  1. hydrogen-bomb

    A hydrogen bomb, also known as a thermonuclear bomb, is a type of explosive weapon that uses nuclear fusion to release a large amount of energy. It is significantly more powerful than an atomic bomb, which uses nuclear fission instead. The hydrogen bomb derives its destructive force from the fusion of isotopes of hydrogen (deuterium and tritium), creating a heavy pressure wave and intense light and heat. The process is initiated by the detonation of a fission type atomic bomb within the weapon, producing the high temperatures and pressures necessary to start the fusion process.
