Calc Gurren Lagann - General Adiane sends a tidal wave

Calculations


General Adiane (in Sayrune) sends a giant tidal wave crashing into Dai-Gurren. Unfortunately, as all the old calcs with Gurren Lagann's size in them have crashed, we're going to need to rescale. Kamina is 184cm tall.

52 pixels = 184cm (1.84m)
1 pixel = 1.84m/52 = 0.0353846154m
0.0353846154m X 544 = 19.2492308m
0.0353846154m X 298 = 10.5446154m

Now scaling Gurren Lagann to Dai-Gunzan/Dai-Gurren...

142 pixels = 19.2492308m
1 pixel = 19.2492308m/142 = 0.135557963m
0.135557963m X 2162 = 293.076316m

At last we can get the height of the wave.

470 pixels = 293.076316m
1 pixel = 293.076316m/470 = 0.62356663m
0.62356663m X 381 = 237.578886m
0.62356663m X 2076 = 1294.52432m

Next we need the distance it travelled and the width of the area it covered.

257 pixels = 237.578886m
1 pixel = 237.578886m/257 = 0.924431463m
0.924431463m X 2880 = 2662.36261m
object degree size = 2*atan(Object_Size/(Panel_Height/tan(70/2)))
= 2*atan(257/(1612/tan(70/2)))
= 0.150793492 rad
= 8.63983066966117619 degrees

When we enter this into the angscaler, we get a distance of 1572.5m of the wave to Dai-Gurren. To add the minimum distance it travelled after passing Dai-Gurren...

L = 1572.5m + 1294.52432m
= 2867.02432m

With length, height and width, we can add all of those together for our volume, and from volume, our mass. Volume as a rectangular prism.

V = lhw
= 237.578886 X 2662.36261 X 2867.02432
= 1.8134535e9m^3

Water weighs 1000kg/m^3.

M = 1.8134535e9 X 1000kg
= 1813453500000kg

So that's all the dimensions required for size, all we need now is the speed. How fast did the wave traverse the screen?

Timeframe is 23 frames.

T = 1s/24
= 41.6666667ms X 23
= 0.958333334s

T = 1294.52432m/0.958333334s
= 1350.80799m/s

With everything we need, let's get our kinetic energy!

KE = (0.5)mv^2
= (0.5) X 1813453500000 X 1350.80799^2
= 1.65448818e18 joules
= 395.43216539196941994 megatons

Final Results
Gurren Lagann height = 19.249m
Dai-Gurren length = 293.076m
Sayrune creates a giant tidal wave = 395.432 megatons
