Super nuclear bomb has the most explosive power in the world

The Tsar Bomba is the largest, most powerful nuclear weapon ever exploded, and remains the most powerful explosive device ever detonated in human history.

Russia exhibits the world's most terrifying explosion of nuclear bombs

The Tsar Bomba nuclear bomb ( Tsar Bomb) was taken from the city of Sarov, home of the Russian Nuclear Center to Moscow, on August 22.

The standard size version of the bomb will be on display in Russia's 70-year Atomic Exhibition, held from September 1-29 at the Manege Exhibition , just outside Krelin and Red Square.

Tsar Bomba is the nickname for the AN602 gas bomb developed and produced by the Soviet Union (only one). This is the largest nuclear device ever released in human history. The 57 megaton (Mt) bomb weighs 27 tons, 8 meters long and 2 meters in diameter. The energy generated in the explosion is greater than the total amount of explosives used during World War II, greater than 3,800 times the American Fat Man bomb dropped on Nagasaki.

The test of the world-shaking Tsar Bomba nuclear bomb took place at 1132 minutes on October 30, 1961, in the Mityushikh Bay nuclear test area .

Bom Tsar Bom was carried in a white Tu-95 Bear painted to limit the damage caused by the heat pulse of the bomb. The Tsar Bomba was also fitted with a parachute to reduce the drop rate, allowing the aircraft time to escape the bombing position of about 50 km before the nuclear explosion occurred.

When the aircraft arrives at a predetermined position, at a height of about 10 km, the bomb is dropped. According to the documents, it was intended to explode at a height of 4 km above the ground (4.2 km above sea level) with barometric sensors.The giant fireball created from the explosion reached the ground, close to the altitude of the bomber, and was seen and felt from 1000 km from the test area. The heat of the explosion could cause degree 3 burns (standing 100 km away), the mushroom-shaped cloud later about 64 km (more than 7 times more than Everest) and 40 km wide. The explosion can be observed and felt in Finland, breaking window glass in Finland and Sweden. Atmospheric convergence causes damage at distances up to 1,000 km.

About 40 minutes after the explosion, radio waves hundreds of kilometers away from the explosion are still deformed because of ionizing the air. In addition, Sputnik said the sound waves generated after the explosion circled the Earth three times and in the area of ​​Dikson Island, 800kms from the blast wave blew the windows and made a sound like a cannon.

The test turned a large area of ​​Siberia into a radioactive desert. After that, controversy broke out in the world about the dangerous nature of the incident. The consequences of a nuclear weapons test directly affect people by radioactive substances, which are extremely dangerous to human health. That provided the basis for negotiations on a nuclear weapons ban treaty on August 5, 1963.
