydrogen bomb and the only way that Oppenheimer could get Teller to continue doing any work on the atomic bomb and stop taking other scientists away from their critical atomic bomb tasks to work on Teller's hydrogen bomb ideas was to just let him work on his hydrogen bomb ideas and just contact Teller as needed to consult on the atomic bomb work.Edward Teller completed his first hydrogen bomb design, which he called "The Super" in the fall of 1945. This design was tested by numerical simulation on the newly completed ENIAC in december 1945 through january 1946, and shown to be not workable. Further work on hydrogen bomb designs was effectively suspended (although Edward Teller was allowed to continue "dabbling" at designing one).In 1950 Stanislaw Ulam (a mathematician working with a team on producing higher yield more efficient atomic bombs) went to consult with Teller on an idea his team had proposed to use the explosion of one atomic bomb to compress and trigger a second atomic bomb. Teller suddenly realized this was the idea he needed to make his "Super" bombs work: use an atomic bomb not just to heat his hydrogen bomb (as he had done in all earlier designs) but to compress his hydrogen bomb too. Computer numerical simulations confirmed this would work. Serious design work on hydrogen bombs resumed at Los Alamos.The first hydrogen bomb using the new "Teller-Ulam" design was built and tested in 1952, but by then Teller was fed up with his working arrangements at Los Alamos and quit. He convinced the military and AEC that they needed a second nuclear weapons development lab that he would have absolute control over. Slightly later in 1952 Lawrence Livermore Labs opened with Edward Teller as director.
Who is the first inventor of H-Bomb?
Physicist Edward Teller is often called the "Father of the H-bomb", but he wasn't working alone.
Where did atomic bombs come from?
Edward Teller was determined to build it and invented many unsuccessful designs. Stan Ulam, working on improved atomic bomb designs, showed Teller the radiation implosion technique. Teller recognized this as the missing feature to make the hydrogen bomb work; resulting in the Teller-Ulam design. This was successfully tested in 1952, shot Ivy Mike at 10 megatons yield. Teller had already left Los Alamos a few months before the test to start Livermore Labs, so he was not involved.
