The single most powerful nuclear bomb ever created by man in the world and the most powerful man-made explosion in human history is the Tsar Bomb produced by Russia. The explosion of this bomb, which had a power of more than 50 megatons, created a cloud of smoke in the air that was 7 times the size of Mount Everest.
Also, the shock waves caused by this bomb traveled around the globe once in 3 times, and all the constructions within a 55 km radius from the place where the bomb exploded turned into dust. It even shattered the windows of buildings 900 km away.
This bomb was tested on October 30, 1961. It was parachuted into the Serverny island (Novaya,Zemlaya) from 13,000 feet above the ground.
Here is a model of Tsar bomb.
