Atomic Weapons Orientation Part Five - Effects of Atomic Weapons - 12:22 - This video shows the heat, blast, and radiation effects of a nuclear explosion on personnel (dummies), structures, and military equipment. The video is a compilation of numerous nuclear detonations in the atmospheric testing program, but does not identify each blast. All types of detonations, including underground, surface, near surface and high altitude are shown.
Atomic Weapons Orientation Part Six - A Special Weapon Orientation: The Thermonuclear Weapon - 29:12 - This video provides a history and the major developmental phases of the thermonuclear program up to May 1, 1956. The test operations of Greenhouse, Ivy and Castle are highlighted. The GEORGE test in Operation Greenhouse was the first thermonuclear test explosion. It was followed by the MIKE test in Operation Ivy, which used a liquid, or "wet" fuel. A wet fuel was very expensive, as it had to be super cooled until used. The first test in Operation Castle, BRAVO, used a dry fuel successfully, and that ended the debate over wet versus dry fuel.
Two continuing goals remained: (1) determine how to reduce the size and weight of the thermonuclear weapon, and (2) gather information on the effects of high-yield weapons. Regarding size and weight, the video shows a series of weapons that gradually are reduced in these aspects. Also, it shows the air delivery capabilities of these weapons, including footage on the B-47, the B-36 and the B-52 aircraft. On the effects aspect, the video defines fallout and describes what kind of path it leaves, the dangers from it, and how to protect oneself. It shows the destructive forces of a thermonuclear weapon in many ways, including how the MIKE test destroyed the island of Eluglab. A dramatic scene develops at the end as the narrator says, "This is the detonation of a thermonuclear weapon on Enewetok Atoll. This is a man standing on Bikini Atoll, 200 miles away." The light and boiling cloud of colors illuminates the entire sky almost as if the explosion was only a few miles away.

WOW! The dazzling 8 bit graphics look, combined with 60+ year old 16mm color film, really gives my flatscreen TV a classic look! Thanks!
I like to watch on my 20 year old Sony Trinitron CRT monitor...
@@buckhorncortez'Trinit'ron nice
i am absolutely fascinated by these films,totally totally mesmerised,ive always liked them.
I wonder who ever filmed them …. It’d be incredible to hear their story.
@@jerome8670Lots of the photographers/filmakers worked for the military at a studio in Los Angeles called Lookout Mountain. Also many already had conventional jobs in the TV Movie industry.
Another stellar narrative performance by Uncle Martin!
5:53 that magically appearing car always gets me... 🤣😂🤣😂
And the burning film reel effect on the Ivy Mike fireball gets me too
Growing up in the 70s and 80s gives this video a deeper resonance than felt by younger people. We really, ACTUALLY felt the fear of this as kids. D.A., NYC (b. 1971)
You "felt the fear"? I grew up in the 1950s and we had civil defense drills in school and learned to stay away from windows, duck and cover, etc. But YOU were scared in the 1970s and 1980s...? Hard to believe...
@@buckhorncortez ....yup....but it is true...which kid doesn't worry about dying? Funny how someone sympathizes the same thing you experienced but you think your experience is unique. LOL
As kids, or as a kid (b. 1950) growing up in the 50s and 60s, this rolled off our backs. It was meaningless. Cowboys shot Indians, who got up from the dead and played in the next film. Bullets bounced off Superman. No one died when I shot them with my cap pistol. Duck and cover meant we got out of class and giggled crouching in the school halls. The film writers were dealing with pop guns. A low yield hydrogen weapon would have a fireball 10 miles wide within a second, two at the most. Despite our duck and cover in school, a drop on Times Square in Manhattan would have vaporized us long before we knew what happened. The writers were clueless as to what they were writing about.
@@buckhorncortezThe way these weapons were talked about and conceived of changed. In the 50s and 60s you could take effective action and a nuclear war could be won. I’m the 70s and 80s no one bothered to duck and cover because the 1000s of massive thermonuclear weapons that would be used in a nuclear exchange meant that there would be no where to hide. And no one would survive. It wasn’t our own death that scared us as much as the destruction of everyone and everything. How realistic those fears were, is definitely debatable, but that was how it was portrayed in the 80s.
I agree b.1972 . 80s were odd . Nothing I’m sure like 50s or missle crisis ..
I just love the smell of plutonium in the morning!!
The I highly suggest an extremely close range so you can have the best opportunity to get that close up smell of Plutonium.. within the 100 foot range for you I think would be highly beneficial..
😃 Me too 😀
danahan01 smells like victory 😳
"Do you taste metal?"
Not quite right - should be I love the taste of fission in the morning.
Imagine the fact that the original design was twice as powerful, only halved so the bomber could actually not get killed.
2:25 The column is surpassing the pedestal
It takes me breath away when I think that this clip is of a relatively low yield atomic weapon. Pause the video at 02:02, and look at the size of that dust cloud. It's terrifying!
I like the way the weather clouds never move.
Those vertical lines are sensors that are suspended, to gauge blast pressure at lengths from Ground zero. 💥💥💥
Lol no 😂
They are simply smoke rockets they shoot to have a spacial reference on the footage.
You're both partially right. The "smoke lines" are from rockets carrying sensors, which were launched just before the blast gets triggered. In some of these videos you can catch glimpses of rows of these rockets lined up on the beach before the blast.
Drop a h- bomb on Beta Odourke- I'll bring the marshmallows!
Scary stuff. To think that we have capabilities far greater than in the film is absolutely frightening.
Needs more cowbell!
"Sir, I do have one question. What exactly is this particular orchestral piece going to be used for? I can't help but notice the comments on the sheet music that say "Blast Starts Here", "Blinding Flash" and things like that."
"It's for...a...hot air balloon...training video."
"I see...and why did we have to come out to the middle of the desert to record this?"
"It's...fun."
"Oh."
LMFAO XD
3:02 "Mingling and blending with the clouds of the air". And then dumping radioactive fallout in back yards across the United States.... (They forgot that part)
All over Utah.
@@dreemsnake1 Yep, this book details it all.... www.goodreads.com/book/show/693209.Under_the_Cloud
Very nice upload. That finally explained to me why it always looked like that house got hit by two blast waves.
It's almost as if there is lots of anger pent up and pulling all the energy in until it just says Fxxk Yoooou and blows everything around it to hell.
I once saw train cars with methane explode. The heat hits you instantly and then the concussion.
..yup,, thermal radiation travels at c...
Imagine being a lizard sleeping in this desert, and then they woke up to the sight of a dark grey mushroom cloud
Wow this video covers all the basics, nice. I want to see one in real life.
28:00 thats a *thicc* boi
Skynet ☢️ Rise of the terminators
Patrick McCallum bruhhhhhhhhhh
hello nice weather we're having! (paranoid eyes darting 'round)
`Seems rather short-sighted (no pun intended) to take a film, whose main focus (again, no pun intended) is on the visual display of nuclear explosions, and then present it in 144p...nice and blurry.
True, but also don't forget that this is a 13 year old video. Storage space was quite limited, especially for such a large file as a 40+ min long video.
Going to Las Vegas to see the explosions was a major tourist attraction.
Would be cool if it was still around. I'd love to witness one of these nuclear blasts in person. I bet it's absolutely mesmerizing. Unfortunately we now understand the implications of atmospheric tests and it'll never happen.
@@AdiusOmega tests yes. Actual war, bound to happen. Look how many times the orange colored maniac threatened to do it. Unbelievable an actual American almost started a nuclear war, when we always assumed a foreign nutjob would push the button instead.
Listen to the obvious enthusiasm the narrator has for these end the world weapons.
Reminds me of the heathens of today glorying in their imminent destruction.
Heaven is not for everyone. One must accept the gift.
....wow...deep....I think I made need chest waders...
1 1/2" inch steel, 6" of concrete, or 7 1/2" of dirt only reduces gamma radiation by HALF........that's scary lol
Then double the thickness!!!!
20K of other explosives wow just imagine being the one to set that off wow the mind boggles....
@ESPguitarist1969 Those are the trails of rockets fired just before the blast in order to visualize the movement of the air as the shockwave passes through.
I don't think I'll ever get to see one live.
I know right? Man if only I had the complete box setof un "sanatized" versons of these vids plus a nice helping of popcorn with some soda and I'd be like a pig in shit.
Now how far away do ya have to be from those Blasts again? How deep? Does it linger and where and How long. Library is still open! Go...Graduates revoked!
The absolute naivety of these films is terrifying. Assuming conventional troop movements are even remotely relevant in a nuclear exchange.
Why does the initial ivy Mike shot look like film rills burning ?
There was obviously some still classified audio sanitized out regarding the "george" shot.
the fallout numbers are incorrect, demonstrated by CASTLE BRAVO
It is not the heat and pressure that makes fusion possible, but the brief but powerful burst of X-rays. The bomb's outer shell would be far too weak for the pressure and heat to build up, and the material would be blasted away before a fusion reaction could even occur.😉
How does one measure high intensity nutrons without being killed?
Carefully.
LOLOL
The censored gaps in the audio or video are frustrating 🤐
TX 14 is the design model inspiration for the 2021 Tesla
Of course, being an official film, and of its time, they didn't mention that Castle Bravo nearly killed everyone involved in the shot. The Lithium being used (Lithium7) produced an extra neutron which physicists hadn't taken account of. It 'ran away' to 15 megatons, the largest thermonuclear device the US ever tested.
Actually, one of the Lithium 7 neutrons was destroyed, creating Lithium 6. The scientists thought that the L7 would be inert, and did not foresee this happening. Thus, the yield was 2.5 times higher.
kyokogodai
Nice to know the nuclear scientists were so inept, good job the yield didn't go off the scale, they could have vaporised the island....
Andy Northall To learn the precise effects and risks is why we do tests. Ironically, this also tends to be risky of its own accord.
Andy Northall I thought that it was higher than 15megatons (please correct me if I'm wrong)...also I know that the highest yielding device was the "Tsar Bomba", made by the Soviets, at 50Mt yield, but if the Soviets wanted to they could have made the device capable of an insane yield of 100Mt!! Wtf!?!
Andy Northall The Bravo Shot; Operation Castle, differed the first Thermonuclear Device:: Mike Shot; Operation Ivy, on the use ot "Dry and Wet" fuels. The SHRIMP (Physics Package, Primary and Secondary Stages) utilised "Dry" LiD, with a 40:60% Ratio of lithium-6 and the (assumed inert) lithium-7 isotope holding more volume. The Alpha Particles/Fast Moving Neutrinos bombarded this isotope, which under these environments, didn't behave as theorised, creating and msintaining new isotopes and releasing more and more energy. The result saw thr Device releasing a Yield between 2.5 and 3x the anticipated Yield. The Bravo Shot holds the distinction as the largest "Nuclear" or Radiological Disaster in U.S. History, and Largest Fission-Fusion Weapon Detonated by the U.S. It's 5th all-time, as the CCCP holds First through Fourth place, 3rd and 4th being 20-22mt Yirld Thermonuclear Weapons.
Cheers.
And after watching this. I can't beleive such beautiful and stpendous things happen to such a Weapon. An Ice cap may form on the top of Gray and White 5+mile high cloud while the cloud itself being held over a large un-rooted stem of dust is around 3+ miles in diameter.
And It's a Weapon :(
john williams must have enjoyed scoring this classified film.
This is fucking unbelievable.
Hey how'd orientation go at the new job?
... how much time ya got?
we are in soooo much trouble.
Is that Ray Walston?
Humans :look at my atomic bomb !
God: Hold my beer...
I thought God was a wine cooler,, uh,, God,, but if you say beer it's beer lol...
That's because we don't need anything that powerful..
@Pirlinetor Actually, a surprising amount of information on the design and mechanisms of nuclear weapons is public knowledge. The highly classified stuff is precise implementation details and the knowledge required to figure them out(e.g. the equation of state for plutonium, the number of neutrons released in fission as a function of the energy of incomming neutrons and so on).
@jpourkav what is a case where we convert energy into mass? Fusion maybe? honest question your comment got me thinking
The tsar 50 megaton blast test in russia was somthing to behold. The pilot of the bomber that dropped it was given a 50/50 chance of survival. He went on to fly it anyway. The plane made it out pretty far before it failed. The pilot did survive although his balls glowed an eerie green at night.
Unreasonable fear my ass, you should be afraid of weapons like this. They exploded over 600 bombs in Nevada.
I love the slow motion air burst .The precursor effect is due to the unearthly heat from the airburst like drips of water on a very hot pan ! It is cooking the earth under neath it with temperatures not found on earth or even our universe nothing is hotter nothing !
operation "up shot nut hole"
i just realised. i googled north korean national anthem now im watching this....hi NSA!
ahahahah thats bloody funny mate.....
pen mightygun hey
Hello, Dave
Lol
How are you doing, Dave
Odd to think the narrator is Ray Walston, who played "My Favorite Martian" on television, among other roles. He must have had a very high security clearance to narrate these films.
Here's what they should have done. Thrown parties at minimum safe distance with large stocks of food and alcohol to determine if large intake of processed food and booze can help prevent the effects of radiation exposure. Those minimum safe distance parties would have been biblical.
Declassified means the classified information is blacked out so that only unclassified matter is shown. Hence what is shown here.
Declassified means just that. Still classified information is blacked out or redacted. A subject can be declassified, but still contain information related to other subjects / projects personnel that are still classified.
Pretty cool but scary as well for a time we thought we could use this just like any other bomb
Love how the narrator says don't be afraid of nuclear war; just before 'The End'! 😆
Test Program = GREENHOUSE 🎉🎉🎉
How many died or got cancer just from this one?
The wife of Lot got turned to salt because she looked behind her
The most expensive part of the H bomb is the primary the secondary is dirt cheap so you try to make the primary as small as you can
43:56 : That's a damn skull in the mushroom cloud. Top middle left.
That must have been doctored.
Luv and Peace?
Humans naturally see faces in objects like rocks and other geometric patterns. Smoke and fire is typical, our brains pick them out.
You folks better watch out .. P3ace .. A+ ..
The bombs we have today are smaller than in these tests. The fallout from the 10-15MT bombs was very bad for 1. Also, the bombs were heavy and hard to deploy. The biggest bomb in the U.S. arsenal is now 1.2MT........about 1/10th the size of the larger "Castle" tests. (Bravo 15MT, Romeo 11MT, and Yankee 13.5MT)
We all fucked up making these bombs
If it would have been inevitable. It's in our nature to understand the laws governing our universe. We are curious creatures. Eventually someone would have discovered the implications of splitting the atom.
Does anyone no the effect all this had on the oceans and our atmosphere could this be where all the global warming climate change came from ie. radiation .heat .skin melting.
Cant see that anything good came from a nuclear bom ?
the sun's newborn at 1:49
this is like the longest frickin video evar!
but now i see that ,since the advent of the mirv rocket,warheads of between 100-500 kt would be the norm,and most exploded above their targets. Another entire class of nuclear weapons eliminated,unless planes could actually get to a target
The following film is classified top secret. Brought to you by the defense department in part with Nesquik. Again thats thats the national defense department. "What you see no body will believe."
Not top secret at all
Thats such a strange attitude "Our chances of survival in nuclear war can be increased" Say you do survive the first few months. The world food supply will be wiped out by nuclear winter and fall out. So 99.9999999% of the population will be gone after a year. Humanity might be able survive in the hundreds in small under ground pockets if they can figure out how to get food, water, and electricity. Right now no place has a way to grow food under ground.
Why don't the cameras move when everything around them gets destroyed?
They're in strong concrete housings with extremely thick glass windows. But some of the cameras do get messed up, but they could recover the film afterward.
NameNotAlreadyTaken2 they even had remote controls cars and planes for the testing and high speed cameras.
Using that "square mile" measurement makes it very hard to understand what distance from the blast it is referring to ...
250 square miles of severe devastation is a radius of just about 9 miles, and a diameter close to 18 miles. It's r = √(A / π)
How uplifting.
Can this film be digitally restored?
this is part 5?
beautiful
This is fucking insane
Yup. That's called sanitization, and it allows the video to be declassified.
Censored at 30:20 ?
Indeed, that section almost certainly contained graphics depicting the physical layout of the primary and secondary, and possibly their shapes and the shapes of tampers and other elements of the physics package involved with interstage energy coupling, a topic which has always been sensitive.
At time 43:08 see "This Video Has Been Sanitized; Classified Portions Have Been Removed".
Well overal schemes aint problem to find, the main problem in making A-bomb is to make plutonium for it
ruclips.net/video/zVhQOhxb1Mc/видео.html
Nice presentation how to do it
I think we know anybody can make nukes if they really set their minds to it. They might be sloppy, low-yield fizzlers, but they'll do the job. Missiles are just for show. If I were Kim, I'd have my people in place assembling these things in Seoul and ... wherever else he wants them. No need to deliver if it's assembled in situ. The only problem would be the rush of terrorist groups claiming responsibility. Can you see him stomping his foot, "It was me! It was ME!!! I did it! Not them!"
And we all lived happly ever after :)
That physics "experiment" Castle bravo killed a couple Japanese fishermen....
Big deal!!!
How many people get killed in road accidents every year.
How many Japanese did Hirohito get killed by declaring war on USA.
🛩🎎💥☠️
How many people die in medical experiments ever year????😷🤒🤕
I think they learned a lot of the TRUE effects of radiation after this was made, how many onlookers died from supposedly being safe?
That's right troops don't let the fact that your nuts have burned off make you think that foxhole isn't protecting you from the nuclear fireball.
That's Ray Bolger (My Favorite Martian) on the voiceover, isn't it?
Dude seems pretty happy about all these toys for violent evil boys.
Irradiating our planet with nuclear fission is absolutely crazy.
But what if it was raining during a nuclear explosion;
Then the troops would get radiation poisoning from the fallout and they would need suits to protect them
The day we made the hydrogen bomb is the day humanity became sun gods.
The day humanity became capable of annihilating its self
@@lindaeasley4336 Me being truthful, yes these things are truly terrifying. Same with chemical nerve agents. Highlights quite eloquently just how strange of a species we are. Equally strange is how fascinating I find both nuclear weapons and nerve agents.
castle bravo destroyed like a quarter of the island
VOLUME WARNING!
35:30 And the fallout shelters are born.
Governments call these types of scientific discoveries as progress. Tells you all you need to know about who's running the place.
Gorgeous bombs works of art
dam wish they had better cams back then ffs think about what the view would be like
Tim you know the lord shows me clouds... i should get classified footage. It might explain something.
What about the radioactive wind to all near by populations. Unreal
What was the original target audience for these films?
Generals!
Does anyone know what those straight lines are going up?
Ask hollywood studios -- someone should know or remember there how they have made them. (To an "official" explanation go to the wiki or such.)
What kind of things are sensor rockets, please?
And when they are measured? In the nearest place possible to the "nuclear blast"?
Sandor Voross
They are used to determine the progress of the shock front from the detonation.
nuclearweaponarchive.org/Usa/Tests/SmokeTrails.html
And is this explanation "official"? Is there anybody responsible for it?
Sorry, please, I don't believe anything about nukes even about "nuclear" physics. The shots are clearly fake (listen to more than one) -- and the "material" more clearly and flagrantly: propaganda; -- why should one bother oneself with "science"?
