Tesla said that humanity, starting in 1908, has had the technology to build death rays (the quick transfer of electromagnetic energy from 1 spot to another at the speed of light). Only the richest and most technologically advanced countries could do it though he also said. He was the second smartest man in the world at that time (first being Albert Einstein). So if we humans could build something like that in 1908, don't you think the United States 100 years later can possibly have something like that right now? I can see though why they would want to keep it a secret.

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 the hydrogen bomb is more destructive than the atom bomb and why?

Yes, the hydrogen bomb is more destructive than the atom bomb. This is because it relies on nuclear fusion, which releases much more energy than nuclear fission, the process used in atomic bombs. The sheer power of the hydrogen bomb makes it capable of causing significantly greater devastation.


What was the main purpose of the hydrogen bomb?

The main purpose of the hydrogen bomb was to create a much more powerful and destructive nuclear weapon than the atomic bomb. It was designed to release energy from nuclear fusion reactions, which is many times greater than that of nuclear fission reactions used in atomic bombs.


Did hydrogen bombs get dropped on Hiroshima?

No, hydrogen bombs were not dropped on Hiroshima. The atomic bomb "Little Boy" was dropped on Hiroshima by the United States on August 6, 1945, during World War II. Hydrogen bombs are a more powerful type of nuclear weapon that was developed later.


Which is more damaging Atom bomb or megaton bomb?

A megaton bomb is more damaging than an atomic bomb because it has a much higher explosive yield. A megaton bomb releases energy equivalent to the detonation of one million tons of TNT, while an atomic bomb typically releases energy equivalent to the detonation of thousands of tons of TNT.

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.


Is there any bomb powerful than hydrogen bomb?

A bigger hydrogen bomb. The staged Teller-Ulam design has no practical or theoretical yield limit.


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.


Why is a hydrogen bomb more devestating than an atomic bomb?

More powerful explosion.


What is the most powerful bomb in minecraft?

TNT without mods. With mods, the hydrogen bomb.


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.


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.


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

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


Why did Edward Teller make the hydrogen bomb?

He created it to be more powerful than the atomic, and fission bomb.


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.
