BlazBlue really out here tryna look like Dungeons and Dragons, embarrassing
Requested by Thegla, just a simple explosion calc. Someone blows up a transmission tower.
Calc[]
So, since we only see a still image of the explosion, we don't have much to scale to for size. I'm choosing to go with the width of the rods that make up the tower in full.
Tower Size = ~30 m = 1956 px
Rod Width = 23 cm = 15 px
Now for image two, the explosion proper. This was specifically up in the air so no overpressure method afaik, bog-standard near-total fatalities for this one.
Rod Width = 10 px = 23 cm
Explosion Diameter = 867 px = 19.94 m
Halve for a radius of 9.97 meters, or 0.00997 km.
Y = ((x/0.28)^3)/1000 where Y is the yield of the blast in Megatons of TNT and x is the radius in kilometers.
((0.00997/0.28)^3)/1000 = 4.515e-8 Megatons of TNT, or just about 1.889e8 Joules, Small Building level
Apparently this is an upgrade, though still in the same tier as characters are already. Oh well.
