I have been debating about this with one of my friends for a while, and I'm not as well versed in chemistry as he is so this is why I made this topic. I also couldn't find a topic like this through search so hopefully I'm not repeating someone else.
How do the nuclear warheads in Stargate work?
I mean I know nuclear warheads today use a combination of fusion and fission reactions to increase the yield (the largest yield I believe is 100 megatons? I think I remember reading that before but I might be wrong again) And I know that in Stargate they use naquadah to increase the yield even further, even into the multi gigaton range which is where this debate really got heated. I was thinking the naquadah sped up the reaction, thus increasing the energy released finally. He believes that nuclear warheads like the ones seen in Stargate would need to be the size of a 304 or bigger to achieve that huge yield. So I wanted to ask you guys how they work. I hope to get a good explanation that will shed some light on what the real answer is.
