China Successfully Tests Non-Nuclear Hydrogen Bomb with Sustained Fireball Technology
- Chinese researchers conducted a successful test of a non-nuclear hydrogen-based explosive device that generated a fireball above 1,000 degrees Celsius, lasting more than two seconds, according to the South China Morning Post.
- Developed by the China State Shipbuilding Corporation, the device uses magnesium-based solid-state hydrogen storage material to produce its explosive effect, as noted in the study published in the Chinese Journal of Missiles and Guidance.
- The explosion endured 15 times longer than comparable TNT blasts and can inflict prolonged thermal damage due to its intense fireball, capable of melting aluminum alloys, the study claims.
- The hydrogen bomb releases powerful chemical chain reactions, enhancing its explosive capabilities, according to the research.

Report: China developing advanced hydrogen bomb
Chinese researchers have successfully conducted a controlled field test of a non-nuclear hydrogen-based explosive device that released powerful chemical chain reactions, the South China Morning Post reported Sunday. According to the study, the 2-kilogram hydrogen bomb created a fireball with a temperature above 1,000 degrees Celsius and sustained it for more than two seconds. The duration of the explosion was 15 times longer than that of a TNT b…
