Particle accelerators such as the Cockroft-Walton and later cyclotrons were used to use high powere electric currents to get up the sufficient particle speed. a moderate type of cyclotron , essentially a super-modified transformer could rev up the currents to, say, l5 Million electron Volts or MEV. Modern ones are far more powerful!

What is nuclear fission and its relationship to nuclear bomb?

Simply put, nuclear fission is the splitting of an atomic nucleus. It relates to radioactivity in that some isotopes of some elements (and not very many) naturally decay by spontaneous fission. There is a separate question about what spontaneous fission is, and it is linked below.


How does a nuclear reactor shoot neutrons?

In a nuclear reactor, the fission process splits heavy atomic nuclei, releasing energy and additional neutrons. These neutrons can then collide with other nuclei, causing them to split and release more neutrons, creating a self-sustaining chain reaction. Controlling the number of neutrons and their interactions is crucial to the operation and safety of a nuclear reactor.


Does fusion reaction occur in an atomic bomb?

Yes, fusion reactions occur in a hydrogen bomb, which is a type of nuclear bomb. The high temperatures and pressures generated by the fission reaction in the bomb can trigger fusion reactions between hydrogen isotopes. This fusion reaction releases a large amount of energy, contributing to the destructive power of the bomb.

Can the sun shoot lasers?

No, the sun does not shoot lasers. It emits energy in the form of sunlight through a process called nuclear fusion, where hydrogen atoms in its core fuse to form helium. Laser beams are man-made devices that use stimulated emission of radiation to produce a highly focused beam of light.

Why is the ICBM better than nuclear-armed bomber planes?

Because it is harder to shoot down.


Who discovered nuclear fission?

Let's take a little trip through the history of science and bring things current. It was Ernest Rutherford who first split the atom in 1917 by bombarding nitrogen with alpha particles, and he and his team continue to investigate. John Cockcroft and Ernest Walton, Rutherford's students, applied a different twist in 1932, and they used a particle accelerator (the Cockcroft-Walton accelerator) to shoot protons at lithium nuclei. James Chadwick discovered the neutron at this time, and Enric Fermi and associates in Roma experimented with bombarding uranium with neutrons in 1934. And it was Ida Noddack who, in 1934, first proposed the idea of atomic or nuclear fission. From there, the number of investigators grows and the trails branch. Many of these early investigations were looked at under the science of chemistry, and physics was in the process of wrestling them away and making them its own. Use the link below to review the history of nuclear fission. It's chockablock with the names of giants in the history of the new physics.


How many round of shooting do you do on wild west island?

Only once each, during the Train Robbery and during the Hideout shoot-out. You will need to shoot between 10 and 12 bandits during the Train Robbery, as it varies according to when you shoot them as they ride forward (to the right).

Your joking right? Even if in our wildest dreams they had one they wouldn't even know what to do with it other then shoot at it.
