China has tested a non-nuclear hydrogen bomb.


Scientists from China have successfully tested an explosive device based on hydrogen, achieving detonation without the use of nuclear materials. This device was developed by the Scientific Research Institute of the China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC). The basis of this device is magnesium hydride - a chemical compound used for hydrogen storage. When the explosive material is activated, magnesium hydride decomposes, releasing hydrogen, which ignites and creates a sustained burn.
During the test, a two-kilogram bomb was used. As a result of the explosion, a fireball was formed with a temperature of over 1000 degrees Celsius, lasting more than two seconds. The same amount of TNT would have created a fireball with a 'lifespan' 15 times shorter, the scientists noted.
The developers of this device emphasize that they can precisely control the intensity of the explosion, allowing for uniform damage to targets over a large area.
