There are various great feats from Scarlet Traces: The Great Game, a sequel to War of the Worlds. Several of which are calcable. 1. Lunar Accelerator The speed is 23473 miles a second, or 37776131.7m/s. T = 37776131.7/299792458 X 100 = 12.6007612% C This Accelerator later gets...

A tripod falls to Earth and creates a crater. A quick search reveals a ute to be 1497mm tall, or 1.497m. 106 pixels = 1.497m 1 pixel = 1.497m/106 = 0.0141226415m 0.0141226415m X 550 = 7.76745282m 0.0141226415m X 761 = 10.7473302m 10.7473302m/2 = 5.3736651m 52 pixels = 7.76745282m 1 pixel =...

The Martians Heat Ray shakes the ground enough to break windows. It does this again later. We can determine a minimum distance from the first one. 200 yards is equal to 182.88m. Breaking windows matches a scale VI on the mercalli scale, which translates to 5 on the richter scale. Playing...

But still, they come. The Martians cylinders fly towards the Earth at several thousand miles a minute, and backs this up by confirming that the missiles are traversing many miles a second. It says miles (as in plural), so that should be at least 2000 miles, or 3218.688km. T = 3218.688km/60s...

The army tries to nuke the Martians, which fails. Also of importance is a line about the bomb; This would have included Ivy Mike of 1952, which had a yield of 10.4 megatons. E = 10.4 X 10 = 104 megatons Strong bomb and strong shields. Final Results Humanity nukes the Martians = 104 megatons

The tripods emerging from the ground cause earthquakes. Earlier in the movie, we're given the exact magnitude, so this will be easy. Enter 6.5 into the earthquake calculator and have you 3.5481338923358E+14 joules, or 84.802435285272466103 kilotons. Final Results Tripods cause earthquakes =...
