    This is, by far and away, the best video atomic tests channel has published, it is stunning in detail. Thank you very much.

    Phenomenal content. This is what I come here for. Especially the EG&G photography segment in this post regarding "Teller Light" (i.e. fireball formation and early physics package timing sequence). The commentary from LLNL (I assume) is also great...way better than the 'Reed Hadley' style early 50s narration you get with most of these.
    Super upload! More like this please.

      I worked for EG&G. The group that did the triggering, test instrumentation, and photography was called "Energy Measurements" - which is exactly what they were doing for the atomic testing, while the name sounded benign and industrial.

    The narration sounds like it's from the late 70s or early to mid-80s, It clearly does not sound like the kind of narration or music from the 60s.

      The filming was done in the early 1960's but the soundtrack was produced much later. That go-go style music with synthesizers probably dates from the 70's. Given that industrial films usually feature low budget, third-rate talent this soundtrack could date from as late as the 1980's.

    • @marioragucci1009
      @marioragucci1009 4 года назад

      Also, comparing this narration and accent to today, its uniquely 70's and 80s vibe. This film could have been converted to VHS. Remember back then, in the early 80's teacher would have a TV mounted on a standing dolly, with a VHS bolted to the stand, because it was very valuable, a vhs player. This great vhs tapes could have been made available at some American libraries (?) but I doubt it. I appreciate very much viewing content like this. Thank you ATC

      @Bernard de Fontaines Circularly polarized antennas suffer much less from signal polarisation fading (flutter) than compared to a linearly polarized antenna system. They're often used in high altitude or satellite applications in a transmission and/or reception path.

    • @dougp3867
      @dougp3867 4 года назад

      Yes and no. Dominic data was important as a cross reference to several operations up to and including 'musketeer'. The ultimate goal was synthetic odeling that could produce asymmetric primary designs for small thermonuclear weapons for the Trident, MX, and MMIII programs...which it did successfully. Regarding detectable yield? Yes...sabre rattling. Justly so.

      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mushroom_cloud gives a good explanation of how the mushroom cloud forms. That weird, narrow, vertical cloud that starts climbing up towards the mushroom at 11:55 is really strange, though. No idea what caused that.

      @@glennallen496 Sorry, I meant the little white cloud in the foreground. It kinda just appears out of nowhere.
      The thin white stem you mentioned must be air sucked up into the torus of the mushroom cloud, and moisture freezing into tiny ice crystals.

    • @trolleriffic
      @trolleriffic 11 месяцев назад

      ​@@maksphoto78 It's a Wilson cloud formed by the condensation of moisture as a result of the sudden pressure drop that follows the shockwave as it passes through the air. Here's a more obvious and very famous example of the phenomenon at work - ruclips.net/video/YUd7tgIirBI/видео.htmlsi=mQonNCIEMTKTDbSS&t=33

      Why do you think he should have described it all? Like a drunk? Like a mentally ill? How exactly? Obviously, nuclear weapons testing was normal in the period in question, as was normal for any other nation, and these videos were just official work reports, so they were done in the best possible way. Guys this is just history.
