China tests non-nuclear hydrogen bomb: white-hot fireball lasts 15 times TNT
- inhumantsar 1y ago> The chain reaction begins when detonation shock waves fracture magnesium hydride into micron-scale particles, exposing fresh surfaces, according to the study. > > Thermal decomposition rapidly releases hydrogen gas, which mixes with ambient air. Upon reaching the lower explosive limit, the mixture ignites, triggering exothermic combustion. so it's a thermobaric device. wonder how this compares to the types used by the US.
