(1b) This shows an animation of an old fashioned bomb shell implosion
(1c) shows a nuclear cannon that was tested in the '50s or so. Pretty neat stuff!
(2) This demonstrates a controlled nuclear reactor in a powerplant. The reactor heats up the heavy water and then that heat is exchanged into a water boiler that produces steam which drives a (3) turbine which spins (4) a really strong bar magnet which runs (5a,b) a 60Hz, 3-phase generator which goes through (6) a transformer where the two live wires are reduced down to 120V and sent down the distribution grids. 2. Nuclear Power Generator
4. Strong magnet
5a. AC-Generator (technically a 4 phaser, while most in modern times are 3 phasers)
5b. 3 phase electrical power
6. Transformer and Electricity Grids (for illustrative purposes, but may not be an entirely accurate representition of the transformers at electricity plant generaters)
