A realistic Teller-Ulam two stage thermonuclear bomb design. When the bomb is triggered, ordinary explosive first compress a plutonium core to ignite a fission reaction, which then ignites the plutonium tamper and ignites the much bigger fusionr reaction

Edward Teller would be proud.
-
yes it implodes the plutonium core to make it go critical and explode so it kickstarts the much larger fusion reaction
-
it might just be because it implodes first and then explodes
-
First implosion, then explosion, I believe there is a certain way of categorizing weapons between the 2, but I'm not quite sure how it's done
-
implosion or explosion

love it! +1!

has the oppenhiemer pic next to it on fp +1

Nice recreation, very faithful to the classic types near the start of the fusion bomb era. +1
