Guys this is a re-upload. After nearly 2 years and 2 million views KZread's algorithm decided that showing a hand igniting a pile of gunpower was displaying a dangerous act, like making an explosive, and so they killed the video. I tried to appeal it but a human agreed with the AI. I hate uploading old stuff but this was some of my most popular work, so I didn't want to waste it. My apologies if you lost a comment or an interesting thread but there was literally nothing I could do about it. Rest assured I'm working on some new content at the moment!

Yeah Styropyro was on a panel recently where they mentioned how ridiculous that is, like making a laser that could literally fry your eyes out or a gas that's deadly with a single breath is fine, but fire and explosives are instantly nuked off the site, no pun intended. I was missing this video as it's one of my favourites, thank you for the re-up!

Whenever something is removed your safe in assuming it was youtube policy. Free speech and thought is consistently under attack. There is a case currently in the Supreme court regarding gov't (biden's) censorship on social media. I have conflicting notions. On one hand free speech should be protected as the highest priority under a liberal democracy. On the other hand people are stupid and misinformation abounds. There is one primary and unassailable issue with the gov't censorship side. The gov't are only people, too. People shouldn't be able to control what other people say and think. That is the definition of authoritarianism. Classic liberalism is consistently under attack as well. Even by people who call themselves 'liberals'. Which makes zero sense. Changing and shifting the definition of words is a slick, underhanded, and covert way of confusing and programming a populace. The revolution having previously failed on its own merits uses covert, underhanded, and insidious means of furthering its goals. Demoralized and radicalized, you shall be.

17:44 I was told any nuclear program NEEDS constant maintainence and refurbishment but no one ever answered WHY. You are my hero.

Additionally tritium has around a decade of half-life, much like night sights lose brightness over the years, you lose the tritium in a thermonuclear device. Normal corrosion itself also affects the core. Plutonium is a metal and it oxidizes.

This video could be the basis of a graduate level course on the topic.

No it doesn't, and the previously shown chemical equation itself shows that it doesn't, and any kid who ever made black powder knows that it doesn't. This is the sort of video I give up on, and it's a pity. With the increase of TTS robot narrators and AI-gathering of stills, video-clips, and text-generation, it's refreshing to hear actual people.

I'll tell you why, because he produced this excellent documentary independent of the big players and on his own dime. The 'system' doesn't reward people that play outside of it.

The thing about a fizzle is that it can still be devastating. If the expected yield was 500 kt but it only achieved 80 kt that's still more than enough to devastate a good sized portion of a major city. If say the target was an airbase just outside city limits that city is gonna have a bad day regardless. Fizzles matter from a military pov but from a societal pov any nuke that goes above 1 kt in heavily populated areas and above 100 kts in sparsely populated ones is gonna leave a large bodycount. If your goal in a nuke war is societal destruction fizzles aren't that big of a problem.

There's a huge difference between "everyone in the city is dead within a week" and "half the city will die within a year or two, but thousands will die much sooner." There's also the idea that you could have made three (or more) times as many weapons with the same material instead of overbuilding a design that will likely fizzle, why destroy one city when you could instead destroy three, or destroy one and still hold the threat of destroying two more. Yes, a fizzle is still a nuclear explosion which is bad, but it's also enormously wasteful even compared to efficient nuclear weapons.

Hey it's back! My favorite video of yours.

Thank you so much for the re-upload. This video is one of my favorites, and I had been missing re-watching it. Keep up the great work!

I’m so happy this is back. By far my favorite video you’ve ever made and the one that got me into your content. Incredibly well made and deserving of all the views it had

This channel's lack of subscribers is bordering on criminal, in my opinion. Excellent work, watched it again!

Excellent presentation. My father attended the A-bomb tests in Operation Crossroads in 1946. The Able test, an air burst, resulted in little radioactive contamination of the test vessels in the lagoon. The underwater Baker test constrained fission products in water droplets that fell back into the lagoon, resulting in far more contamination of the test vessels and the waters of the lagoon itself. Hulls and seawater systems of vessels that entered the lagoon following the test also became contaminated. This at a time when safety precautions and radiation monitoring procedures were not well established, and some servicemen entering the lagoon following Baker were quite unaware of the risks.

Thanks for re-uploading this, I thought it was gone for good.

Dude thank you for re-uploading this! I've been wishing I could rewatch it for months and months now, and had no idea why it disappeared from your channel!

Thank you for reuploading this! This is the finest documentary made on the topic of nuclear weapons I have ever seen in my entire life. Densely packed with highly researched information and yet still explaining in layman's terms. This video is the gold standard that all others should be judged against.

This is great, you had me hooked with the title and the length of the video. Thank you for going in depth. Take care my dude

I have downloaded this video and will Inshallah download the other videos later as well. You make excellent, excellent EXCELLENT content. No one has managed to deliver on topics with such professionalism and ease. It is a shame why certain videos get taken down.

Welcome back, I've watched a few other good guides as well, its taking a while to really understand.

A bomb like Little Boy seems quite simple to make - for a good mechanical engineer who has enough of the U235 fissile material. Just as well it's so difficult to produce the U235, let alone the plutonium and shaped charges required for a Fat Man type bomb. A lot of reactors in places like the USA exist for more than just producing electricity. Many of them are dual use, because they also produce the plutonium for nukes, so when people pay their power bill, they are kind of helping produce the nukes. I understand why some countries have nuclear stuff. I like it that NZ does not though. There's nothing here that would go into nuclear meltdown from a tsunami or earthquake, plus there's nothing here somebody would waste a nuke on, unless they really hate the All Blacks, or LOTR and hobbits, etc. Strategic nukes in ICBM warheads are pre-programmed with a target set, so lots of places in the world constantly have very powerful thermonuclear warheads aimed at them, e.g., airbases, navy bases, army bases, munitions stores, power stations, command bunkers, comms, etc. I am from NZ, but grew up in England during the Cold War. We were close to a base that hosted lots of US tactical nuclear bombers. We knew it would be nuked within about 15 minutes of the war kicking off. We talked at school about what yield of nuke would put us in blast range etc. We all had our ideas where we would take cover. Moving back to NZ when I was 15 felt so much safer. It literally felt safer, i.e., not having that nuclear threat hanging over us 24/7. More relaxed or something. P.S. The Americans have still not properly cleaned up their atomic mess at the Pacific proving grounds. There is a big concrete dome with nuclear waste buried under it there that's leaking into the ocean, plus many of the atolls are still too irradiated to inhabit. They have a big enough economy to [maybe] afford to have a $34 trillion national debt, so I do not see why after around six decades they still can not scrape together enough coin to clean up their mess. I guess they consider the radioactive waste to be swept under the carpet far enough from the USA to be out of sight and out of mind. Maybe the Marshall islanders are not enough of a concern to Uncle Sam.

I am particularly fond of your previous dissections of the atomic theory, which I find highly engaging and informative. I strongly appreciate your voice; that Aussie narration in the video creates a sort of exotic intimacy, which adds to my enjoyment of the content. Additionally, I am grateful for your videos on the Pacific military operations, which were fascinating. I think your style is outstanding with the quality of the videos, and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to watch them for free. Thank you for making these videos while naturally making the very most informative pieces about these amazing underlying subjects.

16:50 *technically* they dont have the same mass. Since energy has been emitted during the decay (in the form of an energetic electron), there has been a loss of mass, even more than just the weight of the electron. The respective masses of U,Np,Pu 239 (in Da) are respectively: 239.0542920 239.0529390 239.0521634 The difference is almost 4 times that of an electron! And entirely unnoticeable in an element that weights more than 400 million electrons
