jag tycker att det verkar lite konstigt. det finns ju massor med nulekära vapen ute i världen, och en sådan detonation släpper ju lös fler energiformer än bara kinetisk. den största delen blir nog värme, massor med värme. det går åt mycket röreöse energi för att skapa höga temperaturer, och i en orkan så är det ju bara rörelseenergi. att värma 150 liter vatten 20 grader (typ energin det går åt till att göra lite mysigt vatten att bada i ) är tillräckligt för att lyfta lite drygt 80kg nästan 16 km upp i luften 🙂
