Question by Aaron S<\/i>: me and my friend try to design stupid machine, need info? ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

ok once this has been answered i’ll tell you how all these things relate:<\/p>\n

what is the average weight of a male and female (i mean human, for all those pedantic out there, keep up the good work ; ))<\/p>\n

what is the weight of the moon<\/p>\n

what is the density of steel <\/p>\n

what is the highest amount of rpm achieved by a man made engine including jet turbines and stuff like that.<\/p>\n

generally at what speed would a human impacting with water disintegrate or come close to disintegrating (been squashed to about the thickness of a pancake by surface tension is good too)<\/p>\n

and just for comparison how many joules was produced when the largest atomic bomb went off.<\/p>\n

answer all these and you get best answer and explanation of what the hell we are thinking of making (well not actually making but lathing over, man we’re sadistic).<\/p>\n

Best answer:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Answer by Dave D<\/i>
1 million tons of TNT contains 4.2E15 joules of energy. So the largest atomic bomb ever tested was 60 megatons, or 2.5E17 joules.<\/p>\n

When Mythbusters dropped Buster into water from a height of 100 feet, he was utterly destroyed. So you can compute the velocity from that.<\/p>\n

The highest RPM ever attained was a small diameter magnetically levitated steel needle, which was spun up to 60 million RPM before the centrifugal force caused it to fail.<\/p>\n
