What else can I help you with?
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.
Which is more destructive a nuclear bomb or a hydrogen bomb?
A hydrogen bomb (thermonuclear bomb) is more destructive than a regular nuclear bomb (fission bomb). Hydrogen bombs release much larger amounts of energy and have the potential to create significantly more devastation and damage.
What is used as a trigger in a hydrogen bomb?
A traditional nuclear fission bomb is used as a trigger in a hydrogen bomb. The explosion from the fission bomb generates the high temperatures and pressures needed to initiate the fusion reaction in the hydrogen bomb.
What did Edward Teller invent?
he invented the hydrogen bomb. His name is a.k.a. " The Father Of The Hydrogen Bomb'
When was the first hydrogen bomb tested?
The first hydrogen bomb "Ivy Mike" was tested in 1952.
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 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 hydrogen bomb is the biggest bomb?
A hydrogen bomb (fusion bomb) can give unlimited yield because it is built in "stages". Just keep adding additional stages until you reach the yield you want.A fission bomb has a theoretical max yield of about 1MTon (500KTon is largest built and tested).Both kinds of bombs can be built with yields as low as 1KTon or less! Both kinds of bombs can be built with weights from under 100 pounds to several 10,000s of pounds.Read Richard Rhodes books: The Making Of The Atomic Bomband Dark Sun.
What is degree of destroy that hydrogen bomb can do?

What bomb was invented after the a-bomb?
The Hydrogen Bomb .
Which is more destructive a nuclear bomb or a hydrogen bomb?

What is an h-bomb?
hydrogen bomb
What was hydrogen bomb?
A bomb that splits a hydrogen atom, which literally explodes the air.
Who was using the hydrogen bomb?
the hydrogen bomb has never been used in war
What is the most giant hydrogen bomb?
The 50 Megaton "Tsar Bomba" hydrogen bomb tested by the USSR in 1961 is the strongest hydrogen bomb ever detonated. The 10 Megaton "Ivy Mike" hydrogen bomb tested by the U.S. in 1952 is the physically largest hydrogen bomb ever detonated.
What is used as a trigger in a hydrogen bomb?
A traditional nuclear fission bomb is used as a trigger in a hydrogen bomb. The explosion from the fission bomb generates the high temperatures and pressures needed to initiate the fusion reaction in the hydrogen bomb.
