The explosive potential of 266,000 m3 of liquefied natural gas (LNG) is staggeringThis is equivalent to:5.75 Petajoules (PJ)1,596 Gigawatt-hours (GWh)1.37 Megatons of TNTThe Hiroshima atomic bomb was ~15 kilotons (0.015 Mt).The Tsar Bomba, the largest nuclear weapon ever tested, was ~50 Megatons.
Odds are we will see one of these blow up before the war is over. Top tier kino.
>>531181087So its not staggering at all
that's not how gas works lmao
I doubt it will all blow at once in one big explosion. It will need to expand first
>>531181087It will not blow up,just burn.In order to blow up you have pressure it very hard or raise temperature.Once the hole punctured it will burn in small first explosion and then keep burning till the whole gas is burnt.Just like a regular canister.In order for them to be blown up you have to heat them.
>>531181087>1.47 MegatonnesYeah but explosions don't work like that. It needs an instant ignition of the entire volume of gas to actually release that. Even then there just isn't enough oxygen for it to all ignite at the same time.What would happen is that it just leaks and burns, maybe you get an explosion but it won't be anywhere near 1Mt.
>>531181087And?
>>531182027Don't worry, my child.I am able to release substantial amounts of "natural gas" for you to huff.
>>531182027this dude gets ittnt and explosives explode because they have both reacting chemicals insidea flammable gas needs to be perfectly mixed with oxygen/air in a closed container to "explode"
>>531181384One blew up like 2 weeks ago in the Med after the Ukies attacked it. I hope the Ukies don't let up, they can't let Russia cash in on these higher prices.
>>531182842so pay a jamboi to get in there and mix the air and gas togetherno more nukes needed and you got rid of an indian in the process
>>531182199what if you hit it with a big bomb?
>>531183074It would be extremely painful.
>>531181087>1.4 Megatons of TNTCan I see your work please?
>>531181087If it happened next to a city, the shockwave would put out a lot of windows. Worse than Kristallnacht.
>>531183610> Worse than Kristallnacht.You mean “better”
>>531183155The explosive potential of 266,000 m3 of liquefied natural gas (LNG) is staggering, but it requires a crucial clarification. The volume you've given is for the liquid state. To create the most powerful explosion, it must first vaporize back into a gas, mix with the correct amount of air, and then be detonated. This process, known as a Vapor Cloud Explosion (VCE), is the most destructive form such an event can take.Here is the step-by-step breakdown of the explosion's maximum potential.Step 1: Phase Change - From Liquid to GasThe key to LNG's massive energy density is that it's a cryogenic liquid. When it warms up, it expands enormously.Expansion Ratio: Natural gas expands by a ratio of approximately 1:600 when transitioning from a liquid to a gas at standard atmospheric pressure and temperature.Gas Volume Calculation:Vgas=Vliquid×Expansion RatioVgas=Vliquid×Expansion RatioVgas=266,000m3×600Vgas=266,000m3×600Vgas=159,600,000m3Vgas=159,600,000m3So, your 266,000 m3 of LNG would become 159.6 million cubic meters of flammable natural gas. This is the volume we use for the energy calculation.Step 2: Energy CalculationUsing the gas volume calculated above and the standard Lower Heating Value (LHV) of natural gas (~36 MJ/m3):Total Potential Energy:Energy=Vgas×LHVEnergy=Vgas×LHVEnergy=159,600,000m3×36MJ/m3Energy=159,600,000m3×36MJ/m3Energy=5,745,600,000MJEnergy=5,745,600,000MJThis is equivalent to:5.75 Petajoules (PJ)1,596 Gigawatt-hours (GWh)1.37 Megatons of TNTStep 3: TNT Equivalent and ScaleThis is where the numbers become truly catastrophic.1 Megaton of TNT = 4.184 PetajoulesThe LNG explosion = 1.37 Megatons of TNTTo put this into perspective:The Hiroshima atomic bomb was ~15 kilotons (0.015 Mt).The Tsar Bomba, the largest nuclear weapon ever tested, was ~50 Megatons.

>>531183732Thanks, ChudGPT.
>1 m3 of LNG weights 500kg (0.5 tons)>266 000 m3 weights 133 kilotons>LNG has ten times as much "explosive potential" as TNG per weightsounds utterly retarded
>>531183808It also needs the entirety of the volume to be ignited all at once, all while perfectly mixed with O2.It sounds retarded because it is retarded.
>>531181087in nick land's gematria both wisdom and gnosis equal to 137. Are you evoking right now?
>>531183760yes, potential, which is not what would happen in a real scenario, you would need to perfectly match and mix oxygen, you calculate explosion energy potential from how much energy it could produce in a controlled burn, which is stupid, you essentially saying that a forest is a nuke because it produces the same energy when burned downfuel air bombs are a real thing and they are powerful but not nuken evel, they work by having a small charge disperse the fuel first, then a second charge igniting it, it produces a very strong shockwave
>>531184146>It sounds retarded because it is retarded.no its not fucking retarded its the way smart people think"under ideal situations what is the absolute maximum potential of something" like if you have a store you calculate how much money you could make in one day if you somehow emptied your entire inventory or whatever. Then once you know the absolute maximum of something you can start cutting it down very significantly to more realistic numbers.
>>531184304NO ONE SAID ANYTHING ABOUT THIS BEING A FUCKING REALISTIC SCENARIO DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE WORD POTENTIAL MEANS YOU FUCKING FAVELA MONKEY
POTENTIAL IN PHYSICS IS DIFFERENT THAN POTENTIAL IN OTHER SITUATIONSSCIENCE YOU FUCKING APE DO YOU SPEAK IT
AI OverviewPotential Difference or Voltage - StickMan PhysicsYes, potential in physics is fundamentally different from the general, colloquial usage (such as "potential talent"). In physics, potential refers to a measurable, quantitative scalar field representing potential energy per unit charge or mass at a specific point in space. It describes the capability of a field to do work on an object. Key Differences Between Physics Potential and General Usage: Quantitative vs. Qualitative: In physics, potential (e.g., or ) has precise units and values (like Volts for electric potential), whereas colloquial potential is a general, non-quantifiable concept. Locational, Not Intrinsic: Potential in physics depends on position within a field (like electric, gravitational), rather than being an intrinsic, inherent capability of the object itself. Difference Matters, Not Value: In physics, "potential" usually implies potential difference between two points, which dictates how energy moves (e.g., charge moves from high to low potential). Scalar vs. Vector: Potential is a scalar field, simplifying complex vector force calculations. Fundamental Nature: Some interpretations suggest potentials are more fundamental to physical reality than the forces themselves, particularly in quantum mechanics. In summary, while both concepts refer to a stored ability to change, physics potential is a rigorous, quantitative measure of energy position, whereas general potential is an qualitative expectation.
>>531182902You cant cash in if your export potential is blown up
>>531181087Let's see one of these take the Kerch Bridge
>>531181087>all that gas in narrow strategic straight controlled by multiple muslim countries >it goes boom>straight is no longer narrow>multiple muslim countries vaporized I fail to see a downside
>>531181087The entire volume is not going to combust simultaneously.
>>531182321>there just isn't enough oxygen for it to all ignite at the same time.this. a lot of people dont realize that quite a high concentration of oxygen is required in the gas mix for explosions to be possible.
>>531184375>>531184405>>531184532>>531184607Calm down, schizo.
>>531181087Gonna be a slow burn with no dispersal/oxidizer
>>531185946ship go kaboom
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Z4g6dGPgA0Observe rocket failure footage. It's mostly a deflagration without much explosive force.
>>531183760a pebble going at a certain speed has higher "explosive potential" than any bomb. totally pointless use of the term
>>531181087your maths is wrong OP is 5.75 exajoule. LNG is 22 MJ/L, m3 is 1e6 liter so 22 * 2.66 * 1e6 * 1e5 * 1e6 which is in 1e18 range.sorry OP youre retarded
>>531184375Heyo burger, it's retarded because you are comparing something designed to release all of that energy with something that will never release that energy, apples to oranges.And using AI doesn't make your argument better, it just shows you are not only retarded but a schizo as well.
>>531188456i really dont like the way retards are using the chatbots.
>>531189495Too bad, bitch. You want everyone to only do what you approve?Kill yourself.
>>531181087We supply 55% of the EU’s LNG now.LET’S FUDGING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/infographics/where-does-the-eu-s-gas-come-from/#:~:text=The%20United%20States%20was%20the,France
>>531190026just stop being a retard playing with chatbots while thinking it means anything. fucking retard. the next generation of retards will be even worse than you since they wont even know how to using a search engine at all instead of just being too lazy and stupid to do so.
>>531181087Ok math nerds, what if you had a second ship full of compressed oxygen next to the lng tanker to maximize the fuel air mixture, plus o2 is explosive by itself, does this drastically increase the odds of getting a devastating fuel air explosion? Instead of like 10% yield you get 60%+?? Asking for a friend.
>>531183760>explosive potentialMy bowels after the first coffee of the morning
>>531183732AI slopper cant into proper physics
>>531182199>>531184146>>531187459It must be possible to get a decent explosion somehow. There's video of that propane train exploding and flinging railway carriages several miles away right?
>>531181087It is not that bad. The reason is that the gas need to mix with oxygen first. This only happens slowly as it ignites. This gives a big fireball but not a strong shockwave. The energy is released way more gradually.
>>531187459>>531184146>>531182321>>531187180so basically Iran just needs to drop oxygen tanks on it instead of bombs, and then toss a lighter on it
>>531195905no. they need to sneak teams aboard with half a million cubic meters of pure oxygen and then mix it fully with the natural gas once its boiled off.then toss a lighter on it.
