Thread: In depth analysis of Reid vs Angle debate

Just FYI

A fission or A bomb gets its energy from splitting atoms

A fusion bomb gets its energy from fusing one atom into another , like the sun makes hydrogen atoms into helium ,

Yeah, I wasn't clear about that in my post. I didn't mean recycling it at Yucca Mountain, I meant recycling it however France does.

Nevada test site was used for A bombs , fission style bombs

An H bomb is a fusion style bomb , they were tested in the Bakini atoll in the Pacific , They are infinity more powerful then the a bombs tested in Nevada

A fission bomb is rated in Kilotons or thousands of tons of TNT
A fusion style bomb is rated in megatons of millions of tons of TNT

Most fusion style thermonuke devices use fision a bombs as triggers

Probably more info then you wanted to know, sorry

Whoops sorry mixed it up. A is atomic...H is what hydrogen...fission and fusion is the rating....or the size?

Not too much information. I remember a politician one time saying we should get our power from fussion I think and I didn't know what she meant by that is that the recycling they are talking about?

Here is a really good link about the test site in Nevada if anyone is interested

Whatever happened to the Neutron Bomb? That thing was SCARY.

No, nuclear fusion is not the recycling they are talking about. It's actually called "reprocessing," not recycling.

Actually fusion produces more energy , it is what powers the sun
The problem with it is that it takes the heat and pressure of the suns interior to ignite a fission process, We can do it but on a very small scale right now.

The ideal energy source is anti matter-matter interactions , it is the only thing that coverts 100% of matter into energy , We can do this also because our big cyclotrons (atom smashers) actually can and do produce anti-protons , The problem is we just can't create enough of them yet. They are used to collide with matter protons to see what comes out of the bang
All on a very very small scale.

In the grand scheme of things following proven Einstein theory , the whole universe and everything you see in it is nothing but frozen energy
