Moving the moon

[Meosos]

How much energy would be needed to cause a solar eclipse by moving the moon ? Of course you probably need more information I am searching for the feat.

 

[Kaltias]

It depends from how fast you moved it, because we need to calc the KE

I found a part of the feat:

[Meosos]

There is also another series which has a similar feat, but at the moment I cant find the feat.

The scene cuts off to quick to really calculate.

If you find a better clip, I can calc it.

 

[Meosos]

I just looked it up. Thats the entire feat. They create a lunar eclipse.

The absolute, bare minimum, lowest end possible for moving the moon is High 6-A

 

[Meosos]

Its a feat from legend of the seeker, episode 1x19 and was done by two persons.

The sky starts to get dark at 36:23 and at 37:44 we have full light again. They moved the moon, to create a spontanous solar eclipse.

So they needed a minute?

3474000 m is the Moon's diameter and 60 s the timeframe. Mass is 7,342 × 1022 kg

KE=7,342*10^22*0,5*((3474000/60)^2)=1,2303154595e+32 J which is Small Planet level+

I'm busy atm, but I'll get to calcing it when I get the time.

Ok thanks. But I think I might give them the lowest end first and wait for a calc I can link, if Darkanine makes one.
