The Hydrogen Bomb works by using a shell of fissile material surrounding a hydrogen pellet. When the shell is detonated, a massive amount of pressure is exerted onto the hydrogen atoms, causing them to fuse into helium, and release energy. | The Hydrogen Bomb works by using a shell of fissile material surrounding a hydrogen pellet.
