Oh that's why when Vsauce talk about hiroshima he said that most of the fissible material was blown away and only 1% or something reacted. It's because it was not dense enough, pressurized by compressing explosions on all side to contain the fissible material. I get it now.

I feel greatly enriched after watching this. Great breakdown
@savagemuir9360
Fantastic video! Also the tamper is forced inwards by the compression explosion, so it provides more compressive kinetic energy to keep the core together for a bit longer.

Nice simulations, but why did you use graphite for the neutron reflector? Graphite is a great neutron moderator, but that is the last thing you want to do to neutrons in a bomb. Little boy used tungsten carbide and the Gadget used depleted uranium. FYI, I have all the calculations solving the neutron diffusion equation to determine the critical mass on my channel.

Welcome to the watchlist, everyone!

2:51 On the contrary, it would be great for bowling.
@zapphysics
Absolutely phenomenal video!! Great to see you back!
@anantakabir8390
Comes back with an absolutely amazing video. Love your content
@malithaw
Love your video style
@fabianquevedo2707
3 years waiting for the return!
@enekuda05
Man such an under-subscribed channel! Amazing videos!!
@JikhC-t1u
Great video and loved the visualization of how fission occurs and also the explanation of rods.
@chupacabraattack
Now I understand how control rods work!
@VojtaTravnik-cj2xo
thanks helped me a lot,now i know why it didnt work as expected

Small gripe: fission of U-235 doesn’t always release 3 neutrons. It’s 2 or 3 neutrons, averaging ~2.4 neutrons every fission. (I wanna say it’s 2.41 neutrons, but it’s been a long time since I’ve dealt with fission).
@ckarloshenryck6392
glad to have u back!!
@Tsarbloonba
I love the lil reference to chernobyl
@ramadhanisme7
Thank you for your video, really enlightened me about nuclear
@jarek.fojtik
Hello, please make a video about H-bomb. Great job!
