Calc Teppelin Hammer (TTGL)

Calculations
Pretty straightforward shit here.

During the Battle of Teppelin, Dai-gurren charges the Teppelin mech. Spiral King responds by swinging a fucking massive hammer-arm thing at it.

I'll be using my scaling for Gurren Lagann from this calc here.

(71.5143/38)969.2=1824m

Okay, so Dai-Gurren is 1.824km in length.

I'm going to calculate the dimensions of the hammer thing as two conical frustums.

(1824/4.5)137=55530.7m

(1824/4.5)214=86741m

(1824/4.5)326=132138.7m

volume of a conical frumstrum=(1/3)pi(r^2+rR+R^2)h

wherein

R=43370.5m

r=27765.35m

and

h=66069.35m

(1/3)pi(27765.35^2+27765.35(43370.5)+43370.5^2)66069.35

v=266795374852853.13m^3

vtotal=266795374852853.13(2)=533590749705706.26m^3

Now that that's over with, next is mass. Density of steel is 7850kg/m^3, right? I think it's pretty safe to say this thing is made of steel.

533590749705706.26(7850)=4188687385189794141kg

...:lmao

Now for speed.

I cropped these caps unevenly, but this can be solved by measuring the amount of pixels from Teppelin to the edge of the screen.

A 2px difference means we add 2px to the smaller value, which gives us 669px.

680-669=11px

(1824/4.5)11=4458.7m

The motion happens in 1 frame, and the frame-rate of the video is 23.952fps, so we have a time-frame of 1/23.952s.

4458.6/(1/23.952)=106792.3872m/s

or about mach 314.

(Dai-Gurren matches this speed, by the way. Only reason I bring it up is 'cause I remember some kid telling me that Lancelot from Code Geass was leagues faster than P1 Gurren Lagann :maybe)

Anyway...

KE=.5mv^2
KE=.5(4188687385189794141)106792.3872^2
KE=23885181321720715189838483321.41251072J

or about 5.7 exatons.

Both Dai-Gurren and Gurren Lagann took this to the face. In the same episode, Razengan literally ripped Gurren Lagann to shreds.
