A page for reference of common feats by Jasonsith

Introduction

"Only a Sith deals in absolutes." (Obi-Wan Kenobi to Anakin Skywalker) But... Inspired by Ugarik, Spinosaurus75dinosaurfan, ArbitraryNumbers, DontTalkDT, Votron5 and various VSBW members, we have a page where we can have common feats in more solid, "absolute" figures.

We are discussing more here. I am giving some calcs here.

Disclaimer: This is a series of WIP projects and any help would be appreciated. Most of the feats here have been approved (and more approved feats will be added). Thank you.

The Feats

Punching a fist-sized hole through things

Before we start, we need the size of a fist.

From here and here:

The length of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th Prox. Phalanges are 41.17mm, 45.17 mm, 41.8 mm, and 33.46 mm respectively. The width of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th Prox. Phalanges are 16.46 mm, 16.37 mm, 14.87 mm, and 14.33 mm respectively. This comes to an area of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th prox. phalanges at 677.6582 mm^2, 739.4329 mm^2, 621.566 mm^2, and 479.4818 mm^2 respectively. This comes to a total area of 2518.1389 mm^2 or 25.181389 cm^2.

Which means an exact fist surface area to hit on a surface of something is 25.181389 cm^2. I am assuming a straight punch with four prox. phalanges touching the surface of portion of object to destroy. I assume the said character tuck the thumb under the index and middle finger, while Votron5 may suggest that some people places the thumb next to the curled fingers. In his case, the surface area would be 25.929159 cm^2. (And the destructive energy would be multiplied by the following ratio 25.929159/25.181389 if the said hole is shaped with an extra thumb. Easy.)

Punch through an interior wall

Walls can be made with various materials. Normally an interior wall is 4 1/2 inch thick - that's 11.43 cm.

Volume destroyed is 25.181389 * 11.43 = 287.8232763 cc

Multiplying the volume destroyed by the destruction energy of the material and the degree of destruction and we get...

Destroying a part of a door

Destroying two hinge joints

A door comes with 2 hinges each with 2 faces of 3.5 inch times 1.5 inch at a rough thickness of 0.21 inch. It also comes with a pole joint at a diameter of 0.5 inch and height of 3.5 inch.

First, we see the volume of the joint, whose voulme is at most (0.5/2 * 2.54)^2 * pi() * (3.5*2.54) = 11.26157372 cc. Two hinges means two joints at 22.52314745 cc.

I believe most door hinges and knobs are made of steel before I even write this.

...

I know what you're thinking: would the frames actually be easier to destroy? The answer is... maybe yes.

The part of frames adjacent to the hinges

The volume of frame to destroy roughly equals to
(thickness of the door * effective deepness of the pin * height of the hinge) * 2 hinges = 3.334 * 1.27 * 3.5*2.54 * 2 = 75.2837204 cc

Making a hole in a ceiling or floor

Fictional characters love making large holes in ceilings or floors.

I am listing various hole sizes that are common in real life.

• The hulls of International Space Station can be as thick as 0.5 inch or 1.27 cm.
• A manhole cover is usually 86 cm in diameter (43 cm in radius) and 1.75 inch thick (4.445 cm in thickness)
• A residential flat in a skyscraper can have the thickness of the floor slabs (excluding plaster) up to 20 cm thick.
• A hole big enough for a person to freely drop in fiction usually has a diameter the same as a human height. Here I take the height of an average American male, which is 175.3 cm in diameter (and thus 87.65 cm in radius).
• It is a common gag feat a human straight punch is assumed to punch a hole with a radius of ~5 cm.
• The median radius of an average baseball is around 3.725 cm.

The common types of hole volumes are...

tldr:
Volume of the circular hole (in cc) = pi * (radius in cm)^2 * (thickness of the wall in cm)
Energy required to make a hole in a wall (in joules) = (Volume of the circular hole in cc) * (value of level of destruction for a material in joule/cc)

Explosions from objects other than TNT

Please refer to here for explosions by TNT.

In reality though, we often see lots of objects that contain gasoline go boom despite being slightly damaged and/or ignited. This is mainly because fuels in the car contain a lot of energies. A spark can ignite the fuels to go boom but the boom is definitely not due to the AP of the attack but the AP from burning the fuels.

Energy density of gasoline = 34.2 MJ/L

If one object explodes because the object will explode if slightly hit by an attack from the offender, it cannot really count as the true AP of the offender. The offender still attacks an object to explode, but that AP alone is not equal to the explosion.

Also, the values below show only the maximum energy to release in the explosion, as assuming all chemical combustion energy will be released in one single go. As usually the fuel will not be burnt all at once, the explosion actually incurred will obviously not be yielding as much energy.

A car

A Toyota Corolla CVT XSE private car has a fuel capacity of 13.2 gal = 49.9674355 L

Now the explosion yield per car = 1,708,886,293.96 J - 0.408433627 ton TNT, Building level

A motorcycle

A Yamaha Star Eluder motorcycle has a fuel capacity of 6.6 gal = 24.98371775 L

Explosion yield per motorcycle = 854,443,147 J - 0.204216813 ton TNT, Small Building level+

A 9-tonne truck

A Isuzu NQR75 manual goods truck has a fuel capacity of 100 L

Explosion yield per this truck = 3,420,000,000 J - 0.817399618 ton TNT, Building level

A 16-passenger minibus

A Toyota 1BZ-FPE Coaster 16-passenger minibus has a fuel capacity of 112 L. Surprisingly fueled up compared with a god damn goods truck huh.

Explosion yield per motorcycle = 3,830,400,000 J - 0.915487572 ton TNT, Building level

A 16-tonne truck

A Isuzu FVR34SC-VI manual goods truck has a fuel capacity of 400 L.

Explosion yield per this truck = 13,680,000,000 J - 3.26959847 ton TNT, Large Building level

A 24-tonne or 30-tonne truck

A Isuzu CYZ52SX-7S-VI manual goods truck has a fuel capacity of... 400 L. Same for CYH52TX-7S-VI manual goods truck.

Explosion yield per this truck = 13,680,000,000 J - 3.26959847 ton TNT, Large Building level

An M1 Abrams tank

An M1 Abrams tank can hold up to 1,900 L of gasoline.

Explosion yield per M1 Abrams = 64,980,000,000 J = 15.53059273 ton TNT, City Block level. Wow.

A family gas cylinder

A family gas cylinder contains 12 L of gasoline.

Explosion yield per family gas cylinder = 410,400,000 J = 0.0980879541 ton TNT, Small Building level

An oil tank or barrel

A standard oil barrel can carry roughly 170 L refined oil, including gasoline, of course.

Explosion yield per barrel oil = 5,814,000,000 J - 1.38957935 ton TNT, Building level+

Propane tanks

Please follow User blog:Votron5/Calculations for Common Feats#Blowing Up a Propane Tank, thanks.

Oil tanker on trucks

Here - I am talking the oil tanker as the goods on the trailer of the goods truck. Not the goods truck itself. It holds MUCH more oil than the goods truck itself.

Explosion yield per tanker on a 16-tonne truck = 34.2 MJ/L * 12000 L = 4.104E+11 J or 98.08795411 ton TNT, City Block level+

Explosion yield per tanker on a 24-tonne truck = 34.2 MJ/L * 18000 L = 6.156E+11 J or 147.1319312 ton TNT, Multi-City Block level

Explosion yield per tanker on a 30-tonne truck = 34.2 MJ/L * 23000 L = 7.866E+11 J or 188.001912 ton TNT, Multi-City Block level

Destruction of objects

Destroying one whole door

Another website says the standard size for a door is 203.2 cm tall, 91.44 cm wide, and 3.334 cm thick. (In case the website link does not work, here is a backup.)

Page backup

Volume destroyed is 203.2 cm tall, 91.44 cm wide, and 3.334 cm = 61947.74707 cc

Destroying one handcuff chain

Pic

Distance between cuffs: 2.00" or 5.08 cm (measured at 63 px)

Chain thickness = 4 px = 0.322539683 cm

Chain opening thickness = 4 px = 0.322539683 cm

Chain opening length = 22 px = 1.773968254 cm

Chain volume = 1.773968254 * 0.322539683^2 * 2 + 0.322539683^3 * 6 = 0.57042478 cc

Pulverisation of steel = 1000 J/cc

Energy required to destroy 1 chain in a handcuff to rip off it = 1000 * 0.57042478 = 570.4247804 J (Street level)

Pulling force is 2200 N or 224.26095 kg on Earth (Athletic human+).

Destroying a private car

Here I would like to recalculate the energy required to destroy a private car because I wish to recalculate the full value of destruction of a whole private car. (This will be useful in estimation of further calculations.)

Mass and Weight of Materials

I will start from a weight of a Toyota Corolla CVT XSE private car which is 2885 lbs or 1311.363636 kg

as of 2015, The average vehicle uses 397 lbs of aluminum. Or 180.454545 kg at 13.7608% of the car.

The highest amount of copper used in an average conventional car is 49 lbs. or 22.2727 kg at 1.6984% of the car.

The amount of glass in an average vehicle is 100 lbs. or 45.45454545 kg at 3.4662% of the car

Plastic makes up 10% of the weight of a car. or 131.1363636 kg

Tires are made up of 14% natural rubber and 27% synthetic rubber with an average weight of 25 lbs. or 11.3398 kg. 14% of the tires is 1.5875720000000002 kg. 27% is 3.0617460000000003 kg. Since there are 4 tires we will time these numbers by 4. The total weight lf natural rubber is 6.350288 kg, or 0.4843% of the car. The total weight of synthetic rubber is 12.246984 kg, or 0.9339% of the car.

The amount of cast iron in an average car is about 87.9 kg. or 6.7029%.

It says that on average 900 kg of steel is used in the making of a vehicle ...

EXCEPT here also says 725.5 kg of steel is used in the making of a vehicle.

So I would just say the rest of the weight is made of steel, that is 825.5481825 kg or 62.9534% of the car.

These all accounts for one total 100% of the weight for the car for the fragmentation of one whole car.

Density of Materials

Aluminum = 2.7 g/cm³

Copper = 8.96 g/cm³

Glass = an average of 5 g/cm³

Plastic = and average of 2.235 g/cc (http://www.tregaltd.com/img/density%20of%20plastics[1].pdf)

Natural Rubber = 0.92 g/cm³

Synthetic Rubber = Wewill use polybutadiene since it is mostly used in car tires. 0.925 g/cm^3

Cast Iron = an average density of 7.3 g/cm³

Steel = an average of 7.9 g/cm³

Volume of Materials

Aluminum = 66835.01684 cm³

Copper = 2485.795455 cm³

Glass = 9090.909091 cm³

Plastic = 58673.9882 cm³

Natural Rubber = 6902.486957 cm³

Synthetic Rubber = 13239.9827 cm³

Cast Iron = 12041.09589 cm³

Steel = 104499.7699 cm³

Energy to Fragment Materials

To find shear strength from tensile strength, just times the ultimate tensile strength by 0.60.

Cast Iron = 149 MPa or j/cc

Glass = 0.75 j/cc

Aluminium = 40000 PSI = 275.79 megapascales = 275.79 J/cc

Copper = 25,000 PSI = 172.36893 MPa = 172.36893 J/cc

Plastic = It is insanely difficult for me to find plastic mechanical properties. Polypropylene will be used since it is used for most cars, especially in their bumpers. an average of 38.7 MPa = 38.7 j/cc

Natural Rubber =0.001 GPa = 1 MPa = 1 J/cc

Synthetic Rubber = 4.285714286 MPa = 4.285714286 J/cc

Steel = 208 j/cc

Total Energy

18432429.29 Joules for all the aluminum

428473.9027 Joules for all the copper

6818.181818 Joules for all the glass

2270683.344 Joules for all the plastic

6902.486957 Joules for all the natural rubber

56742.78302 joules for Synthetic Rubber

1794123.288 Joules for all the iron

21735952.15 Joules for all the steel

Adding this all up is 44,732,125.43 Joules = Small Building level

Energy density for destruction of a car = 163.3936569 J/cc < this will be useful for my following calculations on slicing cars in halves.

Destroying a passenger train

According to the World Wildlife Fund, an average African elephant weighs about 12,000 pounds (5,443 kilograms).

Mass Transit Railways Hong Kong says an average train weighs around 400 tonnes, which is the equivalent of 70 adult African elephants.
Exact mass of whole train = 5443 kg * 70 = 381010 kg.

An MTR Metro Cammell EMU (DC) passenger train is an 8-car train with legnth 2316 cm, width 311 cm, vehicle height (from base to top of air conditioner flush with crest of roof) 370 cm and "floor height" (from base to floor) 110 cm. It is made of aluminium.

Mass of one train = 381010 kg / 8 = 47626.25 kg.

Aluminium is 2.7 g/cm in density and 275.79 J/cc in shear strength.

Volume of aluminium for whole train = 381010 / 0.0027 = 141114814.8 cm^3

Volume of aluminium for one car in a train = 47626.25 / 0.0027 = 17639351.85 cm^3

Type	Volume (cm^3)	Mild fragmentation value (J)	Tier	Violent fragmentation value (J)	Tier	Pulverisation value (J)	Tier
Whole 8-car train	141114814.8	9729513694	2.325409583 ton TNT, Large building	19459027389	4.650819166 ton TNT, Large building	38918054778	9.301638331 ton TNT, Large building+

The top speed of this train is 90 km/h or 25 m/s

Kinetic energy = 119065625 J or 0.028457367 ton TNT (Small building)

Destroying an LCD Television

A "22-inch screen" LCD television

Screen diagonal = 55 cm at 1920:1080

Screen width ~= 48 cm

Screen height ~= 27 cm

LCD glass substrates are very thin and usually is around 0.3 mm to 0.7 mm thick or 0.07 cm

Glass volume = 48 * 27 * 0.07 = 90.72 cc

Violent fragmentation energy for glass = 1 J/cc

Energy to destroy glass part = 90.72 * 1 = 90.72 J

Glass is made of α-quartz whose density is 2.648 g/cc so the glass weight is 0.24022656 kg

Since the whole TV panel (without stand) is 2.55 kg, the panel without glass is 2.30977344 kg.

A television is mostly made of thermoplastics like polyethylene, which has a density of 1.1 g/cc and UTS of 55 MPa, i.e. shear strength = 60% UTS = 33 J/cc.

Plastic portion volume = 2.30977344 kg * 1000 / 1.1 g/cc = 2099.794036 cc

Energy to destroy volume of plastic = 2099.794036 * 33 = 69293.2032 J

Energy to destroy one whole LCD TV panel (without stand) = 69293.2032 J + 90.72 J = 69383.9232 J (Wall Level)

Think about it - destroying a quarter of it still yields 69383.9232 J / 4 = 17345.9808 J (Wall Level)

Punching an LCD Television

Usually it means punching a fist-shaped hole with a 4.5 cm radius.

Volume for left + right frames = 4.88 * 30.8 * (51.23 - 47.93665454) = 495.0029957 cc

Material weight (assume 90% hollowness = 495.0029957 cc * 1.1 * 10% = 0.05445033 kg

Volume for bottom + right frames = 4.88 * 47.93665454 * (30.8 - 47.93665454) = 897.2727047 cc

Material weight (assume 90% hollowness = 897.2727047 cc * 1.1 * 10% 0.098699998 kg

Material weight for panel without glass is 2.30977344 kg - 0.05445033 kg - 0.098699998 kg = 2.156623113 kg

Assume solid volume, object volume = Material volume for back = 2.156623113 kg * 1000 / 1.1 g/cc = 1960.566466 cc

Thickness of back = 1960.566466 / 47.93665454 / 26.96436818 = 1.516783515 cm

Volume of TV glass punched = 0.07 * 4.5^2 * pi = 1.979203372 cc

Energy applied to punch TV glass = 1.979203372 J

Volume of TV back punched = 1.516783515 * 4.5^2 * pi = 42.88604353 cc

Energy applied to punch TV back = 1415.239437 J

Energy required to punch through an LCD TV = 1.979203372 + 1415.239437 = 1417.21864 J (Street level)

Destroying a CRT Television

A CRT TV

Screen width = 26.4 cm ; Screen height = 19.8 cm ; Screen diagonal = 33 cm

Set depth = 36.068 cm ; Set width = 36.322 cm ; Set height = 32.004 cm ; Set weight = 9.5 kg

Glass thickness = 1 cm

Glass volume = 1 cm * 26.4 cm * 19.8 cm = 522.72 cc

Destruction energy of screen glass = 522.72 J

Frame width on height = 36.322 - 26.4 = 9.922 cm

Frame height on width = 32.004 - 19.8 = 12.204 cm

Area of frame on height = 26.4 * 12.204 = 322.1856 cm^2

Area of frame on width = 19.8 * 9.922 = 196.4556 cm^2

Area of frame on corner = 9.922 * 12.204 = 121.088088 cm^2

Area of frames = 639.729288 cm^2

Volume of frame = 639.729288 cm^2 * 36.068 = 23073.75596 cc

Material volume of frame (90% hollowness) = 2307.375596 cc

Back thickness (assume 1/2 of Frame width on height) = 9.922 / 2 = 4.961 cm

Volume of back = 2593.21392 cc

Material volume of back (90% hollowness) = 259.321392 cc

Material volume of plastic for back and frame = 2307.375596 cc + 259.321392 cc = 2566.696988 cc

Destruction energy of plastic portion = 2566.696988 cc * 33 J/cc = 84701.0006 J

Glass weight = 522.72 cc * 2.648 g/cc = 1.38416256 kg

Weight of plastic = 2566.696988 * 1.1 = 2.823366687 kg

A television is mainly made of glass for the screen, plastic for the frame and lead for the cathode ray tube part.

Weight of lead = 9.5 - 1.38416256 - 2.823366687 = 5.292470753 kg

Lead density = 11.34 g/cc

Lead volume = 5.292470753 * 1000 / 11.34 = 466.7081793 cc

UTS of lead = 18 MPa, shear strength = lead = 10.8 MPa

Destruction energy of lead portion = 5040.448336 J

Total CRT TV destruction energy = 90264.16894 J (Wall level)

Punching a CRT Television Screen

Volume of TV glass punched = 1 * 4.5^2 * pi = 63.61725124 cc

Energy applied to punch TV glass = 63.61725124 J (Human level)

Remember kids, throwing objects on the television is a bad idea.

Energy required to shatter a big cup

Picture
Your typical small cup (sold here)

Cup interior height = 495 px (= cm)
Cup interior diameter = 503 px (= cm)
Cup wall thickness = 27 px (= cm)
Cup bottom thickness = 65 px (= cm)
Cup interior volume (i.e. cup capacity) = pi * (503/2)^2 * 495 px^3 = 98362837.94 px^3 = 310 cc
Cup volume occupied = pi x (503/2+27)^2 x (495+65) = 136454637.1 px^3 = 430.0499902 cc
Cup material volume = 120.0499902 cc

I deduced the size of the cup from the pixels. This will be useful later.

Assuming all the potential of the drop turns into the energy to crack a cup

Fragmentation energy of glass = 0.75 J/cc
Fragmentation energy of glass cup = 90.03749268 J (Human level+)
Density of glass = 0.0025 kg per cc
Mass of cup = 0.300124976 kg
Theoretical height required to shatter the whole cup = PE / m / g = 30.58103976 m

Fragmentation energy of ceramic = 3.4 J/cc
Fragmentation energy of ceramic cup = 408.1699668 J (Street level)
Density of ceramic = 0.002 to 0.006 kg per cc. Average of say 0.004 kg per cc
Mass of cup = 0.480199961 kg
Theoretical height required to shatter the whole cup = PE / m / g = 86.64627931 m

The height required to shatter a whole cup seems much higher than what an angry diner needs to destroy a cup. Because the dinner does not need to destroy the whole cup given the height of the table from the floor. Usually the height fallen will make the cup crack with a crack that split a cup in two (or a small piece off). The cup just does not turn into grains or even dust.

Energy to fragment a cup by forming a 1 mm vertical crack

Volume of the crack on the cup = 0.1 cm * (0.395859111 cm * 7.25741704 cm * 2 + 0.952994157 cm * (7.374708628 cm + 0.395859111 cm * 2) = 1.352838639 cc

Assuming all the potential of the drop turns into the energy to crack a cup

Fragmentation energy of glass = 0.75 J/cc
Fragmentation energy of glass cup crack = 1.014628979 J (Below Average Human level+)
Density of glass = 0.0025 kg per cc
Mass of the whole cup = 0.300124976 kg
Theoretical height required to shatter the whole cup = PE / m / g = 0.344616539 m

Fragmentation energy of ceramic = 3.4 J/cc
Fragmentation energy of ceramic cup crack = 4.599651372 J (Below Average Human level+)
Density of ceramic = 0.002 to 0.006 kg per cc. Average of say 0.004 kg per cc
Mass of the whole cup = 0.480199961 kg
Theoretical height required to shatter the whole cup = PE / m / g = 0.976413529 m

Much more realistic for a cup breaking feat.

Given a vase weighing around 0.3 kg for a small vase and a thin wall, knocking it over will pretty much break a vase with cracks around the vase. But the values above refers to total destruction of the whole vase - with a lot of cracks all over the vase (and all over the floor) - breaking a vase by knocking over it is much easier than punching a vase to make it explode into oblivion.

Energy to break an airplane wing with a punch

“	The minimum skin thickness on, for example, DC-8 and DC-9 airplanes is .127cm (0.050 in.). Thickness varies between airplanes based on a number of factors. Most important is the load distribution the airplane will experience when it is flying. On another typical commercial airplane type, the 727, minimum skin thickness is .097 cm (0.038 inches). It may be useful in determining the energy required to break an airplane wing.	„
	~ howthingsfly.si.edu

A wing of Boeing C-17 Globemaster III has a rough chord length of 6.86m and a material thickness of 0.127cm for one wall (assuming breaking two walls for each wing to break).

A human fist can be 6 cm wide.
Volume = 686 cm x 0.127 cm x 2 x 6 cm = 1045.464 cc
Destruction energy of aluminium = 40000 PSI = 275.79 megapascales = 275.79 J/cc
Energy required to break an aircraft wing in 1 hit = 1045.464 cc x 275.79 J/cc = 288328.5166 J (Wall Level)

This may be useful in determining the AP of Dan Hibiki as he can punch and break a wing of an aircraft.

Energy to completely destroy a bowling ball

A bowling ball's diameter varies from 21.59 cm to 22.83 cm. I shall average them to have 22.21 cm. Which means radius is 11.105 cm

Volume = pi * 4/3 * r^3 = 5736.464337 cm^3

Bowling balls are usually made of polyurethane. UTS of polyurethane is 39 MPa.

Destruction energy (shattering the whole bowling ball) = 5736.464337 * 39 (ultimate tensile strength) = 223722.1091 Joules (Wall level)

Denting energy (permanently disfiguring the said bowling ball) = 5736.464337 * 39 * 0.6 (shear strength) = 134233.2655 Joules (Wall level)

Sawing and clean cutting feats

Very often we see things being cut clean in halves as if they have been sawed through. Here we shall pick a few common feats to calculate. Some may be actually recycled from my previous calculations.

Cutting a bowling ball in half

(ditto)

Saw thicknesses are around 1.5 mm to 3.0 mm. I say 0.225 cm thickness is appropriate.

Volume cut = pi * 11.105^2 * 0.225 = 87.17049589 cm^3

Energy yield = 87.17049589 * 39 = 3399.64934 Joules (Street level)

Cutting through a table

Please go to here for full destruction of a table.

This site suggests rectangular tables are 36 to 40 inches wide, and 48 inches for a four-people table. I'll take 40 inches as the width.

48 inches is 121.92 cm. 40 inches is 101.6 cm. The thickness is 3.175 cm.

Diagonals for that is (101.6^2 + 121.2^2)^0.5 cm = 158.7042734 cm

Saw thicknesses are around 1.5 mm to 3.0 mm. I say 0.225 cm thickness is appropriate.

Now, volume cut off would likely be pulverised. Also, Those tables are likely made of different material.

Stabbing through a plate armor

A "knight sword" (or broad sword) blade is typically 31 3/8 inches long, 2 inches wide, and .192 inches thick. That should translate into a stabbing area of 2 inches (5.08 cm) by 0.192 inch (0.48768 cm).

Here says the typical full plate armor is typically 3 mm and by common sense is made of copper or even high grade steel.

The minimum volume to destroy would be 5.08cm * 0.48768cm * 0.3cm = 0.74322432 cc?
Nah expect the width effected by blade width and blade thickness be doubled, i.e 2^2 * 0.74322432 cc = 2.97289728 cc

Frag/V Frag/Pulv energy of copper is assumed to be the low/median/high end of Brinell hardness of copper at 235–878 MPa, i.e. 235/556.5/878 J/cc.

Respective energy required: 698.6308608 J / 1654.417336 J / 2610.203812 J (Street level)

Frag/V Frag/Pulv energy of steel is given here as 208/568.5/1000 J/cc.

Stabbing a human head at the neck

This site says, at BMI of 23.0 and 25.0, males had neck circumference 35.7cm and 37.5cm, while females had it at of 32.2cm and 33.5cm respectively. This averages the neck circumference to be 34.175 cm and radius be ~5.43912018 cm.

C3 vertebral body: The vertebral body is a cylinder. The mean height is 15.1 mm and the radius 7.34 mm.

The shear strength of bones is 51.6 MPa or J/cc

Volume of neck stabbed = width of blade * thickness of blade * 2 * radius of neck = 5.08 * 0.48768 * 2 * 5.43912018 = 26.94990932 cc

Volume of neck bone stabbed = pi * radius of C3^2 * thickness of blade = pi * 0.734^2 * 0.48768 = 0.825423707 cc

Energy to stab the neck bone = 51.6 * 0.825423707 = 42.59186326 J

Volume of neck flesh stabbed = 26.12448561 cc

Energy to stab the neck flesh = 337.0058644 J

Energy to stab the neck = 42.59186326 J + 337.0058644 J = 379.5977276 J (Street level)

Slashing a human head off at the neck

Volume of neck slashed = width of blade * area of neck = 0.48768 * pi * 5.43912018^2 = 45.32545034 cc

Volume of neck bone slashed = pi * radius of C3^2 * thickness of blade = pi * 0.734^2 * 0.48768 = 0.825423707 cc

Energy to slash the neck bone = 42.59186326 J

Volume of neck flesh slashed = 44.50002663 cc

Energy to slash the neck flesh = 574.0503435 J

Energy to slash the neck = 42.59186326 J + 574.0503435 J = 616.6422068 J (Street level)

Stabbing a human body at the waist

Here says the average American waist circumference is 34 to 35 inches - averaged to 34.5 in or 87.63 cm. That makes the human waist width ~32 cm and waist thickness ~23.06716634 cm.

T3 Vertabral body: The verabral body is cylinder shaped. When finding the average of the anterior and posterior height means of the vertebrae, I get 16.9 mm. Its mean diameter is 24.34 mm.

The shear strength of bones is 51.6 MPa or J/cc

Volume of waist stabbed = width of blade * thickness of blade * thickness of waist = 5.08 * 0.48768 * 23.06716634 = 57.14693006 cc

Volume of waist bone stabbed = pi * radius of T3^2 * thickness of blade = pi * 2.434^2 * 0.48768 = 2.269164468 cc

Energy to stab the waist bone = 51.6 * 2.269164468 = 117.0888865 J

Volume of waist flesh stabbed = 54.87776559 cc

Energy to stab the waist flesh = 707.9231762 J

Energy to stab the waist = 117.0888865 J + 707.9231762 J = 825.0120627 J (Street level)

Slashing a human body off at the waist

a.k.a. horizontally cutting a human off

Volume of waist slashed = width of blade * area of waist = 0.48768 * pi * 32 * 23.06716634 = 282.7281506 cc

Volume of waist bone stabbed = pi * radius of T3^2 * thickness of blade = pi * 2.434^2 * 0.48768 = 2.269164468 cc

Energy to slash the waist bone = 117.0888865 J

Volume of waist flesh slashed = 280.4589862 cc

Energy to slash the waist flesh = 3617.920922 J

Energy to slash the waist = 3617.920922 + 117.0888865 = 3735.009808 J (Street level)

Cutting off a tree

Please follow here for energy required to destroy one whole tree trunk.

Please also familiarise yourself with how much energy it takes to destroy certain volumes of different kinds of wood.

Size of Tree

A fully grown white oak = 30 m height, 1.27 meter diameter.

In fiction, very few tree cutting feats are following what here are advising. Either the tree is cut horizontally and miraculously it fell on one direction, or it is cut at 30 degrees from the horizon and the tree slides down following the slope. I will discuss both. I will also include vertical cutting.

Makes me think of this

Ah this is for cutting a FULLY GROWN tree. So adjust the size ratio when you cut a tree of different size say a tree of only 7.5 m tall in height and 31.75 cm thick in diameter.

For quick calculation I will also be including that "smaller tree" as well.

Total Destruction Value of a tree

Total volume of:
Big tree = 3000 cm * pi * (127 cm / 2)^2 = 38003060.93 cc
Smaller tree = 750 cm * pi * (31.75 cm / 2)^2 = 593797.8271 cc

Total fragmentation energy of:
Big tree = 38003060.93 * 18.3401 = 696979937.8 J = 0.166582203 ton TNT (Small Building level+)
Smaller tree = 593797.8271 * 18.3401 = 10890311.53 J = 0.002602847 ton TNT (Wall level+)

Total violent fragmentation energy of:
Big tree = 38003060.93 * 19.5811 = 744141736.4 J = 0.177854144 ton TNT (Small Building level+)
Smaller tree = 593797.8271 * 19.5811 = 11627214.63 J = 0.002778971 ton TNT (Wall level+)

Total pulverisation energy of:
Big tree = 38003060.93 * 61.3633 = 2331993229 J = 0.557359758 ton TNT (Building level)
Smaller tree = 593797.8271 * 61.3633 = 36437394.2 J = 0.008708746 ton TNT (Small Building level)

Vertical cutting off a tree

While saw thicknesses are around 1.5 mm to 3.0 mm, I take 0.225 cm thickness as appropriate.

Volume sawed:
Big tree = 3000 cm * 127 cm * 0.225 cm = 85725 cc
Smaller tree = 750 cm * 31.75 cm * 0.225 cm = 5357.8125 cc

Sawed part is pulverised at 61.3633 J/cc

Energy in a vertical saw/cut:
Big tree = 85725 * 61.3633 = 5260368.893 J (Wall level)
Smaller tree = 5357.8125 * 61.3633 = 328773.0558 J (Wall level)

Horizontal cutting off a tree

Volume sawed:
Big tree = pi() * (127 cm / 2)^2 * 0.225 cm = 2850.22957 cc
Smaller tree = pi() * (31.75 cm / 2)^2 * 0.225 cm = 178.1393481 cc

Sawed part is pulverised (ditto)

Energy in a vertical saw/cut:
Big tree = 2850.22957 * 61.3633 = 174899.4922 J (Wall level)
Smaller tree = 178.1393481 * 61.3633 = 10931.21826 (Street level+)

Sloped cutting off a tree

Volume sawed:
Big tree = pi() * (127 cm / 2) * (127 cm / cos(30 degree) / 2) * 0.225 cm = 3291.161619 cc
Smaller tree = pi() * (31.75 cm / 2) * (31.75 cm / cos(30 degree) / 2) * 0.225 cm = 205.6976012 cc

Sawed part is (ditto)

Energy in a vertical saw/cut:
Big tree = 3291.161619 * 61.3633 = 201956.5378 J (Wall level)
Smaller tree = 205.6976012 * 61.3633 = 12622.28361 (Street level+)

Horizontal hammering off a tree

Sometimes fictional characters uses a punch or even a hammer to "horizontally cut" a tree. As a result, the tree is cut at a "thickness" equal to its diameter.

Big tree = pi() * (127 cm / 2)^2 * 127 cm = 1608796.246 cc
Smaller tree = pi() * (31.75 cm / 2)^2 * 31.75 cm = 25137.44135 cc

Energy taken:
Big tree = 1608796.246 * 61.3633 = 98721046.69 J (Small Building level)
Smaller tree = 25137.44135 * 61.3633 = 1542516.355 J (Wall level)

Slicing a private car or cab

Now, remember how it takes 44732125.43 J energy to "completely destroy" a car of 273769.0451 cc?

What about we just cut it in half? Like cut it horizontally, vertically from the front or vertically from the side?

To quickly calculate this, we assume a car's volume distribution to be six rectangular sides with equal thickness. We have the height, width and length of a Toyota Corolla CVT XSE private car to be 145.542 cm, 176.022 cm and 465.074 cm respectively.

Hypothetical destruction energy by volume of this vehicle is = 44732125.43 J / 273769.0451 cc = 163.3936569 J/cc
Hypothetical destruction energy by weight of this vehicle is = 44732125.43 J / 1311.363636 kg = 34111.15284 J/kg
Remember the two value as they will be useful.

Area of front/back = 145.542 cm * 176.022 cm = 25618.59392 cm^2
Area of a side = 145.542 cm * 465.074 cm = 67687.80011 cm^2
Area of a top/bottom = 176.022 cm * 465.074 cm = 81863.25563 cm^2

Since there are 6 sides of sideway/front/top, the total surface area = (25618.59392 + 67687.80011 + 81863.25563) * 2 = 350339.2993 cm^2

For the volume to be evenly distributed among the surfaces,

Volume distributed on two front/back = 25618.59392 * 2 / 350339.2993 * 273769.0451 cc = 40038.77389 cc
Volume distributed on two sides = 67687.80011 * 2 / 350339.2993 * 273769.0451 cc = 105787.8716 cc
Volume distributed on two top/bottom = 81863.25563 * 2 / 350339.2993 * 273769.0451 cc = 127942.3996 cc

Implicit thickness = 273769.0451 cc / 350339.2993 cm^2 = 0.781439723 cm (this will aso be the assumed width of the cut as well)

Volume of cut by:

A vertical cut from the side = (145.542 + 176.022) * 2 * 0.781439723^2 = 392.7248533 cc
A vertical cut from the front = (145.542 + 465.074) * 2 * 0.781439723^2 = 745.7429283 cc
A horizontal cut = (176.022 + 465.074) * 2 * 0.781439723^2 = 782.9680329 cc

Energy in destruction by:

A vertical cut from the side = 163.3936569 J/cc * 392.7248533 cc = 64168.74994 J (Wall level)
A vertical cut from the front = 163.3936569 J/cc * 745.7429283 cc = 121849.6642 J (Wall level)
A horizontal cut = 163.3936569 J/cc * 782.9680329 cc = 127932.0102 J (Wall level)

Slicing other vehicles

Now we know the fragmentation energy distribution within a car given its volume and weight, we can assume the fragmentation energy of one whole vehicle to be proportional to the mass of the motor vehicle produced, assume their material composition ratios are the same.

For instance, the fragmentation energy of one whole Isuzu NQR75 goods truck will be 44732125.43 J / 1311.363636 kg * 9000 kg = 307000375.5 J (Small Building Level)

Now, the total destruction value and slicing value of different vehicles are as follows:

Vehicle model	Mass of vehicle (kg)	Total fragmentation energy (J)	Volume of materials in making up a motor vehicle (cc)	Vehicle Height (cm)	Vehicle Width (cm)	Vehicle Length (cm)	Area on two front/back (cm^2)	Area on two sides (cm^2)	Area on on two top/bottom (cm^2)	Volume distributed on two front/back (cc)	Volume distributed on two sides (cc)	Volume distributed on two top/bottom (cc)	Induced thickness (cm)	Volume of cut by a vertical cut from the side (cc)	Volume of cut by a vertical cut from the front (cc)	Volume of cut by a horizontal cut (cc)	Energy in destruction by a vertical cut from the side (J)	Energy in destruction by a vertical cut from the front (J)	Energy in destruction by a horizontal cut (J)

Other human body harming feats

Biting off a tongue

Some ancient Asian stories involve people committing suicide by biting off their tongues. How efficient is dying in this way? (Disclaimer: Do not try this yourself.)

The average length was 9.0 cm (range: 7.5–10.5). The average width was 2.9 cm (range: 2.5–3.0) for the anterior tongue, 6.4 cm (range: 6.0–6.6) for the midtongue, and 5.0 cm (range: 4.0–6.0) for the posterior tongue. The depth was measured using the ATPase stained sections (n = 5). The average tongue depths in the medial and lateral aspects of the tongue were 14/11 mm for the blade, 17/12 mm for the body, and 17/11 mm for the base.

tldr I take 9 cm as length, 4.6833 cm as width and 1.3667 cm as thickness.

Findings for the size of the teeth are as follows:

Tooth	Maxillary arch (cm)	Mandibular arch (cm)	Area (cm^2)
Central incisor	0.841	0.513	0.431433
Lateral incisor	0.639	0.566	0.361674
Canine	0.741	0.658	0.487578
Premolar	0.659	0.67	0.44153
Total	(2 sets of different teeth on a jaw)	-	3.44443

Volume of tongue actually bitten off = 3.44443 * 1.3667 = 4.707502481 cc

Depending the force applied by your jaw, the portion of the tongue can be fragmented, violently fragmented or pulverised. The energy yield, depending on the chew on the human flesh, is hence as follows:

(Fragmented) 4.707502481 cc x 4.4 J/cc = 20.71301092 J (Below Average Human level)
(Violently fragmented) 4.707502481 cc x 7.533 J/cc = 35.46161619 J (Below Average Human level)
(Pulverised) 4.707502481 cc x 12.9 J/cc = 60.726782 J (Human level)

(This is actually within normal understanding, considering one eats duck tongues and ox tongues as snacks or dishes.)

Usually one who bites off the own tongue dies very slowly by blood loss from biting off the artery that links to the tongue, and it takes a long time with long pain to die this way.

Do not commit suicide and especially do not do so by biting your tongue, thanks.

Also, this is for cutting off a tongue (by biting). The force to rip off a tongue may involve ripping off some other muscles in a human mouth cavity, which will involve much larger energy requirement as human flesh is quite malleable and ductile.

Ripping out a head from a human body

Credits to KLOL506 for providing the video. Also the producer Vsauce3.

Vsauce3 says it takes 5,000 Newtons of force to pull a human head from a human body.

A human head has a height of 23.9 cm for 99th percentile and 21.8 cm for 50th percentile.
Human head length (according to Wikipedia) is 8.6" or 0.21844 m for an average female and 9.1" or 0.23114 m for an average male.

Force to pull off one head = 5000 N >>>> Lifting strengh = 509.8581065 kg force on Earth (Class 1)

Energy to pull off one's head =

(Low end from female head): 5000 N * 0.21844 m = 1,092.20 J (Street)

(High end from male head): 5000 N * 0.23114 m = 1,155.70 J (Street)

Ripping out a spine from a human body

Credits to KLOL506 for providing the video. Also the producer Vsauce3.

Vsauce3 says it takes 1,000,000 Newtons of force to shatter a spine from a human body and to rip out a human head with some spines attached.

That translates to 1,000,000 N / 9.80665 ~= 101,971.6213 kg force on Earth (Class K) Supports Mortal Kombat characters' lifting strength in ripping off opponents' head.

That also mean to rip a head upward the Mortal Kombat style. The spine on average is 43-45 cm long.

(Low end from female head + spine): 1,000,000 N * (0.43 + 0.21844) m = 648,440 J (Wall Level)

(High end from male head + spine): 1,000,000 N * (0.45 + 0.23114) m = 681,140 J (Wall Level) What a cursed number to Spino

Breaking a nose with a punch

(Courtesy from Votron5)
"Impactor energy ranged from 241 to 815 J and resulted in peak forces of 2010 to 3890 N."

Therefore energy required to break a nose range from 241 J (Athletic Human level+) to 815 J (Street level).

Note: This is a striking strength feat so no lifting strength should be calculated from this feat.

Pushing other humans

An average person's pushing force: 480-600N

A normal adult US man's height is 1.753 m

The human body arm (upper arm + forearm) is roughly equal to (0.1725+0.1585) of total body height.

Therefore a normal man can push at an energy of:

Low end: ((0.1725+0.1585)×1.753×480)J = 278.51664 J (Athletic Human)

High end: ((0.1725+0.1585)×1.753×600)J = 348.1458 J (Street)

Lifting strength =

(low end) 480 N / 9.81 = 48.92966 kg (At least Below average human+, possibly Average human)

(high end) 600 N / 9.81 = 61.16208 kg (Average human)

Count how many "athletic human" or "peak human" your character can push against now.

Bending

To have an idea of how bending works please familiarize yourself here first.

Okay, let's bend things.

Bending a solid baseball bat

A baseball bat is no thicker than 7.0 cm in diameter at the thickest part and no more than 106.7 cm in length.

I shall assume the baseball bat is bent at 90 degrees in the middle.

Bend length = sheet thickness = 7.0 cm = 2.755905512 inch

Die opening = 106.7 cm / 2^0.5 = 75.44829355 cm = 29.70405258 inch

Ultimate tensile strength of aluminium = ~455 MPa = 65992.17079 psi

(Set Factor of safety = 1)

Force to apply = 59746 pounds = 293298.5455 Newton = 29.89791493 tonnes under Earth gravity (Class 50+)

Bending energy = 293298.5455 N * 0.7544829355 m / 2 = 110644.3738 J (Wall Level)

Bending a hollow baseball bat

Nowadays aluminium baseball bats should weigh only 0.94 kg of aluminium. Which translates to 940 g / 2.7 g/cc = 348.1481481 cc = ~ 106.7 cm length by 2.038238001 cm diameter of aluminium

Bend length = sheet thickness = 2.038238001 cm = 0.802455906 inch

Die opening = 106.7 cm / 2^0.5 = 75.44829355 cm = 29.70405258 inch

Ultimate tensile strength of aluminium = ~455 MPa = 65992.17079 psi

(Set Factor of safety = 1)

Force to apply = 985 pounds = 4835.454545 Newton = 0.492910759 tonnes under Earth gravity (Class 1)

Bending energy = 4835.454545 N * 0.7544829355 m / 2 = 1824.13397 J (Street Level)

You should see the bat collapse or even break in the middle part when you actually witness this feat and when what you see follows real world physics.

Bending a weightlifting barbell

A men's Olympic weightlifting barbell is a metal bar that is 2.2 metres (7.2 ft) long and weighs 20 kilograms (44 lb). The outer ends are 50 millimetres (2.0 in) in diameter, while the grip section is 28 millimetres (1.1 in) in diameter, and 1.31 metres (4.3 ft) in length.

I shall assume the barbell is bent at 90 degrees in the middle holding at the two ends of the grip section.

Bend length = sheet thickness = 2.8 cm = 1.1 inch

Die opening = 131 cm / 2^0.5 = 75.44829355 cm = 36.48670991 inch

Ultimate tensile strength of high strength steel = 760 MPa = 110228.6809 psi

(Set Factor of safety = 1)

Force to apply = 3703 pounds = 1.853044204 tonnes under Earth gravity = 18178.36364 Newton (Class 5)

Bending energy = 18178.36364 N * 0.9267624317 m / 2 = 8423.512244 J (Street Level+)

Bending a dining spoon

A dining spoon.

Sheet thickness = 0.3 cm = 0.118110236 inch

Die opening = 5 cm /2 / sin(45 deg) = 3.535533906 cm = 1.391942483 inch

Die ratio = 11.78511302

Bend length = 1 cm = 0.393700787 inch

Ultimate tensile strength of structural steel = 400 MPa = 58015 psi

Bending force = 290 lb = 0.145120934 ton = 1423.636364 N (Athletic Human)

Bending energy = 1423.636364 N * 0.03535533906 / 2 = 25.16657317 J (Below Average Human)

Not quite an attack potency feat, but still some lifting strength feat.

Also, if a character bend a dining spoon with one finger, count his/her/its fingers on all hands and get the aggregate lifting strength of the whole character.

Bending a light post

A light pole

Square pole side length is 9.5 inch or 24.13 cm.

Pole height is 89 inch or 226.06 cm. Die opening = 62.93250353 inch or 159.848559 cm

Unfilled high density polyethylene has an ultimaste tensile strength of 3400 psi = 23.44217475 MPa

(Factor of safety = 1)

Bending force = 62645 lbs = 31.34862385 62645 ton (Class 50)

Bending energy = 31.34862385 * 1000 * 9.81 * 159.848559 / 2 / 100 = 245791.1367 J (Wall level)

Projectile feats

Reacting to an arrow

Thanks from Votron5 for providing the calculation.

Just... the so-called arrows can come from an ancient arrow/bolt (10 grams) moving at ~ 48.53115213 m/s, a modern arrow moving at ~ 68.58 m/s, or an advanced arrow/bolt moving at 106.68 m/s.

Also, his model is:

• Required dodging speed = (Distance the character moved in meters) x (Speed of projectile in meters/s) / (Distance the projectile was away from the character when he/she started to move in meters)
• Distance the projectile was away from the character when he/she started to move = Distance the projectile was away from the character when the projectile started moving - Distance the projectile moved towards the character before he/she started to move

So under his assumption, a modern bolt would have travelled 26.67 m within 0.25 s. Which means, an ordinary human with ordinary reactions cannot dodge a modern bolt without aim dodging.

Catching an arrow

Arrows usually weigh about 18 grams and fly at ~ 68.58 m/s. KE to stop it equals to (0.5 * 68.58^2 * 0.018) = 42.3289 J (Human level).

Ancient bolts usually weigh about 10 grams and fly at ~ 48.53115213 m/s. KE to stop it equals to (0.5 * 48.53115213^2 * 0.01) = 11.77636364 J (Below Average Human level).

A modern bolt of 15 GPI and 20 inches weighs 15 x 20 = 300 grain = 19.44 grams and are made of aluminium. It flies at ~ 106.68 m/s. KE to stop it equals to (0.5 * 106.68^2 * 0.01944) = 42.3289 J (Athletic Human level).

Snapping an arrow or bolt

Usually one fictional character snaps an arrow or bolt with minor cracks by a thumb to look cool. 2 cm would be enough.

Type of projectile	Material	Mass (g)	Density (g/cc)	V (cc)	Length (cm)	Area (cm^2)	Crack width (cm)	Volume destroyed (cc)	M frag	Energy - M frag (J)	Tier	Vfrag	Energy - V frag (J)	Tier	Pulv	Energy - Pulv (J)	Tier

Remember: this has to be done by a thumb snap to be considered a feat.

Summoning things from pure energy

Powerful magicians summon things. And for some cases, energy is used directly into summoning things. We know that E = mc^2 stuff and matter-energy conversion should only be used for a calculation if it is clearly stated that this is the progress used. So plug in the formula and learn it yourself.

Or, com'ere.

Lighting feats

Lighting up a planet

Here says a typical classroom takes up an area of 6.7 sq m.

Here recommends a classroom be lightened up at 300 lumen.

This light bulb makes 560 lumen with an electricity consumption rate of 5.5 watts.

The surface area of the earth is 510,072,000 sq km or 5.10072E+14 sq m.

Electric power to light up the Earth like lighting up a classroom = 5.10072E+14 / 6.7 * 300 / 560 * 5.5 W = 2.24312E+14 Watt (1 Watt = 1 J/s okay)

Energy to light up the Earth for a minute = 60 s x 2.24312E+14 Watt = 1.34587E+16 J = 3,216,711.954 ton TNT (Small City level+)

To compare, the shopping center at New York River Mall Plaza recorded a total electricity consumption in 2013 of 1.5 million kilo-watt-hour. This translates into an annual electricity consumption of 5.4 * 10^12 Joules of energy. Energy consumption rate (i.e. power consumption) by the whole plaza (in seconds) = 171232.8767 W.

The electric power to light up the Earth is "just" 1,309,982,354 times the electric power to run a shopping plaza in New York.

Okay, let's go crazy by lighting the whole Earth like bright sunlight.

Electric power to light up the Earth like lighting up a classroom = 5.10072E+14 * 107527 / 560 * 5.5 W = 5.38671E+17 Watt

Energy to light up the Earth for a minute = 60 s x 5.38671E+17 Watt = 3.23203E+19 J = 7,724,728,960 ton TNT (Island level)

Last advice: adjust yourself for lighting up other areas for other periods of time.

Lighting up a courtroom or theatre

Electric power to light up the Earth like lighting up a classroom = 5.10072E+14 * 107527 / 560 * 5.5 W = 5.38671E+17 Watt

Energy to light up the Earth for a minute = 60 s x 5.38671E+17 Watt = 3.23203E+19 J = 7,724,728,960 ton TNT (Island level)

Here recommends a theatre be lightened up at 1000 lumen.

So the power to lighten up a theatre/courtroom/mechanical workshop etc is 1000 / 560 * 5.5 W = 9.821428571 J/s (Below Average Human level)

Assume something shines with light as bright as sunlight... the brightness would be 107527/1000 times brighter than normal theatre lighting power. Yet power to light up would still be 107527 / 1000 * 9.821428571 = 1056.06875 J/s (Street level)

Feats re Melting, Heating and Freezing

Surviving the Heat of Lava

Continued from this.

Part 1 - heat transfer through radiation

Lava can be between 700°C and 1250°C. Given that we likely don´t know the heat of the lava let's work with 700°C (low end), 975°C (mid end) and 1250°C (high end).

Emissivity of Lava is between 0.55 and 0.85. At the given temprature it should be around 0.65.

The average human body surface area is 1.73 m^2.

At last we input all this stats in this calculator. That results in 57184.65661 J/s (low end), 154747.4713 J/s (mid end) and 343182.0965 J/s (high end).

Part 2 - heat transfer through conduction

Human Skin is around 3 mm thick.

It has a thermal conductivity of about 0.209

Normal skin temperature is about 33°C

Now we use this calculator. That gives us 80389.06333 J/s (low end), 113532.98 J/s (mid end) and 146676.8967 J/s (high end).

Total energy equivalent to tank lava per second = radiation energy + conduction energy = 137573.7199 J/s (low end), 268280.4513 J/s (mid end) and 489858.9932 (high end) Wall level

Surviving the Heat of Lava - Maximum internal energy intake

Maximum internal energy intake If an object is heated it usually doesn´t get hotter than the source of the heat. If the object is as hot as the heat source the energy itself emits to its surroundings should be equal to the energy it is infused with.

That means there is a maximum amount of thermal energy an object can take in through a certain source of heat.

In order to calculate this energy we will just measure how much energy will be necessary to heat the object to this temperature, from the point that it has no internal energy, which should be 0K - except normal human skin temperature is about 33°C which translates into 273.16 K + 33 K = 306.16 K.

The specific heat capacity of a human body is 3470 J/ kg°C

Average weight of a grown human is around 62 kg.

We already know lava temperatures from above.

Ultimate energy equivalent to tank lava = 143498380 J (low end), 202661880 J (mid end) and 261825380 J (high end) - all Small Building level

Vaporising the Earth's Ocean

Volume of seawater on Earth = 1.335 * 10^9 km^3 = 1.335E+18 m^3

Average temperature of seawater = 17 °C

Specific heat capacity of sea water at 17 °C = 4006 J / kg°K

The density of surface seawater ranges from about 1020 to 1029 kg/m^3. Here I pick 1024.5 kg/m^3 as a mid point.

Mass of seawater = 1.335E+18 * 1024.5 = 1.36771E+21 kg

Change in temperature = 83 °C

Energy to raise seawater to boiling point = 1.36771E+21 * 83 * 4006 = 4.5476E+26 J = 1.0869E+17 tons TNT

Latent Heat of Vaporization = 2264705.7 J/kg

Energy to vaporise seawater at boiling point = 2264705.7 * 1.36771E+21 = 3.09745E+27 J = 7.4031E+17 tons TNT

Energy to boil all the seawater on Earth = 3.55221E+27 J = 8.49E+17 tons TNT (Multi-Continental level)

Freezing the Earth's Ocean

Yada yada - except:

... near the poles the temperature in equilibrium with the sea ice is about −2 °C - this makes the freezing point of seawater -2 °C

Change in temperature = (17 - -2) = 19 °C

Energy to drop seawater to freezing point = 1.36771E+21 * 19 * 4006 = 1.04102E+26 J = 2.48809E+16 tons TNT

Latent Heat of Fusion = 334000 J/kg

Energy to freeze seawater at fusion point = 334000 * 1.36771E+21 = 4.56814E+26 J = 1.09181E+17 tons TNT

Energy to freeze all the seawater on Earth = 5.60916E+26 J = 1.34062E+17 tons TNT (Multi-Continental level)

Covering the Earth Surface in Fire

“	Fire is hot because the conversion of the weak double bond in molecular oxygen, O2, to the stronger bonds in the combustion products carbon dioxide and water releases energy (418 kJ per 32 g of O2)	„
	~ Wikipedia about fire

The wikipedia has found for me that the surface area of the Earth is 510,072,000 km^2 or 5.10072E+14 m^2.

Because the flame can be as small as a camp fire or as big as dwarfing Mount Everest or even the Karman line, I am giving a table to illustrate different volume of such fire.

20.95% of the Earth air is oxygen.

O2 density is about 1.3311~1.42902 kg/m³. I'll use a low-end because the low end represents the RTP condition.

Yield of burning oxygen = 418000 J / 32 g oxygen

Melting a passenger train

Specific heat capacity of aluminium = 900 J/kg/K

Melting point of aluminium = 660.32 degree Celsius

Heat of fusion of aluminium = 10710 J/mol = 398305.7851 J/kg

Energy to raise aliminium to melting point from room temperature = 381010 * 900 * (660.32-25) = 2.17857E+11 J

Energy to turn aliminium from solid to liquid = 381010 * 398305.7851 = 1.51758E+11 J

Energy to melt a train of aluminium = (2.17857E+11 + 1.51758E+11) = 3.69615E+11 J = 88.34020867 tons TNT (City Block level+)

Vaporising a passenger train

Boiling point of aluminium = 2470 degree Celsius

Heat of vaporisation of aluminium = 284000 J/mol = 10561983.47 J/kg

Okay, First off. To vaporize a human thoroughly at once, let’s assume the temperature change is 1800°F or 982.2°C

The normal human body temperature range is typically stated as 36.5–37.5 °C (97.7–99.5 °F) and we shall use 37°C.

So the temperature change is by 945.2°C

A handy calculator

The average human is 62 kilograms

STEP I

We will start with water.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_water

60% of human mass is water, or 37.2 kilograms.

The heat capacity of water is 4182 joules per kilogram at 20 °C

Plugging the values into this calculator

Heat energy spent to change temperature is 147045142.1 joules

We will use this calculator to find the latent heat of the water, which says water has a latent heat of 2264.7057 kJ/kg.

Plugging in the mass of water gives us 84247052.04 joules

Adding these two values together we get 231292194.1 joules

STEP II

Average amount for body fat is 2.348 kilojoules per kilogram

Fat seems to be 17% of body mass, or 10.54 kilograms going by the numbers shown

Plugging it into the specific heat energy calculator, we get 23391733.98 joules

STEP III

Protein makes up 16% of body mass, which means it makes up 9.92 kilograms of the body

Muscle has a heat capacity of 3.421 kilojoules per kilogram

Plugging it into the specific heat energy calculator, we get 32076609.66 joules.

STEP IV

For minerals, it makes up 6% of body mass, or 3.72 kilograms.

We will bone for this, specifically cortical bone, which is 1.313 kilojoules per kilogram.

(ditto) we get 4616697.072 joules

STEP V

Carbohydrates make up merely 1% of human weight, or 0.62 kilograms

Heat energy of sugar (carbohydrate) is 1.255 kilojoules per kilogram.

(ditto) we get 735460.12 joules

Conclusion

Adding them together, we get 292,112,695 joules or 0.06981661 ton TNT (Small Building level)

As noted, we took values that were simplest and closest analogs, plus we did not include the latent heat from anything other than water.

Creating a volcano

Select the volcano size from the below data sources which can be directly taken from:

• Mount St Helens eruption - City level (1.00416 x 10^17 Joules of energy = 24 Megatons of TNT equivalent)
• Krakatoa Eruption - Mountain level (8.368E x 10^17 Joules of energy = 200 Megatons of TNT equivalent)
• Mount Tambora Eruption - Mountain level+ (3.3472 x 10^18 Joules of energy = 800 Megatons of TNT equivalent)
• Island Park Caldera super-eruption - Island level (9.6 x 10^19 Joules of energy = 23 Gigatons of TNT equivalent)
• Generally, annual volcanic activity in Earth accounted to 4 * 10^24 erg (Verhoogen, 1946) = 4 * 10^17 Joules of energy = 95.60229446 Megatons TNT (City level+)

Guess why Screwattack said in Ryu VS Jin that Kazuya Mishima's AP is about 100 megaton TNT, possibly less. (Hint: Mid value between a Krakatoa eruption and a St Helens eruption is 112 megatons TNT)

Oh yeah we have a simplified lava eruption formula

1. Lava is 40km underground
2. Measure time for lava to reach the ground (in seconds)
3. We have lava eruption speed (v = d/t) (measured in m/s)
4. Measure the area of the volcano mouth (A measured in m^2)
5. Volume of lava erupted per second = vA (measured in m^3/s)
6. Lava has a density of 3,100 kg/m^3
7. Volcano eruptrion power = 0.5 * 3,100 * vA * v^2 (measured in Joule/second or Watt)

Punching up a sandbag

Punching up a sandbag midair is easier than most people may think. We may do that too with some tandem of accumulated punches.

Your typical sandbag.

It comes at 100 cm height and 25 cm diameter. And weighs 1.18 kg by itself.

Volume when filled = pi * (25/2)^2 * 100 = 49087.38521 cc (cubic centimeter) or 0.049087385 cum (cubic meter)

Surface area = side + top and bottom = pi * 25 * 100 + pi * (25/2)^2 * 2 = 8835.729338 cm^2

Packed dry sand density = 1682 kg per cum

Sand weight in a fully filled sandbag = 1682 * 0.049087385 = 82.56498193 kg

Weight of one whole sandbag = 83.74498193 kg

Punching it up at half its own height (say 0.5 m) = 83.74498193 * 9.81 * 0.5 = 410.7691364 J (Street level)

Normally a sandbag for novices is filled with cotton and other materials instead, and would weigh 20 kg - I will also consider it as a low end.

Weight of a filled sandbag for novice = 21.18 kg

Punching it up at half its own height (say 0.5 m) = 21.18 * 9.81 * 0.5 = 103.8879 J (Athletic Human level)

What about a larger sandbag say 120 cm height and 40 cm diameter?

Volume when filled = pi * (40/2)^2 * 120 = 150796.4474 cc (cubic centimeter) or 0.049087385 cum (cubic meter)

Surface area = side + top and bottom = pi * 40 * 120 + pi * (40/2)^2 * 2 = 17592.91886 cm^2

Sand weight in a fully filled sandbag = 1682 * 0.150796447 = 253.6396245 kg

Material weight = 1.18 kg / 8835.729338 * 17592.91886 = 2.349511 kg

Weight of a larger filled sandbag = 253.6396245 + 2.349511111 = 255.9891356 kg

Punching it up at half its own height (now 0.6 m) = 255.9891356 * 9.81 * 0.6 = 1506.752052 J (Street level)

Piercing a sandbag

When Cap Am and Dan Hibiki can do this...

Theory: Sandbags are good at absorbing impact energies by spreading the energy taken among the sand inside the bag.

Therefore, theoretical energy intake to pierce a hole in a sandbag by punching = energy in destroying the surface area of the bag plus the energy of all the sand in the said bag.

Surface area of a punch by Votron5 gripping = 25.929159 cm^2

A training sandbag is made of the polyester 30% Carbon Fiber (30 CF) PET, whose density usually sticks to 1.4 g/cm^3
Sandbag material volume = 1.18 * 1000 / 1.4 = 842.8571429 cm^3
Sandbag thickness = 842.8571429 cm^3 / 8835.729338 cm^2 = 0.095391915 cm
Volume of sandbag destroyed in a punch (with 2 sides) = 0.095391915 cm * 25.929159 cm^2 * 2 = 4.946864268 cm^3
PET destruction energy = PET Ultimate Tensile Strength = 140 MPa = 140 J/cc
Energy on destroying the bag = 4.946864268 * 140 = 692.5609975 J

Go back to the sand.

Pulverisation of soil = 1 J/cc

Energy of sand/soil pulverised =
(Small sandbag) 49087.38521 * 1 = 49087.38521 J
(Large sandbag) 150796.4474 * 1 = 150796.4474 J

Energy taken in piercing a sandbag with a punch =
(Small sandbag) 49087.38521 + 692.5609975 = 49779.94621 J (Wall level)
(Large sandbag) 150796.4474 + 692.5609975 = 151489.0084 J (Wall level)

Yep piercing a sandbag by a punch takes more energy when it only takes 20,195 J for shooting a .50 BMG bullet flying at 882 m/s from a Serbu BFG-50A semi-automatic rifle. This is because pressure focuses force applied on a smaller surface area and allows fewer time and space for the neighbouring sand to absorb the energy.

Being crushed by a Mount Tai

... Actually you only need to make a hole to hold yourself, just like digging up from the underground.

Crushing a Mount Tai

... Mount_Tai stands 1,505 m tall and covers an area of 25,000 ha or 250000000 m^2. And is composed of granite. Assume cone structure.

Volume = (1/3 * 1505 * 250000000) = 1.25417E+11 m^3 = 1.25417E+17 cc

Granite fragmentation yield = 14 J/cc * 1.25417E+17 cc = 1.75583E+18 419,654,238.37 tons of TNT (Mountain)

Granite low violent fragmentation yield = 103.42 J/cc * 1.25417E+17 cc = 1.29706E+19 J = 3,100,045,809.43 tons of TNT (Large Mountain+)

Granite high violent fragmentation yield = 175 J/cc * 1.25417E+17 cc = 2.19479E+19 J = 5,245,677,979.60 tons of TNT (Island)

Granite pulverisation yield = 203.25 J/cc * 1.25417E+17 cc = 2.54909E+19 J = 6,092,480,282.03 tons of TNT (Island)

Granite vaporisation yield = 27050 J/cc * 1.25417E+17 cc = 3.39252E+21 J = 810,831,939,133.21 tons of TNT (Large Island)

Lifting a Mount Tai

Granite is 2.7 g/cm^3

So mass of Mount Tai = 1.25417E+17 cc * 2.7 g/cm^3 = 3.38625E+17 g = 3.38625E+14 kg (Class T)

PE from lifting it at a human arm length = 9.81 * 3.38625E+14 kg * 0.7 m = 5.5941E+15 J = 1,337,021.64 tons of TNT (Large Town+)

PE from lifting it at an average human height = 9.81 * 3.38625E+14 kg * 1.684 m = 2.32534E+15 J = 555,769.09 tons of TNT (Small City)
