[QUOTE]Originally posted by Treknophyle: [QB] "I'm a designer, not a mathematician..." Actually, I think we both may have let an error creep in. Looking at your corrections, I sought to simplify the calculations. Check this out please: [Density of LH (Slush):] 1cc = .0707 grams 1 cubic meter (1x10^3 meter) = 7.07 x 10^1 kg 1 pod anti-hydrogen shush (1x10^2 cubic meters) = 7.07x10^3 kg [Energy Released by Matter/Antimatter Reaction] 1 kg = 9.0x10^16J - remember double figure to allow for 1 kg of matter as well Reactant mass for 1 pod: 7.07x10^3 kg AM + 7.07x10^3 kg M = 1.1414x10^4kg 1.414x10^4kg x 9.0x10^16 = 1.2726x10^21J [Megatonnage/Potential Explosive Power per Pod] 1 pod + reactant = 1.2726x10^21J (1 megaton of TNT = 4.18x10^15) Therefore 1 pod + reactant = 3.0444976x10^5 megatons = 3.0444976x10^2 gigatons [/QB][/QUOTE]
