  2. TNT equivalent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNT_equivalent

    TNT equivalent is a convention for expressing energy, typically used to describe the energy released in an explosion. The ton of TNT is a unit of energy defined by convention to be 4.184 gigajoules ( 1 gigacalorie ), [ 1 ] which is the approximate energy released in the detonation of a metric ton (1,000 kilograms) of TNT .

  3. Table of explosive detonation velocities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_explosive...

    The velocity of detonation is an important indicator for overall energy and power of detonation, and in particular for the brisance or shattering effect of an explosive which is due to the detonation pressure. The pressure can be calculated using Chapman-Jouguet theory from the velocity and density.

    Muzzle energy: 15–24 MJ [5] (described 15MJ probably refer to high-explosive shell) Penetration : estimated 850 to 1,000 mm at 0° at 2000m [ 5 ] 3VBM?/3BM70 "Vacuum-2"

  5. Grand Slam (bomb) - Wikipedia

    6.5 long tons (6.6 t) TNT equivalent The Bomb, Medium Capacity, 22,000 lb ( Grand Slam ) was a 22,000 lb (10,000 kg) earthquake bomb used by RAF Bomber Command against German targets towards the end of the Second World War .

  6. Largest artificial non-nuclear explosions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Largest_artificial_non...

    Using a standard energy release of 43 MJ/kg of kerosene gives about 29 TJ for the energy of the explosion (about 6.93 kt TNT equivalent). Investigators later determined that as much as 85% of the fuel in the rocket did not detonate, meaning that the blast yield was likely no more than 1 kt TNT equivalent . [ 62 ]

  8. Cobalt bomb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobalt_bomb

    A cobalt bomb is a type of "salted bomb": a nuclear weapon designed to produce enhanced amounts of radioactive fallout, intended to contaminate a large area with radioactive material, potentially for the purpose of radiological warfare, mutual assured destruction or as doomsday devices.

  9. Richter scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richter_scale

    The Richter scale [1] (/ ˈ r ɪ k t ər /), also called the Richter magnitude scale, Richter's magnitude scale, and the Gutenberg–Richter scale, [2] is a measure of the strength of earthquakes, developed by Charles Richter in collaboration with Beno Gutenberg, and presented in Richter's landmark 1935 paper, where he called it the "magnitude scale".
