The Physical Principles of Thermonuclear Explosive Devices is a 1981 technical monograph by the physicist Friedwardt Winterberg, published by the Fusion Energy Foundation as the first volume of its Frontiers of Science series (with introductions by Morris Levitt and Uwe Parpart).
Overview
The book sets out, at a physics level, the fundamental principles governing thermonuclear ("hydrogen bomb") reactions — ignition, energy release, and the compression and confinement of fusion fuel. Its stated theme, expressed in the foreword, is that the physics of the H-bomb holds the key to unlimited controlled fusion energy; Winterberg discusses the implications for inertial-confinement and other approaches to fusion power.
