    Around minute 38 a gentleman states that Plutonium is more energetic than uranium - well, actually, in the early weapons plutonium was easier to use efficiently in a bomb, and is still prefered by bomb makers, because for complex reason uranium is more prone to pre detonation, but uranium actually contains more energy in its fission chain than plutonium. Its not a huge difference - but if a breeder reactor could do a 100% burn on a uranium fuel load, it'll develop more energy than it would with a plutonium fuel load. Theres not a noticable difference with a light water reactor doing a 1 or 2% burn though, refueling is done for other reasons than how much energy remains in the fuel rods.

    If you made an airtight room about 20' by 20' and blew regular bread flour into it , then let off about 10lbs of C4 or even just 20lbs of tannerite , i'll bet you would get a bigger explosion than most bombs the air force has . The largest controlled blast comes from a dust explosion . It doesn't take much to get a huge blast . The flour takes up 100% of the space involved so the chain reaction of the particles goes off closer together to create a bigger one time explosion . The larger the space between the particles the smaller the blast .
    And it's awesome .

    The depiction of the guntype uranium bomb in this video is wrong. In reality a hollow cylinder of U235 is fired on a smaller cylinder to complete the critical mass. This is because the smaller part was surrounded by a neutron reflector to improve the reaction when the parts are combined. If the bigger uranium mass would be surrounded by the neutron reflector, there would be a greater possibility of predetonation.

    Actually, its definition of an explosion is overly narrow. Its definition applies to stereotypical explosions, a chemical explosion. There are also mechanical explosions, and one or two other types as well I think. Mechanical explosions basically involves stress being applied to an object, which suddenly releases that stress in a burst of energy (similar to a rubber band snapping).

    Something is missing from your definition of an explosion : the shock wave. This is what differentiates a pile of gunpowder burning quickly from a confined charge actually exploding.

    oh it's bad. "atomic bombs render the land on which they fall useless."
    That stands symptomatic for the rest of the documentary. Hiroshima is a city today with background levels of radiation. Seems like this was taken from the history channel.

    Would it be better to use the power of antimatter to produce electricity instead of a bomb to destroy humanity?

      Yes, unless it’s a chaotic genetic experiment gone wrong then we would need an antimatter bomb to deal with it, or an antimatter bomb to stop asteroids…

      LX-14 was first used in 1977. This book lists the detonation rate at 8800m/s. books.google.com/books?id=z25cCwAAQBAJ&pg=PA123&lpg=PA123&dq=lx-14+burn+rate&source=bl&ots=CwgJ7wBGYJ&sig=ACfU3U08yPYBNzf2mAgju4RRShvWUzd6Tg&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwik_JDagLrpAhWFneAKHfXkCW0Q6AEwBHoECAsQAQ#v=onepage&q=lx-14%20burn%20rate&f=false The following pages lists several explosives with higher detonation rates. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_explosive_detonation_velocities also en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNT_equivalent#Relative_effectiveness_factor

      They cancel each other out and cause each other to become pure energy, and that would create an explosion beyond nuclear weapons…

      First off, he’s in England so no OSHA; they are a US government agency. Second, that was similar to a flash bang. There isn’t enough heat in that quick flash to heat up the torch to the flash point of the butane.
