Calc GaoGaiGar - EI-09 generates clouds

Calculations
Finally time to get into the big stuff. EI-09 is creates a colossal cloud around itself that's over 300km in diameter. Said cloud has been expanding for 74 hours, at a rate of 40km/h (I've a feeling 40m/h is a mistranslation), being 99% identical to a standard cloud composition.

First up, let's get the thickness of the cloud, scaling from DrillGao. DrillGao has a length of 18.2m.

21 pixels = 18.2m
18.2m/21 = 0.866666667m
0.866666667m X 102 = 88.4m

45 pixels = 88.4m
1 pixel = 88.4m/45 = 1.96444444m
1.96444444m X 2137 = 4198.01777m (4.19801777km)
1.96444444m X 460 = 903.644442m
1.96444444m X 630 = 1237.6m

The radius of 300km is 150km, or 150,000m. Volume of the cloud as a cylinder.

V = πr^2h
= π X 150,000^2 X 1237.6
= 8.7480789e13m^3

A cumulus cloud weighs 0.5g/m^3 (or 0.0005kg/m^3).

M = 8.7480789e13 X 0.0005kg
= 43740394500kg
= 43740394500000g

Condensation of water vapour to liquid is 2260 joules per gram.

E = 43740394500000 X 2260
= 9.88532916e16 joules
= 23.626503728489485212 megatons

That' it's total energy, but it took some time to get to that level. As said earlier, it took 74 hours for the cloud to expand to that level.

T = 60 X 60 X 74
= 266400 seconds

E = 9.88532916e16/266400
= 3.71070914e11 joules
= 88.688076959847 tons of TNT

That's not all though! Pizza bestowed upon this Zonder a plasma field, which covers the entire cloud.

Now comes the tricky part; finding the energy of a plasma field, which could be very tricky indeed. However, we can cheat a bit; lightning is plasmarized air particles, so therefore, we can get the power of a lightning storm.

Observed values in thunderstorm environments often may exceed 1,000 joules per kilogram (j/kg), and in extreme cases may exceed 5,000 j/kg. However, as with other indices or indicators, there are no threshold values above which severe weather becomes imminent.

(Low end)
E = 43740394500 X 1000
= 4.37403945e13 joules
= 10.454205186424474 kilotons

(High end)
E = 43740394500 X 5000
= 2.18701972e14 joules
= 52.2710258126195058 kilotons

Final Results
EI-09 diameter = 4.198km
EI-09 generates a cloud (total energy) = 23.627 megatons
EI-09 generates a cloud (per second) = 88.688 tons of TNT
EI-09's plasma field (low end) = 10.454 kilotons
EI-09's plasma field (high end) = 52.271 kilotons


Lower than I thought it would be. Unfortunately, there's still a bunch of clouds in the sky after EI-09 is defeated, so I don't believe we can get the kinetic energy from parting clouds.
