"Y = ((x/0.28)^3/1000

• Y = ((0.07236/0.28)^3/1000 = 0.0000172592365277 Megatons"

Last time I checked this formula converted the resulting yield to kilotons, not megatons. The result would then be 7.22e7 joules, which is small building level, not large building.

Dividing it by 2 makes it 3.6, still small building.

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Yes, its supposed to be in kilotons

 

[WeeklyBattles]

I knew something seemed off

Called it being 9-A

 

[Jinsye]

I don't think so?

((0.07236/0.28)^3 = 0.0172592365276968 kilotons which is 17 tons, as the calc said.

You missed the fact that the /1000 makes it megatons.

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Its not supposed to be in megatons at all, using that formula is supposed to put it only in kilotons

 

[Jinsye]

I'll use the formula here, where it explicitly states that the yield is in Kilotons to double check.

0.07236 = Y^(1/3)*0.28

Putting that into an algebra calculator gives me 0.017259 kilotons or 17 tons of TNT, which is the same as the calc.

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

It would be /1,000,000 would be Megatons and having no /1,000 at all would just be Metric Tons. This seems alrightish, but didn't Kep use chemical formula to get an 8-B result?

 

[Maverick_Zero_X]

There was a 8-B version of the calc. Would that be okay to use?

 

[Jinsye]

It would be /1,000,000 would be Megatons and having no /1,000 at all would just be Metric Tons.

No the base formula of ((x/0.28)^3 gives the yield in Kilotons, dividing that by 1000 gives the result in Megatons.

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

Oh, nvm then, didn't see that link and the Explosion Yield Calculations still has the /1000 equaling Kilotons though.

 

[Schnee_One]

So....

No downgrade or what?

What of this 13-ton calc here using a new formula?

 

[Antoniofer]

No, the calculation is mathecally good, the result is measured in megatons and 0.000017 megatons = 17 tons; the other method woukd be better since the explosion happened in a surface.

However, my issue is that most explosions calcs we assume 20 psi with no proves whatsoever.

:Oh flip
