User blog:Edwardtruong2006/Calc Request: Obliterating a Landkreuzer P. 1000 Ratte

Requested by Legion350.

I will be calculating how much energy is needed to pulverise a Landkreuzer P. 1000 Ratte.

This calc is mostly based off of this calc

According to the wikipedia page, Landkreuzers are 1000 tonnes

Inputting that into this calculator with the density of stainless steel gives me 129198966.40827 cubic centimeters.

According to this, the energy needed to pulverise steel is 310 j/cc to 1000 j/cc

Low-End: 129198966.40827*300 = 38759689922.481 joules or 9.26 tons of TNT which is nicely into Large Building level+

High-End: 129198966.40827*1000 = 129198966408.27 joules or 30 tons of TNT, a good bit into City Block level
