I'd appreciate it if any calc group members could look at this

Bump

Jeez, you wasted your time I think

The China Lop Nur bomb is about 300x the strength of the little boy bomb which has an explosive yield of 15000 tonnes of tnt, 15000 x 300 = 4500000 tonnes of tnt (Small city level)

I think your calc is perfect but does slightly lowball it

I didn’t use the Lop Nur bomb, I only used that video as an example for calculating time

My bad chief, I embarrassed myself XD

We'll also have to incorporate the radius of the fireball which is 2800 feet which is 853.44 meters

Where did you get 2800 feet from? 5700/2 is 2850 unless you got 2800 feet from somewhere else and I didn't understand it

The wind speed is quite crucial in terms of measuring the affect and the blast and energy yield of a nuclear missile but since this is fiction, let's suppose such concise details won't be necessarily needed.

Does this mean we assume the wind speed and peak overpressure are at maximum, 934mph and 50psi?

Oops, thanks for pointing out the mistake

That’s the example I used though if you can pixel scale the scene then wind speed and peak overpressure not really necessary
