[QUOTE]Originally posted by Neutrino 123: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [qb](If I am remembering my nerd figures right. I looked it up, and some website was claiming upwards of 90 megatons for 1.5 kg of matter vs. an equal amount of antimatter, assuming a simple though wholly unrealistic total annhilation.) [/qb][/QUOTE]Unrealistic? I'd think there would be plenty of matter lying around to annihilate with the antimatter. I'm sure the torpedo case itself is more then 1.5kg ;) . You don't need to get special matter to annihilate the antimatter and try to get them to collide just right! Also, 3 kilograms of matter/antimatter converted to energy would give about 2.7x10^17 Joules or 65 megatons. Using the actual TNT value rather then the conventional measurement gives almost 100 megatons (I don't think that's the most common choice of unit, though). To compare (in conventional units) hydrogen bombs are on the order of magnitude of one megaton, and the Hiroshima bomb was about 13 kilotons. [/QB][/QUOTE]
