HOW FAT MAN WORKS ? | Nuclear Bomb ON Nagasaki | WORLD'S BIGGEST NUCLEAR BOMB | Learn from the base.

Learned more chemistry, history, and geography in six mins than a whole year of 9th grade

As a fat man i can confirm this is how we work

This video is both really well detailed and half assed at the same time

Hi, sorry but it is important: minute 4:10 to 4:20, the Plutonium does NOT divide into two Plutoniums ; it divides into subelements and liberates neutrons

Fun fact: If Japan hadn’t surrendered after Fat Man, then there was a third nuke planned, that would have the exact same design as Fat Man, but with a radioactive core made of an alloy of Plutonium and Gallium. The nuke was never given a name, but the core was. It was called the Demon Core.

Build an arena where the higher authorities can fight with each other. The civilians have nothing to do with it.

Back in the 80s, i had several conversations w/ a scientist who developed the triggering mechanism on the Fat Man device. How he got selected to the Manhattan project (yes, govt G men came to his house) and the assembly of the bomb on Tinian inland.

I liked how they ended it right after the "gene mutation" part. We all knew where that was going 💀

Easily the most terrifying invention of all time. How the world hasn’t seen another one used is actually a miracle.

I forgot Nagasaki was targeted because of cloud cover. Such a weird part of history to think about. How lucky the people at the original target was and how unlucky Nagasaki was. That’s a hell,of a thing to think about. A cloudy day changed the fates of these two cities.

People of Kokura be thankful it was cloudy that day ngl

Fatman is incredibly advanced for it's day while Little Boy is downright Orky. They used Coridite, the same gunpowder used in the Colt Peacemaker .45 revolver invented in 1860 to cause a criticality event.

Gotta make this in the sciences fair this will blow thier mind.

My grandma was in Nagasaki when the atomic bomb was dropped. She was like 13 years old. She escaped to the river where there’s a famous bridge called Meganebashi. She saw the flash from the bomb. After the bomb, she met my grand father and married. They moved to Yokohama and survived in poor with their children. She died of cancer caused by radioactivity when she was 52 years old. I’ve never met her. But if the bomb was not dropped, maybe I wasn’t existed. My life is neither happy nor unhappy. They comes alternately. Unhappiness turns into happiness and tells me something important. Watch and learn things deeply so you won’t blame anything and will know nothing can hurt you. Thanks for sharing this video.

It's insame that humans actually came up with this

Thanks for informing me on how these things work. I need this to build one of these for a project.

The blast was so powerful it left shadows of ash of people on walls and streets. That’s probably the most terrifying part for me. Imagine walking through a blast zone and seeing “shadows” of people of were they used to be.

It's incredible what humans are capable of doing
