User:MrWarnerTheGreat/Violence Jack Lightning Bolt

From The Codex

Introduction

I'm going to be finding out the energy of this lightning bolt from the Voilence Jack franchise.

The Calculation

Determining our Formula and Values

The average lightning bolt is about an inch in width, with these lightning bolts on average containing 15 C (Coulombs) and one gigajoule of energy.

We're simply going to multiply the width of the lightning bolt shown in the panel above to the area of the island, since the general bolt seems to cover the entire island

Cumulonimbus Clouds vary in altitude height with the safest middleground being 12000 meters. Using the image above to compare, the width of the lightning bolt would be 912.052117263 meters. Using the formula for the area of a circle gives us 653000^2.

Final Equation and Results

65300000/2.54 = 25708661.4173 bigger. This would be that this particular lightning bolt has 25708661.4173 gigajoules of energy. This translates into roughly 6.14451754716 megatons of TNT. That is City level. Keep in mind that lightning bolts do not normally produce this amount of energy consistently due to how fast they travel and dissipate.
