Well, basically. In the type that was dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in WWII, bags of gunpowder were placed at the back of the bomb. There were two pieces of nuclear material in the weapon, connected by a rod. When the bomb was set, off, the gunpowder would ignite, and that drove the first piece of nuclear material into the second with incredible force. That would start a chain reaction, creating a small fireball that was hotter than the surface of the sun. As the fireball expanded, a shockwave was created, which is what gave the bomb its destructive power. I want the Tendou to do something similar to that, only not by a nuclear reaction. The Tendou creates a fireball several hundred feet in the air, and as it expands, a shockwave is created. The only problem is that I can't figure out how to do that without a nuclear reaction.
