The tremendous heat released by the explosion will melt metals such as aluminum.Surrounding areas will be burnt.
Shocking the world, China tested a non-nuclear hydrogen bomb.The weapon was developed by scientists at the research center under the China State Shipbuilding Corporation.
Unlike traditional hydrogen bombs,the detonation uses a chemical called magnesium hydride instead of nuclear energy.
The researchers say that magnesium hydride has the ability to store more hydrogen than it can store in its gaseous state.
Once the bomb is detonated,the magnesium hydride in it begins to decompose very quickly.Doing so produces enormous amounts of heat and releases hydrogen gas as a byproduct of the chemical reaction.
When the hydrogen gas released in this way catches fire, the heat increases enormously and rises above 1000 degrees Celsius.
What makes it so dangerous is that so many things can happen within just two seconds of detonating the bomb.
China’s new bomb is 15 times more dangerous than TNT explosion.Metals such as aluminum can be melted by the tremendous heat released by the bomb blast. Surrounding areas will be burnt.
Researchers have developed a bomb weighing two kilos. In the experiment, the researchers conducted a controlled explosion.
The magnesium hydride detonated into small particles that reacted with the atmosphere and heated up, releasing hydrogen gas.It mixed with the surrounding atmosphere and very quickly self-ignited.With this a fireball was created.
The heat released by this caused more magnesium hydride to decompose and the amount of heat released increased like a chain reaction.This went on and on.
If this bomb is deployed on the battlefield, it will release huge heat in seconds and cause massive damage. Humans cannot bear it.
A very small amount of magnesium hydride can destroy critical centers.A bomb weighing just a few grams is enough to destroy a fuel depot.
If used to block the enemy’s advance, it will be watered down within seconds.Enemy communication centers, roads to key centers,and energy centers can be destroyed with very little use.If you use a little more,an area will burn.
China is doing more research on weapons for use in war. Large-scale production of magnesium hydride began in China earlier this year.
China now has the capacity to produce 150 tons per year.Magnesium hydride is a chemical that cannot be stored or formed in normal atmosphere.
Only a few grams per day can be produced under controlled conditions in the laboratory.China has developed a highly destructive non-nuclear weapon. Currently, no country in the world has such a weapon.
