Calc Eureka Seven - Air Force missiles destroy the Thurston Garage

Calculations


A pair of Air Force missiles destroy the Thurston Garage. I'm not sure if this was a KLF or a plane, but still, it's impressive. Previously, I put the width of the Thurston Garage windows at between 1.55100m and 2.2907077m.

(Low end)

97 pixels = 1.55100m
1 pixel = 1.55100m/97 = 0.0159896907m

(High end)

97 pixels = 2.2907077m
1 pixel = 2.2907077m/97 = 0.0236155433m

(Low end)
0.0159896907m X 2201 = 35.1933092m
35.1933092m/2 = 17.5966546m

(High end)
0.0236155433m X 2201 = 51.9778108m
51.9778108m/2 = 25.9889054m

We have the radius for our low end and our high end, so let's use the low end and high end nuke calculators! With Nukemap (for fireball radius), we get a low end yield of 15 tons of TNT and a high end yield of 39 tons of TNT (it only goes by divisions of 10 for such low numbers, but by getting the lowest and highest ratings of 20m, those being 0.016 kilotons and 0.55 kilotons we can roughly determine where the middle is). As this was two missiles, we divide the yield by two for our final results (those being 7.5 tons of TNT and 19.5 tons of TNT respectively. Using the MIT nuke calculator (for fireball radius at breakaway for contact surface burst) we get a low end yield of 98 tons of TNT, and a high end yield of 262 tons of TNT; this of course gives us an individual yield of 49 tons of TNT and 131 tons of TNT.

Final Results
Air Force destroys the Thurston Garage (low low end) = 15 tons of TNT
Air Force destroys the Thurston Garage (high low end) = 39 tons of TNT
Air Force destroys the Thurston Garage (low high end) = 98 tons of TNT
Air Force destroys the Thurston Garage (high high end) = 262 tons of TNT
Individual missile yield (low low end) = 7.5 tons of TNT
Individual missile yield (high low end) = 19.5 tons of TNT
Individual missile yield (low high end) = 49 tons of TNT
Individual missile yield (high high end) = 131 tons of TNT
