The 1962 edition of Glasstone’sThe Effects of Nuclear Weaponsand the Lovelace Foundation’s “Nuclear Bomb Effects Computer.” Why did it take me so long to add a burst height feature?(A feature that, to both me and many others alike, was obviously lacking.) Much of the NUKEMAP’s cod...
Nuclear explosionsBlast effectsEDB/450200EDB/450300Air-pressure measurements on Operation Ivy were unique in two respects: Detonation of the first superbomb on Mike shot presented an opportunity to verify experimentally the applicability of the W1/3 scaling law at larger yields than ever before; on ...
An EMP is a massive burst of electromagnetic energy that can occur naturally or be generated deliberately using nuclear weapons. While many experts don't think EMPs pose a big threat, some people argue that these types of weapons could be used to cause widespread disruption to electricity-depende...
This scaled radius is equivalent to the R1 in the sphere burst calculation. R1 is different for a deflagration than a detonation. The value of R1 is: R1 = 1 3 4 (γ1 − πq 1) 3 1 ...
"By creating a combined one-two punch of laser light, we could first open a doorway through the air and then wedge it open just long enough to control and direct electricity through the atmosphere," said Polynkin, the paper's corresponding author. "This incredibly rapid double burst of ene...
